The big day is approaching. No time to waste.
Over the weekend I took my daughters to the ocean for the first time in their lives. It was a trip planned for quite some time - before I knew what my current working situation would be. And so, with our non-refundable plane tickets, we boarded a plane late Friday for a weekend in sunny California. I'd decided a while ago that to visit the ocean, they needed to visit somewhere warm and especially during the winter months. Thanks to a lot of help from willing contributors, the three papers were able to get out on time with full coverage of events. It really does take a village, and I'm very grateful to have the help so I could get away for the weekend.
First of all, the recent week’s editions of the Advocate Tribune are much improved and I feel like I am reading a hometown newspaper. There is more local news and coverage of area sporting events now. Thank you for that!

Back in 1951 my mom’s older sister, then a young widow with two youngsters ages seven and three, packed up their clothes and a few belongings and boarded a train to California, to start over and build a new life for herself and her kids. They stayed with her brother and his family near Oakland, and she soon found a job working for the city there.
Greetings! Since you’ll hear from me each week about CAIR 2.0, the 2022 Community Artist in Residence reboot, I figured I should introduce myself. If you’re reading this, feel free to picture a sock puppet mouthing every word.
Once upon a time there was a young girl who was never satisfied with what she had. When her friends would get the new name-brand jeans, she would feel less-than because she didn’t have what they had. When her friend’s parents got a new car, she would feel less-than because her parents didn’t have a new car. She judged everything she had by what others had. She never took the time to like what she had. These feelings became the foundation for a life of always wanting more; a life of never being content; a life of superficial happiness.
