Give yourself a month of being alcohol-free
Give yourself a month of being alcohol-free
Excessive alcohol use is commonplace during the holiday season, and it is the reason why so many people choose to give themselves an alcohol-free break. Dry January is popular, but you can start this exercise anytime. 01/21/2024 05:00 AM
Dear Abby
Family fails to be there when needed the most
DEAR ABBY: Somehow I became the go-to person for everyone in my family – siblings as well as parents. I have the means, and for decades, I have been happy to help. I recently lost a brother, and I assumed the people I’ve been there for would be there to support ME. 01/18/2024 05:00 AM

Speaking up: Starting a new nonprofit the San Marcos Civics Club
In 2024 let us protect what is uniquely San Marcos: Our beautiful crystal river, What’s left of our authentic downtown, Our historic districts, and Our established neighborhoods. In new areas of town we can experiment with new ideas, such as having a triplex on a lot next to a single family home. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
Been at your job too long? Maybe not
Been at your job too long? Maybe not
Without much fanfare (okay, I did write and voice a radio commercial noting the milestone), I recently marked 25 years of my “day job” working for a farmers cooperative. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM
If migrants bused from Texas can’t make it in New York, can they make it anywhere?
If migrants bused from Texas can’t make it in New York, can they make it anywhere?
Gov. Greg Abbott is a genius. His devious plot to school the smug liberals to the north about the migrant crisis on our Southern border is working beautifully. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM

Speaking up: Starting a new nonprofit the San Marcos Civics Club
While the San Marcos City Staff and Council are headed in the right direction with their “Dream Session” initiative, we need a resource to help our neighbors feel empowered to organize and know how to navigate concerns within our local government. As a former City Council Member, I know all too well what people think about how things are run and our recent 2022 San Marcos “National Community Survey” proved that there’s a lot of work to be done to build trust between our local government and its community members. For that reason I’m starting the San Marcos Civics Club. 01/14/2024 05:00 AM

Texas legislators passed the “School Chaplaincy Act” which was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 18th, 2023. Since then, over a dozen other states are poised to follow. Florida introduced a similar bill on December 22. School chaplaincy has overwhelming parent support and endorsements from grassroots organizations such as Ben Carson’s Institute and Moms for America. Legislation is teed up in states from Louisiana to Pennsylvania. 01/10/2024 12:00 AM
