Hi, my name’s Bill and I’m…

Well, how did that happen? Another month has gone by and I have found another reason not to write the AI column I keep going on about. Next month. By then I’ll have better concrete examples of how I’ve been using it.

How to dance in the sun

There are many organizations that provide assistance to veterans and civilians alike, and they are located all around the state.

Planting seeds that encourage us to read

I love to read. I think I always have. My memory doesn’t stretch back far enough to recall a time when good books weren’t a part of my life. Our home was filled with them. My parents were readers, so maybe I learned the art of reading by osmosis? If not, then certainly by example. As a toddler, I became a precocious reader.

Passport Program to draw shoppers to Boulder City

Boulder City has a great vision statement.

Attitude adjustment happens

Attitude … Ask anyone who knows me whether I’m in their “like” or “can’t stand her” category, and they’ll tell you I have attitude. But all of us have it. Some of us simply express it more openly.

Democrats missed chance to redraw district lines

Nevada Democrats in the legislature are affecting anger over a possible Republican plan to redistrict and reapportion districts six years early.

Being lucky in love is best luck of all

Are you suddenly avoiding black cats, tall ladders or broken mirrors? Have you found yourself throwing salt over your left shoulder just in case? Or knocking on wood?

Words of love play important role in others’ lives

Crisscrossing my cerebral imagery this February are tequila-and-beer Jimmy Buffett and my teetotaler husband. They share a love of brass and strings, both proficient on their trombone and guitars.

Sports, betting inextricably linked

Breeding issue tabled …again

It is a can that has been kicked down the road for almost three years – or more like 14 years, depending on how you count. And it got kicked down the road again last week as the city council failed to come to a consensus on the issue of pet breeding in Boulder City.
