“… but I love you.”

Posted on November 20, 2022 by Matt Grigsby

Another mass shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado overnight. Multiple dead and injured, and here we are again. Thoughts and prayers and hand-wringing will be offered up, but no solutions, no changes, no progress. Again. Politicians who are responsible… Continue Reading →

Brach’s Turkey Dinner Candy: Why?

Posted on October 12, 2021 by Matt Grigsby

I recently heard about some awful Thanksgiving dinner candy corn and had to rush out and buy some. With the exception of black licorice, I’m not one to shy away from candy so what could go wrong? Luckily the Walgreens… Continue Reading →

Dealing With It

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Matt Grigsby

Please give me a moment of your time and indulge me. This isn’t a tea-and-sympathy post or virtue signaling or me seeking validation or a crusade for a noble cause, it’s just something I need to get off my chest.… Continue Reading →

Have We Met?

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Matt Grigsby

I have a confession to make:  I probably don’t know who you are. Not “you”, all the strangers I’ve never met, but “you”, all the people I already know and have met multiple times.  It’s not that I’m bad with… Continue Reading →

The Year That Was

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Matt Grigsby

2017 was by far the worst year of my life. At the end of 2017, I felt completely exhausted, drained both emotionally and spiritually. Over those twelve months, my friend Sandy ended her life (I still feel guilty that I… Continue Reading →

  • Comment on Just in time for Halloween and the holidays, REU brings one of Redding’s oldest streets into 21st century by Strange Times
    What a positive column in these negative times. Having lived in neighborhoods both with and without streetlights, I am in the yes to streetlights camp.
