Business Matters

Sebastiano “Yano” Caniglia was one of the best known names in Omaha for decades. He was the proprietor of Mr. C’s Steakhouse, one of the best eats that ever was in Omaha or anywhere. I had my after-graduation party there. The whole city mourned that day the restaurant closed it’s doors for the last time.
This story is not about him.
There was another Yano Caniglia in Omaha. With a name like that, they were often confused, naturally. If fact, when the other Yano Caniglia died back in 2006, “Not Mr. C” was at the top of his obituary.

First off let my start by saying I do not have anyone in my family going to the Fairbury Public Schools.
 I read Facebook, particularly the Fairbury area one. 
I realize that maybe 80 percent of what is put on there is exaggerated or just plain lies. However, I read an article from a mother the other day about the bullying that has been going on in the High School. If this is really true it breaks my heart.

“What’s Next?”

First, I want to apologize to the newspaper staff, namely, Jennifer, and the readers who read the Pastor’s Articles. I made several mistakes in the last article I sent in, “I Might See...,” because I did not have my wife proof read it for me.  I apologize for all the mistakes and I ask for your forgiveness. I will do better the next time catch all the mistakes, and have my wife proof read it for me. She did the proof reading on my book I wrote for Doctoral Thesis for my PhD.

Get It Straight First

This is the time of year for giving. Many charities need help this time of year, from food pantries, to homeless shelters, pet adoption agencies, suicide prevention groups, families in need, toys for kids in need, so on and so forth.
I know dollars get stretched this time of year for everyone just trying to get by, but I want to encourage everyone to look at helping someone in need. This doesn’t have to be money given to a charity, this doesn’t have to be items donated to an organization, it can be simply paying something forward in thought and deed.

That’s What You Think

You will notice elsewhere in these pages a story about State Senator Tom Brandt visiting our humble burg recently. That story was written by me. He discussed a number of legislation currently in the works at Nebraska’s halls of government.

Save What Is Worth Saving

One day on the road to Damascus, the man who was to become the Apostle Paul met Jesus. Years later, he said this about the change the encounter had made in his perspective: “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ…For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ” (Philippians 3:7-8).
Interestingly enough, Paul’s experience is remarkably similar to that of one of my friends. Here it is, exactly as it happened:
One fateful day, my buddy Joe 

Knowledge In Shopping

The holiday season is upon us and that, naturally, means shopping. Over Thanksgiving weekend, I had a chance to observe ‘Black Friday’ and see what people go through and the experiences of shopping in person and shopping online.

Future Fashion

When my father was growing up, men wore suites and ties and hats. They wore them everywhere. They got dressed up to go to the movies or even just to hang out at a bar, drinking with their buddies.
I was born in the sixties. Hats had largely been relegated to “old-timer” status by then. I blame President Kennedy. He was the coolest of the presidents and one of the few that American men wanted to emulate. (For example, the election of FDR did not see a spike in overlong cigarette holders.) Kennedy was almost never seen wearing a had, so hats went out of favor.

Thankful For Junk

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It seems appropriate for me to write a little something about whatever it is I am thankful for. But what? I am thankful for so much. I am thankful for my books. I am thankful for chocolate. I am thankful Chevy Chase doesn’t have a talk show anymore. I am thankful I don’t have to cook Thanksgiving dinner. (My family is also thankful for that.)
I suppose I should pick something new, or at least new this year. So how about my car? Yes, I am thankful for my car.
