Today's Opinions

For most of Kentucky’s history, early January in odd-numbered years has been set aside to give the General Assembly time to elect House and Senate leaders and determine the make-up of the chambers’ committees for the next two years.

When I was growing up, church offering envelopes had check-off boxes.  One of them was “Daily Bible Reading.”  My generation was encouraged to do it all: check all the boxes, and score 100 percent for the week.
I was  normally a 100 percent guy each week.  I may have struggled with some of those boxes, but I got the Bible reading done. Though I confess that on some days I was so busy that the best I could do was a hurried glance, a fast read... but better fast than not at all, right?

If I ever found myself foolish enough to think I would stick with a resolution for a year, I would steal my dogs’ wisdom.

We have a weimaraner and labrador mixed dog her name is Tilly and a beagle mixed with what we think is a blue healer named Henry. Henry looks very much like Snoopy and makes similar sounds as the Peanuts character with a custom for snorting when you directly ask him questions.

These two beasts are mentally superior and I have a lot to learn from them.
