I have been out of town for a couple of weeks since the start of November and have not written a column recently, so I suppose it is time for me to catch up.

Just after the Veterans Day ceremony on the courthouse lawn on November 11th, the Mason 4th graders hosted veterans at a hotdog luncheon.

"Thank you for serving our country.
It's Sometimes a Steep Learning Curve
I like to think of myself as being technically savvy about all types of devices - phones, tablets, PCs, etc. Over the years, as technology has advanced at an ever-increasing pace, I've always tried to maintain my knowledge of new hardware, software and all types of gadgets.
Make no mistake, I'm definitely partial to some things over others.
