Body One month from now, we will celebrate the graduation of our middle kid, Catelyn, from high school. I posted her announcement on Facebook in case we forgot someone, which we probably did. Several people commented on the post, including my classmate, Becky.

Body By Bob Simmons, CEO, Simmons Multimedia To recap last week’s column - it’s the early 1980s. I was a wacky radio morning man debuting my ‘adult’ standup comedy act as Ernie the Three-Legged Clown at a strip club, car broken, borrowed dad’s Volkswagen Beetle to get to the gig.

Body It’s 78 degrees as I write today’s short column. The white sandy beaches lured me to Clearwater, Florida, for a week of relaxation and shenanigans.

Body So how about that little taste of summer we got over the weekend?! That was lovely, and I can’t wait for more of it in the near future. I even turned the heat off at my house for the weekend and didn’t freeze.

Body It’s been another beautiful and brisk week here in the Borderland region. I’m happy to report that plenty of my flowers are sprouting (indoors, of course), and I’m proud of the assortment I should have ready for my front yard.
