Yes and no. But I will say, my new role of being an editor takes up a lot of my time. No, I didn’t say it wastes my time. That’s mainly because what I edit is interesting to me. Yes, your stories interest me, and I want to tell them in the best way possible […]
I don’t know any other way to put it or express how lucky I am to be the beneficiary of it. Yes, I’ve heard luck is the result of hard work. And I’d be hard-pressed to argue with myself I haven’t put in the work in the success of your favorite newspaper. I certainly have. […]
As you might have read on this website, one random number 30 relates to the years in business the Business Times is celebrating. But this column isn’t about that. No, this column is about the numbers Phil Castle made clear he didn’t want to publish a story about. For the first time in 24 years […]
Many will read this and think, “Sounds like Craig needs to cunningly wax philosophic to extricate himself from a deplorable situation.” And while I used a similar line in referring to Barabas (oh, those old playwrights and their symbolism) in Marlowe’s, “The Jew of Malta” for a term paper more than 40 years ago, this […]
Just two short weeks ago, I did. And I recommend it for anyone considering the journey home. My other recommendation: Don’t wait until you’ve looked death in the face to do it. That was my journey last summer. It’s also the reason I booked the trip the second I saw the post from one of […]
Yeah, I’m going to complain about the new Grand Junction High School. And yes, I’m still going to be silly enough to believe presenting the thoughts I’ve put into ink on paper for the past two decades will be read and absorbed by folks who’re already screaming talking points at me for how wrong I […]
Yes, I know it goes, “John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in the grave …” from the top 10 hit from the 1860s. But for you progressives reading this, it’s a play on words. I also know someone wrote a neat book back in the day about how Democrats and Bill Clinton treated his old Commerce […]
If you followed my columns the past few editions, you probably noticed my steadfast opposition to JJ Fletcher challenging Mesa County Commissioner Janet Rowland in the primary based on the principle the Republican Party supports incumbents in elections. After all, the Republican Party supports incumbent presidents, senators, congresspeople — even someone undeserving, like Lauren Boebert […]
I really thought my last column would be the last column on the silliness of the Colorado Republican party and the candidates they continue to foist upon us. But just like believing I could write a whole column with no sarcasm, it’s simply foolish to think that in the world of politics. Frankly, I liked […]
I’ve started columns many times in the past by writing, “I don’t know what to write about.” This time I know what to write about, I just don’t want to. But I have to. And Mesa County Republicans made me do it. First up, let me explain to Mesa County Republicans — and JJ Fletcher, […]
