It's been almost a year since my last post and what a year 2020 has been. It would be an understatement to write that it's been eventful but that's what I'm going with. There are a multitude of reasons that I haven't written, but more than a few that bring me back to the keyboard. Not the least of which is a package my grandma (paternal) sent me the other day. My grandpa (maternal) was an editor and columnist for the Flint Journal for many years. He passed away when I was just a couple years old, so my best way of getting to know him has been through the saved columns. A while back someone in the family (there are many suspects to choose from if you know the McHale family) got the idea to put together a sort of "greatest hits" collection of his columns and turn it into a book. I've owned a copy for years now and have read through it more than a couple times. That's how I've come to know Grandpa Terry and even my mom, aunts, and uncles
