Paws Up at Stein Hospice

Stein Hospice is a great place. Stan Fischer and his dog Tiki volunteer at the hospice for a new pet therapy program called Paws Up. Sarah Weber wrote a great article on the subject.

SPORTS

During sporting events, my bag full of gear hangs on my shoulder and threatens to snap my collarbone in half. I'm probably the funniest looking thing on the sidelines and more entertaining to watch fumble with lenses than the high schooler's fumbling with the footballs. Anyway, it's not as bad as I thought it would be.


"You work for Fandy?"
"Yeah I work for the Register."
"So is that what you want to do when you grow up? Photography?"
"Yeah, but I'm kinda already grown up."
"Aren't you, like, 16?"
"No, I'm 20."
"Can I get your number?"
"Aren't you, like, 16?"

I don't hate shooting sports like I thought I did. I just hate the equipment making me look smaller than I really am.

Monica Rose

I had seen photos of Monica Rose around town, on bottles that collect money to help pay for her medical bills. But when I met her yesterday, I hadn't seen from those photos how gorgeous she is. Both the writer, Cory, and I were so impressed with how the 17-year-old held herself and how positive she was. She has been inspired by her nurses to work in the medical field and just by meeting her, I can tell this is a girl who will conquer whatever she wants, whether it be cancer or medical school.

A fundraiser for Monica will be held this Saturday from noon to 8pm at the Huron County Fairgrounds in Norwalk. To read more about Monica's story, Cory wrote a great article that also has information on how to donate if you are unable to attend Saturday. Here is the link.

Circus at the fair

Went to the Sandusky County Fair for the Register on Saturday. The circus was there.
