Tom Anselm’s Anti-Bucket List

Anti-Bucket List Works Better for Me

  So how are you doing with those New Year’s resolutions? I resolved not to make any resolutions, and I haven’t broken it yet. Old joke, I know, but still a good one. Along with resolutions, people who are facing their own mortality have had a tendency in recent years to write a “bucket list”, you know, stuff you must do before you kick that old container.

Despite all the Changes, Catholic Education Continues to Thrive

North County Catholic Schools Rebound After Consolidation

By Tom Anselm

Back in the early 1950s, our fair neighborhood boasted a large number of Catholic schools.   In this week’s edition, we feature many of such educational institutions that have taken on the challenge of faith-based education in a changing population.   Just as people came from the city in the mid-twentieth century to settle the farmlands north of Interstate 70, so many more have moved across the great divide of the Missouri River to points west, almost to the point of making the Greater St. Louis area a suburb of Columbia, MO.

If Not Jeff Fisher, How ’bout John Gudun? Rams Need an Angry Coach

by Randy Gardner

First off, Happy 2012. I hope this year is wonderful to everyone out there, I think we all deserve it. As we all know, it was a terrible year for the Rams but it all came to a screeching halt on Sunday with a loss to the 49ers at Home.

Eating In Was a Much Better Option For the Dining Divas in December

by Lisa Kampeter

Another year has passed us by, and what a year it has been for the Dining Divas!  Through the many Diva years, I’ve downplayed any mishaps that we experienced at our restaurant choices.  I would hate for someone not to try out a place because of my silly issues or dislikes.  I tend to believe in second chances.  The one time my entire Dining Divas column was negative, I didn’t even mention the restaurant by its name.  I continue to believe that for us, it’s not about the food.  It’s about the camaraderie with our friends.

Opinions All Over the Place on Pujols Signing

By Randy Gardner

Wow, is all I can say since the last time. I don’t even have to say another word as we all know what I am talking about. It was like a bombshell that fell out of the sky as Albert Pujols signs with the Angels. I have so many opinions on this that it will almost sound like I am contradicting myself.
