Returning to the sunny side
By Denise Konkol
Sunday, Jun 14 2009, 02:47 PM
I'm a mom of a 13-year-old daughter, two golden retrievers and a 'foster' golden. I lean to the right, but I don't plan on making this blog about politics unless issues demand. I do plan on discussing those things that life throws at us, from the trivial to the troubling. My goal is also to keep things relevant by keeping them local, but like the politics thing, I may draw outside of those lines from time to time. I enjoy people and their stories, because we all have one, and look forward to sharing and hearing about more.

Switch hitting
By Jerry Church
Wednesday, Apr 29 2009, 05:04 PM
I am a 34-year-old father of a 4-year-old. I moved to Cudahy about seven years ago from Virginia where the days of southern hospitality and waving to your neighbors are not just something you hear about, it’s something you live.
I believe that a man’s word is the most important thing that you can have in your life, and that people should know you for keeping it. I am a very dedicated middle-of-the-road kind of person, I have very passionate feelings about both liberal and conservative points of view.
I believe what I believe and there is no Republican or Democrat label that fits me. That being said, I absolutely reserve the right to change my mind should I hear someone bring up a point of view that I had not thought of.
