Cavender   Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services spokesperson, Tim Cavender, was recognized for his nearly 20 years of service to the department at a retirement luncheon.

Opponents of the agreement argued that Georgia Power should have some “skin in the game” and be required to share some of the costs to motivate it to control fuel costs. They also called for the fuel-cost recovery period to be extended from 36 months to 60 months to spread out the costs. The commission is due to vote on the agreement next week.   Story 3:   Cherokee Office of Economic Development President and CEO, Misti Martin, has been recognized with the 2023 Superintendent's Game Changer Award for Instructional Advocacy for her support of Cherokee County School District (CCSD) students.

Governor Brian Kemp praised the new standards for prioritizing learners, while State School Superintendent Richard Woods said they were "Georgia-owned and Georgia-grown, clear, and developmentally appropriate standards for Georgia students."

After a tight first quarter between River Ridge and Blessed Trinity, the Knights made a change to their defensive approach and took off from there in Friday night's 65-47 second-round Class AAAAAA playoff win. The score was knotted at 11-11 through the first eight minutes, with River Ridge coming out in a press. The Titans were able to break it, though, and with their potent guard play, quickly move down the court and score. River Ridge changed its approach in the second quarter and outscored Blessed Trinity 16-2 going into halftime. River Ridge will face off against Marist in the Elite 8 after the War Eagles jumped on Tift County 61-37. Marist beat Blessed Trinity 49-34 earlier this season. In other girls' playoff action, Sequoyah pulled off the rare feat of sweeping a non-region foe in three games when they beat North Forsyth on Friday. Sequoyah jumped out to a 10-0 lead after bringing defensive pressure, forcing turnovers and scoring in those transition opportunities. The Chiefs took care of the ball on their end and knocked down shots. Sayler Davies hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first half, and Addison Ghorley connected on another. With the raucous Raiders' crowd, Sequoyah had to nullify its impact. After falling to Woodstock in the Region 6AAAAAA championship, Sequoyah has now won three straight games, with the last two coming by double digits. The Chiefs will meet Brunswick in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night. The Pirates defeated Woodward Academy in Round 2. With a hobbled Dastin Hart and a substantial size disadvantage, Cherokee's defense rose to the challenge in Saturday's 73-58 home playoff win over Berkmar, sending the Warriors to the Class AAAAAA Elite 8. Cherokee's shooters caught fire early, with Tayden Owens connecting on two straight 3-pointers to start the night. Berkmar went to Mekhi Ragland early in the paint, but the Warriors defended him well throughout the night and denied easy entry passes. Owens was the game's leading scorer with 26 points, followed closely by his backcourt running mate Cameron Pope, who finished at 22 points. Lawrence Sanford pitched in 15 points off the bench. Cherokee moves on to face Carrollton in Round 2, which defeated Parkview 58-56 on Saturday. Top of Form In other boys' basketball action, Etowah coach Jason Dasinger said the first half of Saturday night's high school basketball playoff game was on him. He let the players take over the second half, and that propelled to a 59-42 victory over Pope in the second round of the Class AAAAAA tournament. Aiden Weaver led a trio of Eagles players in double-digits with 16 points. Mason Etter and Brandon Rechsteiner added 15 points apiece. Sixth-ranked Etowah (21-8) moves on to the quarterfinals and will play at No. 2 St. Pius X on Wednesday in Chamblee. St. Pius X beat Lakeside-Evans 62-57 on Saturday. The Magistrate Court of Cherokee County has received a Judicial Excellence Award for Clearance Rate Excellence. The magistrate court received the award Jan. 25 for the 2021 calendar year, the court announced. This marks the fourth year the Cherokee County Magistrate Court has earned the award. The award is presented annually by the Administrative Office of the Courts' Standing Committee on Judicial Workload Assessment to the top 10% of counties in terms of clearance rate (16 counties out of 159). A clearance rate of 100% or greater demonstrates that the court is keeping up with its caseload. Deputy Clerk Elaine Ellis added that “it is truly amazing to see what can be accomplished when a team works together to achieve a common goal.” A former Woodstock High School teacher will serve three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to touching and groping six underage high school students, the Cherokee County District Attorney's Office announced. Ryan Parker McKendrick, 40, entered a negotiated guilty plea to nine counts of sexual assault of a student Feb. 9. Senior Judge C.J. Gober Jr. sentenced McKendrick to 20 years, with the first three years to serve in prison and the rest on probation. Upon probation, he will be under sex offender special conditions, and is forbidden to have contact with the victims or minors under the age of 18. In September 2018, administrators at the school became aware of a text conversation involving McKendrick and two female students that led to an investigation. McKendrick had been the school's chorus teacher since 2007. Investigators with Cherokee County School Police and Cherokee Sheriff's Office determined that many students had experienced similar behavior from McKendrick, prosecutors said. Eight of the victims delivered impact statements at the plea hearing, describing the abuse as traumatizing and a betrayal of trust, according to the district attorney's office. They said they continue to feel self-doubt and insecurity, and they struggle to trust anyone, especially those in positions of authority. Victims said they were relieved that the defendant admitted to the charges by pleading guilty. Holly Springs residents will soon see new playground equipment, as well as a dog park when visiting Barrett Park later this year. The Holly Springs City Council unanimously approved a $16,323 professional design service fee for improvements to Barrett Park Thursday to BM&K Inc. Another design service fee for $12,123 to the same company was approved for maintenance to the Barrett Springs detention pond. Improvements to the park include replacing the current playground equipment with new equipment, as well as replacing the basketball goal and improving the court. The city also plans to add an off-leash dog park, closed in with a chain length fence and connected to water to accommodate canine watering stations. The off-leash dog park will be inside the park on the west side of the gazebo, Holly Springs City Manager Rob Logan said Friday. The project also includes installing drains at the playground and refreshing the site with play-safe mulch, constructing a closed stormwater system from the east boundary of the park to the creek, and resurfacing and striping the parking lot along with the entrance road. BM&K will provide demo plans, a grading plan, drainage design, utility sheet and erosion control, according to city documents. Sequoyah-Con, a three-part miniature convention series hosted by the Sequoyah Regional Library system, will be held at area libraries on March 4, 11 and 18. Two of the three events will be at Cherokee County locations: the R.T. Jones Memorial Library in Canton and the Woodstock Public Library in Woodstock. The conventions are free to participate in and are open to all ages. March 4, the R.T.

This is our first collaborative episode. I am very excited to share my discussion with Rev. Katie O'Dunne. She is an ordained minister, OCD champion herself, and a strong advocate for OCD and evidence-based treatment. We tackle all the topics of mental health and spirituality, including medications, missed diagnoses in faith and culture, how OCD can look like a "devout" religious practice, and more! Bio: Rev. Katie O'Dunne is the founder of Faith & Mental Health Integrative Services, an organization helping individuals with OCD and related disorders live into their faith traditions as they navigate evidence-based treatment. Prior to this, she spent 7 years serving as the Academy Chaplain and the Pauline and R.L. Brand Jr. '35 Chair of Religious Studies at Woodward Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

"How do you know I don't have to pray 50x a day in this particular way in order for my family not to die in a fire? Well, I don't, but we're goingt o take the chance that this is OCD and we're going to take the chance that we know that God is a loving God, and we're going to lean into that."Contrary to popular misconception, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is not just about cleaning and organizing; OCD is often a very debilitating "doubting disorder" that tries to convince folks they are bad or terrible people.It often deeply affects those with a faith life who develop compulsions that center around needing to behave, pray, or practice faith in a certain way for God to be happy with them, or for their loved ones to be safe. It can be a fine line for faith practitioners to navigate, but as our guest today says, "OCD tends to be when someone is engaging in a faith practice out of fear and the faith piece actually comes out when they're engaging in it because it brings meaning, because it brings hope."Rev. Katie O'Dunne lives with OCD and speaks with us today about her own journey through treatment and how it has impacted her faith. She is an advocate for those who suffer silently, helping countless folks find pathways towards treatment, healing, and faith, so they can find a fulfilling and healthy spiritual life, and life in general.About Katie:Rev.

Founder of Right Hand Music Group and Co-Founder of Keep Cool Records Courtney Stewart joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss representing Grammy-winning artists and popular R&B trends. Stewart joins host Carol Morgan on the Around Atlanta segment and shares the inspiration behind Right Hand Foundation. An Atlanta native, Stewart shared how proud he is to see “Hotlanta” grow through the years and expand into the thriving metro center it is today. With fond memories centered around the 1996 Olympics, Georgia Tech and Coca-Cola, Atlanta has grown into a unique city filled with diversity and economic growth in Stewart's eyes. “[Atlanta] has this flourishing sense of community going back to the Civil Rights Movement,” Stewart said. “The deep culture and roots that Atlanta has had made it such an incredible city. I'm proud to call Atlanta home.” Always a creative kid, Stewart attended North Atlanta High and participated in the performing arts program. Exposed to the early Atlanta music scene powered by Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri and Organized Noize, he was inspired by the early development of the Atlanta music community. This allowed Stewart to be a fly on the wall around groups such as OutKast, TLC and Goodie Mob, all under the banner of Organized Noize. Encouraged by the idea of having a platform to sign and develop artists that bring a left-of-center approach to the table, Stewart founded Right Hand Music Group in 2005 and currently represents Grammy-winning artist Khalid. Stewart shared that he has represented Khalid from day one, watching him directly connect with Gen Z through his powerful songs and relatable lyrics.  “My experience being in the business for 15-plus years and his youthfulness and just God-given talent is a perfect combination to be able to balance one another,” Stewart said. On the Right Hand Music Group side, Stewart also represents London-born Sinead Harnett and Marco McKinnis, among others. Stewart and his team place great importance on discovering an artist early to put the necessary time and development behind their craft. In partnership with RCA Records, Keep Cool Records represents Normani, recent Grammy-winner Lucky Daye and many other flourishing artists. Taking the world by storm, TikTok is lighting a fire behind many popular R&B trends, acting as the epicenter of how artists and people connect, reconnect and stay in touch. What's hot from a trend standpoint is more than likely going to become popular on TikTok and follow a domino effect, influencing other social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.  “The more popular genres – pop music, rap music, R&B music – a lot of that is really coming from TikTok because those are the popular genres that a lot of the youth are listening to,” Stewart said. Launched on Stewart's birthday in 2015, Right Hand Foundation began when he organically connected with Stephanie Ford as she was assisting motels and extended stay hotels that were dealing with increased crime and drug activity. Stewart volunteered with Ford for a few months and was deeply affected by the people and stories he came across. Inspired, Stewart founded Right Hand Foundation to provide resources to aid individuals trying to get back on their feet. The foundation offers free housing for single mothers with children for one year in turnkey single-family units. The first Right Hand Foundation property is in historic College Park near Woodward Academy, supplying a sense of community and opportunity for adaptability to residents. While there, all individuals must participate in the program, taking advantage of counseling that touches on mental health, literacy, financial independence and more.  “We prepare them for independent sustainability,” Stewart said. Right Hand Foundation maintains relationships with apartment complexes and housing developments, utilizing its connections to place program participants in permanent housing and ...

What a privilege to find this in the archives.   Rabbi Scott lost a battle with Covid and is now in the arms of Yeshua.   Here is a post from his obituary:Rabbi Scott Sekulow of Chicago, Illinois, a Sr Rabbi at Congregation Beth Adonai has passed away August 12, 2021, he studied at Beulah Heights University after he went to Woodward Academy and Mercer University Atlanta.Rabbi Scott's wife, Judy Burnham Sekulow had recently stated on her Facebook post that her husband was hospitalized due to covid pneumonia.Rabbi Scott Sekulow will be dearly missed by family and the Beth Adonai community. Our thoughts are with everyone who knew him.”…… great sadness I wanted to let our community know of the departure of the Tzaddik from the world. Rabbi Scott Sekulow, a true son of Israel.

Given the current climate in which we live, it was refreshing and inspiring to have a chat with Patrice Lindo, my classmate from Woodward Academy, c/o 1990. She has blossomed into an astute business woman, who had a wealth of knowledge to share on how to maximize your potential as an executive or entrepreneur. She's also a happily married wife and mother of three daughters. Her advice on how she balances her marriage and business while working from home is something that everyone should take note of.

Anyone who's been involved in athletics at any level—professional, college, recreational, or those older individual with the reoccurring aches and pains of general living—appreciates the benefits of over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAID's), or the prescription version, as first-line pharmaceutical drugs to treat pain and localized inflammation—under physician guidance.These medications inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are responsible for the discomfort associated with overuse issues.Like a financial statement, which lists both assets and liabilities, NSAID's have their own negative aspects, when overused. Those complications, with chronic or overuse, may include cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure, especially with high-risk people.As it pertains to a higher risk population—like American-style football (ASF) athletes of larger sizes, such as the offensive and defensive linemen, retired ASF players, and those ASF players with numerous orthopedic injuries in their medical history, all who later in life may have a higher incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease—NSAID use may be contraindicated.According to Nonsteroidal Ant-Inflammatory Drugs and Cardiovascular Risk in American Football, which appeared in the December 2020 issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, “ASF participation is associated with the development of early hypertension and acquired pathologic CV phenotypes—all associated with significant weight gain. Epidemiologic data also suggest increased CV mortality among retired professional ASF athletes, who had the largest playing time body mass index (BMI).There are still uncertainties, as it pertains to habitual NSAID use and increased CV risk in AFS.Researchers from Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Woodward Academy in Atlanta, and the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, “sought to characterize NSAID use patterns and the association with cardiovascular risk in a diverse cohort of high school and collegiate ASF athletes.”The testing group of young athletes included a total of 226 ASF players, 60 endurance athletes, and 63 nonathletic controls, who were studied pre and postseason. Echocardiography, vascular applanation tonometry, and clinical data assessment were obtained. Qualitative NSAID use throughout the season was recorded at postseason.It was determined that, “within a large cohort of combined HS and collegiate ASF athletes, habitual NSAID use was more common among those with established CV risk factors, and importantly, increased weight across the ASF season was associated with an increased frequency of NSAID use.”The researchers also said, “second, and just as concerning within this diverse ASF cohort, sport-related ASF NSAID use more commonly began early, in middle school, before full physical maturation.”It was concluded that, “our data suggest that increased weight, a critical pathologic factor linking early ASF-associated CV risk with adverse long-term outcomes, is also associated with increased NSAID use during competitive ASF training.”“Taken together, commented the researchers, “we believe that our findings provide compelling rationale that habitual NSAID use may adversely affect CV risk among competitive ASF athletes and should therefore be considered in the CV risk stratification of high-risk ASF athletes.”As with any medication—prescription or over-the-counter—it's best to be used under the guidance of your personal physician, in order to avoid potential contraindications or complications.

Jason  is a native of Uptown New Orleans, graduated from the prestigious Woodward Academy in College Park, GA – formerly the Georgia Military Academy – and entered Tulane University where he earned a full football scholarship before matriculating to Tulane Law School. While at Tulane Law School, he was presented with the prestigious Order of Barristers honor and he began practicing law at Criminal District Court through the law school’s clinic program, even though still a student. After graduation in 1997, Williams worked with the law firms of Gertler, Gertler, Vincent, and Plotkin, and Spears & Spears, but within two years, he started his own practice and quickly gained a reputation as one of the fiercest trial attorneys in the City of New Orleans. After winning a series of high profile criminal cases, Williams was appointed to serve as a State court Judge at Criminal District Court by the Louisiana Supreme Court, making him the youngest district judge in the City’s history. After his tenure as Judge, Williams returned to his vigorous practice of handling a variety of high profile cases in state and federal courts. Year after year, Williams’ tireless efforts on behalf of the accused resulted in wins for clients that a less determined advocate would have certainly attempted to plead out. His ability to take and win “unwinnable” criminal cases continued to result in not guilty verdicts in many highly publicized trials. Williams also worked to exonerate and free the wrongfully convicted through his pro-bono work with the Innocence Project, including State v. Greg Bright and State v. Earl Truvier. In addition, Williams also served on the Louisiana State Indigent defender Board’s Director Selection Committee and has also worked as a Professor at Tulane Law School.

Jeff Ragan's found a new lease on life and in wrestling. On Episode 344 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Ragan who is coaching in Fargo with Team Georgia. During the high school season, he coaches at Woodward Academy in Georgia, one of the largest college prep schools in the nation, and according to Ragan, the largest in the Lower 48. Ragan, a longtime assistant at The Citadel before coming to the high school ranks, had one of his wrestlers reach the Cadet Finals on Monday. But the battles his wrestlers face haven't quite been the same as what he's battled. Ragan had a kidney transplant four years ago after going through two years of dialysis. He doesn't make a big thing of it, but it rubs off on the people around him, including Georgia coach Christian Flavin, who works with the Greco program in Georgia and wrestling club at Woodward.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-327 – Kyle & Brent Pease – Where there's a wheel there's a way!(Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4327.mp3]Link epi4327.mp3MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, my friends. Wherever and whenever this ghost of my voice finds you I hope you are well. Welcome to the RunRunLive podcast Episode 4-327. Today we have a great talk with Kyle and Brent Pease who are a team of brothers that run races. I think you'll dig their story and get a kick out of their running adventures. In the first section I'm going to talk a bit about flexibility and range of motion. In the second section I'm going to talk about Dr. Carol Dweck's book, “Mindsets”. …It's been a good couple weeks since we last chatted. I am recovered from my rolled ankle and running well. I've got a bit of a head cold today so I apologize for the sexy voice. I'm heading down to Atlanta this weekend, actually tomorrow, to run the Jeff Galloway half. It will be a good test race for me. I'm planning to go out at marathon pace, try to pace it well and close strong. Weather looks reasonable. It's a hilly course, but that's ok, I need the work and the practice. I raced the Mill Cities Relay last weekend. It's a 5-leg, invitation only, local club relay race. I was the captain of a senior team. The legs are all different lengths but there's one long one, leg 4, which is a 9.5 miles and that was my leg. We got perfect racing weather. It was mid-30's and sunny with no wind – so it ran warmer than the temperature. I raced in short shorts, a long sleeve tech with my club singlet over it, a fuzzy hat and light cotton gloves. I carried a bottle of UCan. Leg 4 is an entirely slight downhill route that follows the Merrimack River. It's additionally challenging because the leg before it is only 2.5 miles so you really don't have much time to warm up. You basically have to jump out of the car and go. My plan was to pace it at near my target marathon pace of 8 minute miles then close hard at the end to mimic a step-up or negative split. Me being me, instead I lit out like a cat with its tail on fire and was racing in the low 7's from the start. Once I got a couple miles in I managed to calm down a bit and came in with an overall average of 7:26 for the leg. I was happy with the time, because, like the Thanksgiving 5k it shows me that I have gotten some of my speed back. My legs were the constraint. I was hurting in the last couple miles with dead legs and wouldn't have made it much farther. Someone took a picture of me on the course and my form is crappy. In the picture I'm over-striding. My quads were dead and it wrecked my form. With this additional data point I've pivoted my workouts to longer tempo training away from the speed work. I got 2 more 9+ mile step-up runs in this week going into Sunday's race. I'll see how marathon pace feels on the legs for the half and that will give me a good idea of where I am. If all goes well I'll try to target a race in January to see if I can stretch it out to the full 42k. All good. I feel strong. The heart is hanging in there. …I drove up to Buffalo NY last week from where I live in Mass. It's interesting to drive through upstate NY and Western Mass. 100 years ago this area was the center of industry and commerce. Each valley has a town with a brick factory, a rail line and a court house, but there's not much industry anymore. I drove by the Erie Canal and many tumble-down farms and old buildings. It's not to say that the area is super depressed or a wasteland, it isn't. It just isn't industrial anymore. It's like a museum to the industrial age. But, when I see one of those finely crafted brick buildings in the landscape I see a person's dream. Someone had the dream and the persistence to put a factory there or a house or a barn. They dreamed big of a better future. They bet big on a big future. They took leaps of faith and built without knowing what was going to happen. I wonder where those people are today. Where are they that believe in growth and abundance? Who among us has the curiosity and drive to build something new on the landscape? Maybe it's me. Maybe it's you. On with the show.

He worked on designing disabled athlete friendly sports facilities in Acworth, GA before graduating in 2008 with a BS in Sports Management. Throughout his time at KSU, he was an active member and event coordinator for ABLE (Advocacy, Boldness, Leadership, and Empowerment), KSU's disabled student organization. Kyle was also a brother of KSU's Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. Kyle has worked as a liaison and an ambassador at a major grocery store chain and at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. Kyle enjoys competing in marathons and Ironman races with his older brother, Brent. With the mission of instilling hope and determination, Kyle wants to help people see the world from a different view. Through his accomplishments and speeches he hopes to provide a positive outlook and inspiration for individuals looking for motivation in their own lives. Kyle's message, though always delivered with a sense of humor, is heartfelt and inspired by his unique perspective of life. BRENT PEASE Brent, an avid sports fan, always enjoyed competing in sports as a child. It wasn't until he completed his first Irondistance race in 2010 that he and Kyle really enjoyed sports together. Since then he has gone on to complete six Ironman races and numerous 70.3 & Olympic distance races. Brent swam at Woodward Academy and graduated from Florida State University. Brent is multi-sport coach with Dynamo Multisport and is the Executive Director of the Kyle Pease Foundation. THE BROTHERS PEASE Together Kyle and Brent help other disabled athletes compete in the multisport & endurance world through their non-profit organization, The Kyle Pease Foundation. The Kyle Pease Foundation promotes success for young persons with disabilities by providing assistance to meet their individual needs through sports and competition. Programs include scholarship opportunities, adaptive sports equipment, and participating in educational campaigns around Cerebral Palsy. The Pease brothers have completed over 30 races together since 2011. Brent and Kyle recently completed their second 140.6 mile race together at Ironman Florida with a time of 13 hours, 38 minutes. In 2013, the Pease brothers completed their first iron-distance race at Ironman Wisconsin with a time of 15 hours, 9 minutes.Press October 2014: Pair of Brothers Compete in This Year's Ironman http://www.wjhg.com/home/headlines/Pair-Of-Brothers-Compete-In-This-Years-IRONMAN--281023582.html October 2014: Atlanta Brothers Aim to Make History http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/atlanta-brothers-aim-make-history-ironman-race/nhtRf/ July 2014: Pease brothers push through the AJC Peachtree Road Race together http://www.11alive.com/story/news/local/2014/07/02/kyle-pease-brent-brothers-peachtree/12026855/ Sept 2013: Pease Brothers Finish First Ironman Tri http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/23362269/pease-finish-ironmantri#ixzz2qDrQKVaEThe Kyle Pease Foundation 711 Cosmopolitan Dr #126 | Atlanta, GA 30324 | 404-822-2383Section two – Gratitude - http://runrunlive.com/gratitude-2Outro - Closing commentsMarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - http://www.marathonbq.com/qualify-for-the-boston-marathon-in-14-weeks/ That's it my friends you have successfully driven through the postindustrial landscape of Episode 4-327 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Keep an eye out for Kyle and Brent when you're out at races, say ‘hi'. I'm racing this weekend at the Galloway. Then I'm going to load up a couple cycles of high mileage to bulk up my distance on top pf my speed and tempo and with that, who knows? Maybe I'll be ready to requalify. It's a scary thing for me. Now that I find myself on the precipice again it scares me. But, you never know how a race is going to turn out until you stand on the starting line and take the test. I've got a guy recording the audio version of my MarathonBQ book. He does a podcast called the “Passerby” podcast which is about story telling. Remember if you stop getting the RunRunLive podcast every 2 weeks go into iTunes and re-subscribe to the new feed. …Last week. In addition to driving to Buffalo I was also on a plane in Alabama. When I got on the plane I mistakenly sat in the wrong seat. I knew I had an aisle seat, but I sat in D when I was supposed to be in C. This odd gentleman sits in the C seat and is looking at his ticket confusedly. He mumbles something about ‘I think you're in my seat'. I check my boarding pass and say ‘you're right – but it's the same seat if you just want to stay there'.He says ‘no' and he wants his seat. I'm like, ‘OK buddy, no problem' and we do the dosey-doe and swap aisle seats right next to each other. The other passengers are giving bemused smirks and ironically raised eyebrows. The thing is, now that I'm in my correct seat, the C seat there's an empty seat next to me. It's the only empty seat on the whole plane. Karma. I try to be super nice to people this time of year because everyone is so stressed out. If you follow me on social media you might notice that I don't jump on any of the hate and religion and politics stuff. It doesn't affect me one way or another what you are angry about. You see, I figure I can really only control my side of the relationship. And even if you are doing a really bad job of executing your side of the relationship by, let's say, being a dick, I still can only control my own thoughts and actions, and that's where I focus my energy. So as we stroll through the end of the year why don't you try to be the best customer that sales clerk has ever had? Why don't you try to be the partner that your loved ones deserve? Why don't you try to be that member of your community and society that holds up your end of the relationship? Because that's under your control. And while you're noodling that, I'll see you out there.
