Today I was reminded how small the community is we work in.
First I read Daniel Sato’s blog and one of his recent posts where he talks about the same idea of this small community. He happens to be interning in Saint Cloud, MN. The paper I delivered as a kid. (Nothin beat the days my [...]

Hung out with a babysitter the other day for a story on tweens. Tweens if you didn’t know are kids that are at the in-between stage of being a kid and a teenager. My vote is to stay a kid as long as possible. How could you possibly go wrong with afternoons filled with Scooby [...]

The daily grind.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
Being back in school it’s easy to forget about daily deadlines, but yesterday served as a reminder of what they’re all about. I only had two assignments, a pet blessing and a tennis match.

The first week comes to a close.
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under Uncategorized
On Friday I closed out my first week here at Roanoke by heading to the Natural History Museum in Martinsville. The week flew by and if it’s any indication of the rest of my summer it’ll be over before I blink. I had the day off on Saturday and did normal things. (grocery shopping, laundry, [...]
