Just finished reading every Around Adair

By Linda Waggener

Thank you, Rita Marshall, for letting me know you'd just finished reading all of Ed's Around Adair columns. We agree, if you are from somewhere else, Around Adair gives a good glimpse of the people and their daily lives here in the 70s.

There are over 80 articles in that heading in the Columbia Magazine archives. Marie Finn worked with him at the newspaper office then and carefully clipped and saved each column. Our oldest son Pen and daughter-in-law Amy put them all on the computer as a gift. We all encouraged Ed to publish them in a book but he was happy with them to remain just as they are, free to the world with no subscription cost.

Appreciating other places and cultures

By Linda Waggener

Thanks to my friend Elena's share of pictures from Mexico, I'm appreciating the culture even more by singing along to a favorite song, Fuiste Tu, discovered on DuoBroadband's cable Spanish music channel last year. Now that I've had to let go of cable I'm learning streaming and find the song on YouTube.

I really liked the sweet harmony in Fuiste Tu even though I had no idea what the words meant, just made the assumption it was a love song. Then with her help I learned the singers were singing at each other, "It was You - your fault, no it was you - your fault, etc, etc." I still really like the song only now it makes me laugh. Here's to learning something new every day and appreciating each other's cultures.

Data Privacy Day - January 28, 2024

Data Privacy Day on January 28th is the little nudge we need at the beginning of each new year to make safeguarding our personal information a priority.

Although we live in an increasingly digital world, most of us give little thought to data privacy until after our personal data has been compromised. Our increased reliance on digital technologies to manage every facet of life necessitates the need to rethink what we share about ourselves, when and where we share it, and who we are sharing it with.

Data Privacy Day is part of the global online safety, security, and privacy campaign called
'STOP. THINK. CONNECT.'
