I am a journalist for the Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau and host of “The Ohio Statehouse Scoop” podcast. I also teach comm classes at Ohio Wesleyan University. Posts I share on BlueSky are mine and are not sponsored by my employers.
Will Tim Ryan run for Governor of Ohio? Here is what his comms director, Dennis Willard, told me when I asked.

The Ohio State Fair opened today. Gov DeWine did a tour of the grounds this morning. He did a science experiment with kids at the COSI booth and got food at Schmidt’s midway restaurant. Here are some sights and sounds from the grand opening.

Protests are happening throughout Ohio today, including this one on all four corners of downtown Delaware, #Ohio.

I think it would be grand if the Ohio Statehouse cafeteria served Ohio chicken sandwiches. Would anyone else eat these if they were on the menu?

Happy New Year. Watching Rose Parade and the flowers on the anchor booth are GORGEOUS. Hoda says FTD furnished them but I have never ever seen flowers that beautiful from
FTD. Their flowers are usually very usual. But look at how pretty these flowers are!

Happy 2025. And go Bucks!

Anyone else noticing an unusual amount of #birds in #Ohio this winter? I wonder what is up with that.

This is the Redemption Tree at the Ohio Governor’s residence. Decorations are made by female inmates at one of the state’s prisons. The tree has a different theme each year. This year’s theme is “freedom.” Last year’s theme was books/Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Always an interesting tree.

During last night’s wind storm, we heard a loud banging sound at the side of our house. Turns out it was our downspout caught in the tree. Ugh. Hoping tonight is much quieter and calmer.

Our family went to see #Wicked at the movie theater last night and we LOVED it. Such a beautiful production. Even a couple of people in our group who had never seen the live performance of it loved the movie version. #Thanksgiving2024 #family

First night for the 2024 drive through light display at Lucy Depp Park in #Powell, #Ohio. Beautiful. Even better than previous years. Free of charge but donations are accepted for charity. I highly recommend it.

What’s everyone doing today? I am making my Mom’s spaghetti sauce with meatballs. Some to share. Some to freeze for Christmas dinner.

I married a Clark Griswold. And no, I did not do the drum roll when he lit the display.

Total truth.

Loving the fact that ESPN showed some of the #OSU band. Thanks to Kirk for suggesting they do it. Bands don’t get enough love. 🩷 Go Bucks!

You know it is officially winter in #Ohio when the girls break out the Uggs.

Waiting on coffee to brew. Boy, do I need it! I just picked up this Xmas tree remote instead of the Roku and couldn’t figure out why the dang thing wasn’t turning the tv on. Coffee, please hurry.

Spent the night jamming and listening to the sweet love songs performed by Chicago. That band is the soundtrack of my life (along w/ Earth Wind and Fire). What a great time! But does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
