Vintage pic of my daughter hanging out with Clif’s daughters. As I recall they were pretending to have a strawberry selling business. My girl, Emma, just turned 17! But I’m not going to say anything trite like how this seems like yesterday.
Here's a rare photo from Christmas break of 1985. This was taken at my dad & stepmom's first apartment together, off of Hamilton Road - the only picture I've seen from this place. That's my brother with the blonde hair, me in the Indians hat, Dad sitting there in the back.
Here’s me and my coworker Erin in the Bethel Road Kroger meat department, summer 1999.
Another season, another spectacular crash and burn. For my latest rant about OSU football (hardcore fans may wish to avoid), you can read more here:
Varsity Club on Lane Avenue. This pic’s only a few years old. One of just 5 campus bars I can think of that’s still left from the ‘90s.
A few random images along Henderson Road. For more you can visit my blog -

Voyage Ohio Magazine published a recent interview with me! I think I might even sound non-idiotic, for the most part! If you want to read my off-kilter warblings and questionable advice, click below:

Daily Inspiration: Meet Jason McGathey

A well-written review of one of my books!

I was also fortunate enough to contribute a guest post to the writing blog Armed With A Book, too, which you can find here: On History And Memoir

 

Oh yeah and someone once thought it was a good idea to interview me for a New York Times article about the economy. I can’t quite remember how the reporter even got my name. But still think the whole thing is pretty hilarious: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/22/business/economy/economics-survey-trump.html
