Millennium Dreams

by Lisa Snider December 29, 2006

Okay, this isn’t a story about our Ojai Post author, Millennium Twain! This is the title I gave the story two years ago when it was first published. It’s a short work of fiction (sort of) that I thought was timely. How do you plan to ring in 2007?

Oldies vs. Newbies – The Debate Rages On!

by Lisa Snider December 20, 2006

Tonight on Radio Ojai, my friend Matt and I finally touched on a topic that everyone here has a strong opinion about. Any way you slice it, it seems to bring little to the table except divisiveness and at times bitter disagreement. It’s a controversial subject tackled by yours truly,…
