EDITORIAL

From the EDITOR

You don’t know what we will find, why don’t you come with me Little Girl on a magic carpet ride.

Fifteen years ago, when Judy and I first started working on the idea of publishing a magazine, we would become so excited just talking about it with each other, stewing over it, and trying to figure out a positive answer for anything negative that someone would say. Big chore!

Little did we realize that after the release of the first issue we would receive a total of 48 emails/phone calls. Out of this 48, we had two negative statements. We spent hours proofing our articles and still had grammar mistakes. Get ready, because I will have more in the future. The second negative statement to us, was from a business owner complaining that we did not call him for an ad. So, Thank you for the past 15 years! And rest assured there will be more mistakes. You would never believe all the new friends I have made in this short time of publishing The Corridor Magazine, from Arcadia to Sapulpa, and Stillwater to Prague!

Recently, I attended the Payne County Fair in Stillwater and had a great time. At least I think I had a really great time; you know with the dementia I can remember things from 50 years ago but not what I did five minutes ago. No, this old man did not ride the rides, but I do recall monkeying around and playing with the pink pigs. I may have thrown a few hoops and schooled a carney on baseball toss, can I say carney? Is that politically correct?? I have my doubts about politics these days so forgive me for any offense my mind may cause.

You don’t know what we can see, why don’t you tell your dreams to me. Fantasy will set free. As sung by Steppenwolf in Magic Carpet Ride.
