Cleveland Scene pays birthday tribute to Regina

Regina Brett got a birthday gift today from the Cleveland Scene which seems to relish the “usually nasty” adjective used to describe it. Last week was Regina’s “Big 50" birthday

Jared Klaus wrote a piece today titled “Fifty Reasons I Can't Read Regina Brett” for the Scene’s C-Notes blog. Klaus wrote four nasty paragraphs but then reprinted the “45 Life Lessons, and 5 to Grow On.” from PD Extra, a Plain Dealer weblog. The 45 lessons were in a column Regina wrote five years ago. It incidentally is one of her most-requested columns.

Says Klaus: At least this time, Plain Dealer editors had the foresight to throw it on the blog instead of in the paper.

This blog herewith presents only the top 5:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
