5 Things to Know for a Better Wednesday

Fear not fans of Twinsburg Patch. After quite the siesta, I am back and ready for action. Hopefully you didn't miss me too much, but I was enjoying the beatiful beaches in Mexico for a week.

But here we are, back in Ohio and ready to get back to what I do best, and that's covering the amazing town of Twinsburg, giving you the news you need to know.

Here are 5 things for a better Wednesday, and a great first day back, for me at least:

1. Did you have a blast this weekend at the Twins Days Festival? I'm sad I missed it and . Feel free to upload them yourself and share your double-vision.

2. Did you know ... On this day in 1846, English scientist James Smithson left his entire estate, including incredible scientific artifacts, to the United States, which created the Smithsonian Institution. Look it up.

3. Techtron Systems, a detailed electronics manufacturer, will be by the end of the year. The company employs 62 people and hopes to add another 105 by 2014, according to Solon Patch.

4. Do you have something you want to say? Become a blogger for Twinsburg Patch and share your voice with the world (or at least the city). Email Editor Mitch Cooper for more information.

5. I love this quote from John Wooden today: "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
