It has been a good friend for years, staying with me during ups and downs, never passing judgement. It gets stepped on a lot, but never complains and just powers ahead, providing feedback and inspiration as needed. But a few weeks, during the height of the election, it went dark. It refused to count. Perhaps, […]

Like communities nationwide, Atlanta faces a renewal of civic activism related to race, inequality, and justice. Triggered by police brutality and negligence, an anger and frustration that has been simmering just under the surface has rightfully spilled out on our streets, leading to much needed discussions on how to create a more inclusive and just […]

Everyone knows, the world is a bit crazy right now. We need to look for little things to brighten our mood, keep optimistic, and be a good steward of our homes, our communities, and our planet. I just received a request that fulfills many of these objectives: my fancy schmancy country club just asked for […]

Founded by a four-man team all in the thirties, this moonshot […]

I played in the senior handicapped golf club championship at my fancy-schmancy club this weekend. I put down my bad right hip on the tournament application and after a short doctor’s consultation was of course immediately accepted. While none of this is true, except for the fact that I did finish in the money, […]

The “Pretty Colors For Your Actions” tour rolls into Atlanta today and a portion of the processional rolled right through our front door at 3AM this morning. Old Sea Brigade, my son’s band providing support for the wicked good tour headliner Tall Heights out of Boston, is using our house as Motel 6 for this […]

Summer is here and the joy of going out for ice cream takes center stage once again. I have developed a sweet tooth for Zesto which serves a beautifully tasting–light and airy–soft vanilla similar to the more well-known Carvel (founded in Hartsdale, NY, for those curious), and dispensed as you would expect in cones, waffle […]

Spring training is just around the corner. I’ve always loved this time of year: winter is getting a bit long in the tooth and spring hopes eternal as pitchers and catchers report to camp and all teams remain in the World Series running. I was quite a baseball player back in the day at […]

The always informative and fun networking bonanza known as Venture Atlanta had its annual conference last week at the still relatively new College Football Hall of Fame, where you can watch pitches from our region’s most promising startups while sitting, not kneeling, under the lights on the hash marks of a makeshift football field in […]
