Fun story from reporter Christian Boone in today’s AJC on the imposter who infiltrated the Braves alumni game this past weekend. With comments like “he was very much out of shape” and “dude, you’ve really gone downhill fast”, one tips their cap to 50+, paunchy man who pulled off the ultimate fantasy camp: an all-expenses […]

Reading today’s (Saturday) AJC in the notes from the Hawks Locker Room, two stories caught my attention. If you combine the two, it really says a lot about the crazy last few seconds of the Hawks game 6 Thursday night against Boston.

Like everyone, I was saddened to hear of Whitney Houston’s passing at the young age of 48. Her untimely death got me thinking about my one and only encounter with Ms. Houston and it is a memory that has stuck with me. It was 1984 (I believe) and I was a young assignment editor in the New […]

While the Hawks couldn’t put the Heat away like they should have, losing eventually in triple overtime, the real focus of the contest was the good humor and free flowing basketball […]

Today is my first work day with the new iPhone 4S super-charged information appliance in my pocket. I readily admit that I keep talking to Miss “Siri” (she admonished me for spelling her name in full capital in my previous blog which I knew from Apple ads was incorrect but felt for clarity purposes it […]

Ok, it is January 2nd but it feels like New Year’s Day with the all the bowl games, the day off from work and the huge hangover that I am nursing (that last part’s not true, unfortunately). Out of respect for tradition and pretending I was out on the town this past weekend, I am […]

To my loyal reader(s), at this point, I am beyond excuses: I have abandoned you. It has just been a few months since I shared an original blog post here but it feels longer to me too; do I dare say I found a bigger and better outlet for some of my crafty writing (like my […]

I need to give credit where credit is due: the Atlanta Journal Constitution is one of the most improved newspapers anywhere. Over the past year or so, they have really stepped up their game, breaking hard news stories including the Atlanta school cheating scandal and other important stories that have had significant impact on our […]

25 Years of Poverty vs. Power By Bob Cramer 2:04 p.m. Friday, November 25, 2011 Occupy Atlanta was recently evicted from Woodruff Park, the Atlanta Housing Authority’s CEO was evicted from her job and the Task Force for the Homeless is perilously close to being evicted from its Peachtree-Pine building.
