Normally, I walk up the stairs to my fifth floor office in my six-story building. Yesterday, they were painting the stairwell so I took the elevator. I got on with three other people which is crowded for our facility. Buttons for floors four, five and six were immediately pressed. We then proceeded to stop on […]

Downtown Atlanta on Saturday night, Moms and Dads everywhere, waiting mainly for their daughters, most dressed in cowgirl boots and short skirts, bubbly appearing from watching Taylor Swift in concert, buoyed with big smiles, souvenir posters and a general air of refreshing happiness, joy and wholesomeness rarely seen in our slightly depressed city coping with […]

Up early (what else is new), ready to play nine at Chastain before sunrise, with the hint of cool Fall weather calling me out to shoot the early morning, back nine course record at my neighborhood golf course. If things go well this morning, I was thinking of slipping over to East Lake, the home […]

If the US had prevailed and these great American athletes had been celebrated on TV, print […]

Neither the bang-bang, back-to-back, bad news of last Thursday’s 500-point stock market plunge followed by Friday’s historic downgrading of the United States credit rating succeeded in taking my breath away more so than my Saturday’s spin on “Leap of Faith”, the signature water slide at the supersized Bahamian resort, Atlantis, where I just spent a […]

For those invested in the stock market or who care about our country’s reputation worldwide, the anticipation this weekend for a breakthrough in the debt ceiling negotiations was palpable.

Late night blogging while watching the Braves; Saw two interesting stories in the paper Thursday. First, front page of New York Times on who has better tasting peaches, Georgia or South Carolina.

I have come to the realization that the penny, long a stable of the U.S. monetary system, has reached the end of its useful life and should be retired alongside the Space Shuttle, Pontiacs and other great American inventions.

Traveling is taking its writing toll on your dedicated blogger. My flow is broken, the heat is high and general laziness has overtaken your overworked and underpaid scribe. I also don’t have my newspapers spread all over the place and frankly, I am tired of the debt ceiling, sick of both parties and nauseous from […]
