The tech-newbie roller coaster ride with its rapid business pivots, hidden curves and unforeseen corners put people together on a Six Flags […]

I am hitting the highway headed for the lowcountry bright and early on this Thursday morning. With miles to travel before I sleep, I’m fueled up, packed full and heavy footed, ready to take the Genesis out on the Eisenhower Interstate, free to cut loose its 375 horsepower power train and put this South Korean […]

Michele Bachmann and I don’t see eye to eye on most things, but reports that she is a fellow migraine headache sufferer caused me to take a new look at the compassionate side of conservatism. “I feel your pain” is an appropriate response for this insipid neurological disorder that impacts 12% of the American population […]

The big city, here they come. I just dropped my oldest son, Ben, and his friend, Sean, at the airport for a three-day recording trip in New York City, my old hometown.

Having foolishly left my old school Mach 3 razor on a sink countertop somewhere, I decided to splurge and […]

The U.S. Women’s soccer team takes the field somewhere in Germany today within a hand ball’s length of a World Cup championship. Not too far away, in the much beleaguered European Union, a number of U.S. men golfers sit near the top as final round play commences at the British Open. Whether on the international front […]

Your dedicated blogger is tired. This daily blogging grind is taking its toll. With so much on my plate, usually more starch than vegetables, the loneliness of the everyday blogger is showing up everywhere. Family members are sick of hearing, “did you read my blog?” They want their kitchen table back. At my little Atlanta […]

To my faithful reader(s), one thing your loyal blogger values above all else is the truth, and nothing but the truth (and I am not talking about the new, controversial Direct TV ad with Tommy “The Truth” Thompson and a kid called “Half Truth”). I’m talking nothing but facts, Jack, and before I can say I […]

The air is full of activity this morning despite mid-July humidity and the threat of afternoon thunder bolts. Our President who usually has a youthful skip to his step reportedly lumbered out of his own meeting last night, deflated. Balls are in the air at The Open championships as we speak and that US women’s soccer team corner […]

It was so hot yesterday in Atlanta that when I left work to return to my Chastain Park home I made a wrong turn and before I could say traffic jam ended up in the north Georgia Mountains. I don’t know how you spell relief (Rolaids), but the cool air, green trees, the slower and […]
