I like talking politics with the brother who can’t vote. I don’t like blogging politics. I wish my brother blogged his political views. I wish his wife blogged her political experiences. I like Obama even though he is young and inexperienced. He has a good team, but I just don’t think he can handle the […]
Doug has a lot of “theories” of the tin-foil hat variety that he knows I ignore. He also has a very accurate grasp of the big picture when it comes to technology and those who use it. Bloggers usually falls under one of three style categories. WYSIWYG bloggers let it all hang out. They blog […]
TN bloggers are remembering Elvis today. Having spent the majority of my life in Memphis, I blogged all my good Elvis stories back in 2004.

Today is my father’s first birthday. He’s having dinner out with friends. At 4 in the afternoon! For his second birthday tomorrow, I think I’ll give him a lap blanket and a giant AM radio.
Tommy has a unique view of the world around him. He translates the actions of others into rules. He has his own set of rules for interacting with his world. We don’t consciously try to decipher his play book. Most of the people in our house have learned how to interact with Tommy. Tommy has […]
“Mom, when you lie down in the bathtub, they look flat, but when you sit up, they look full again.”
Katie speaks her mind. In the south, saying that you don’t hurt your children in the name of discipline causes people to foam at the mouth about not “sparing the rod” and God’s will. Have you ever seen the look on someone’s face when they slap, smack, swat, tap, spank or whatever they want to […]
