I know I’m over my post quota today. At least there will only be one more week of the endless “my baby is graduating” posts to ignore. Today, to everyone’s surprise, Tommy was awarded Bearden High School’s Achiever Award. It comes with a scholarship. As if I needed an excuse to cry. Again. The paragraph […]

Right out of the starting gate our new superintendent is either drawing a line in the sand or not aware of the rules of small town, southern politics. I suspect it’s the latter. Knoxville has several charming, diamond-in-the-rough schools inside the city, but he chose a safe, easy school. Choosing a school in a financially […]
There are people I consider my friend because of blogging. It is what brought us together, but it isn’t what tears us apart. We are not friends because we agree on everything.
