Today would’ve been Betty White’s 100th birthday if she was still alive. While most have said that they should donate local animal shelters and humane societies in her name, we should also remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as it’s his federally recognized day of recognition. Dr. King was born on Jan. 15 but bothContinue reading “Honoring Civil Rights Pioneers”

A Win For UGA Shouldn’t Be A Lost
While I’m glad the UGA Bulldogs won the National Championship in football to add to the World Series win for the Atlanta Braves, Georgia residents need to remain vigilant. A year ago, right before the Jan. 6 insurrection, both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, won the run-off elections to be the two Senators for theContinue reading “A Win For UGA Shouldn’t Be A Lost”
Bob Saget: TV Dad And Vulgar Comic, The Best Of Both Worlds
Just like anyone who had grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, hearing TV dad Bob Saget had passed away at the age of 65 was a gut-punch. As a widowed father having to raise three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law and friend, Full House was a high-concept gimmicky move that worked. TheContinue reading “Bob Saget: TV Dad And Vulgar Comic, The Best Of Both Worlds”
I’m Rooting For UGA To Win (But I’m Not A Fan)
Alabama is heading for another championship game in football. Does anyone even really care anymore? It’s like when Frasier was on the air. Odds were in its favor it would win the Emmy for Best Comedy Series. But this is the first time in about 41 years that UGA could win the championship.

Pope’s Comments Show The Generational Gap Remains Wide
Recently in the last week, Pope Francis went on the defensive after saying people need to start having kids rather than relying on pets as their children. This is another one of the many Christian rights, “Do as we say; not as we do” mantra that is turning more people away from all forms ofContinue reading “Pope’s Comments Show The Generational Gap Remains Wide”
Jan. 6, 2021: A Day That Will Live In Infamy
Benjamin Franklin was once asked, ” What do we have a republic or a monarchy?” He replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” A year ago today, millions if not billions all over the world watched as people stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in an attempt to stop the tabulations of the ballots forContinue reading “Jan. 6, 2021: A Day That Will Live In Infamy”
Thank You For Being A Friend
About eight years ago on this date, Jan. 1, my ex was in the hospital following the second of five spinal fusions she’d have over a period from November 2012 to January 2015. I woke up in the Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa after spending New Year’s Eve 2013. My immediate supervisor at the WagonerContinue reading “Thank You For Being A Friend”
Reach Out And Text Someone In 2022
Every now and again, when I’m out in public, I’ll see someone talking on the phone. And they don’t look happy. I don’t blame them. I don’t like getting phone calls myself. I liked the olden days when you could run to Wal-Mart or Walgreens without being bothered by someone. I still like talking onContinue reading “Reach Out And Text Someone In 2022”
JonBenet Ramsey’s Murder Is A Riddle Wrapped In A Mystery Inside An Enigma
It’s been 25 years this past Christmas that JonBenet Ramsey, only 6, was brutally murdered by someone. We may never know who. Unless someone confesses with concrete evidence only law enforcement knows, we won’t believe them. It wasn’t the parents, that I know of, even though I first thought they did it. I had beenContinue reading “JonBenet Ramsey’s Murder Is A Riddle Wrapped In A Mystery Inside An Enigma”
Don’t Take Down The Holiday Decorations Just Yet
I love the Christmas season. I love seeing the lights decorated all over neighborhoods and towns, especially when the smaller towns seem to go more out than the bigger communities. It may not have been a typical Christmas for many people as not only has Covid still hindered some plans but the weather was moreContinue reading “Don’t Take Down The Holiday Decorations Just Yet”
