Please be patient with me for a while. My mother passed away earlier this week, so I haven’t been able to focus much on this blog. My mother was 80 years old. Some would say it’s not a good start to the new year, but my mother had some severe health problems the last 20Continue reading “A Death In The Family”

Rest In Power, Jimmy!
I’ve talked a lot of my time in Americus, Ga. and how I worked at the Americus Times-Recorder which was nearby Plains, Ga., where former President James E. Carter Jr., otherwise known just as Jimmy, was born 100 years ago and passed away on Sunday, Dec. 29. He may not have been considered one ofContinue reading “Rest In Power, Jimmy!”
‘Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ Dated But Overall Moral Is Timeless

Happy Hanukkah!
I want to wish each and everyone who celebrates a very Happy Hanukkah! As it seems anti-Semitic views have escalated in recent years, it’s a religion/faith that has been around for about 4,000 years and practiced by millions all over the world. Maybe we can learn a lesson this Christmas as the first night fallsContinue reading “Happy Hanukkah!”

Marlena Was Possessed 30 Years Ago
Just before Christmas weekend in 1994, viewers turned into The Days of Our Lives to watch their “stories” only to discover Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) would actually be possessed by the Devil. What a festive way to begin the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ! And I know some people can say that ChristmasContinue reading “Marlena Was Possessed 30 Years Ago”
