Time to hit the road again.
My byline will return to the pages of the T-G next week after my wife and I rest, recuperate and recharge. I've had this trip planned for months, and we had originally looked at going to Charleston, SC while we checked out the fall foliage along the way. However, the recent cold, wet and downright depressing weather inspired me to alter our destination to the place most likely to have temperatures over 80 degrees and no rain. That means Florida. That means Daytona Beach. My birthday is also Friday, which is an added bonus, don't you think? I gotta go where its warm. See you next Wednesday.
The rumor mill The rumor mill is getting way out of control, folks. Here at the T-G, we've had to come down with an iron fist as of late on those of you that simply can't take a hint and won't stop posting every little inflammatory rumor or story they hear either at the beauty shop, in line at Walmart, or within the dark recesses of their overripe skulls...
Dress code issue As anyone who visits this site is no doubt aware, the issue of school dress codes really sparks a debate. So, when I saw this story from ABC News this morning, I knew I had to share it with you...
Heading south again Well, it's that time of year again. You won't been seeing my byline during the coming week. My sweetie and I are loading up the car, tuning the XM radio to Maragritavile and hitting the road today to points south. Before that, we'll gathering with family for a brief ceremonial incantation, followed by a one night stay at a famous Chattanooga landmark and then we'll be heading down to Panama City Beach for the rest of the honeymoon...
So much for my car I picked a great day to get sick. After finishing stories for Friday's paper last night, the symptoms kicked in, so I took an Ibuprofen and hit the sack. However, I felt much worse upon rising this morning, so after I got things done at work, I took the rest of the day off and came home...
Apparently, enough WAS enough... Back in November, I blogged about the use of classic rock hits as background tunes in a post titled: "Muzak.... when is enough, enough?" Well, I just got my answer...
Oh deer ...again. I was lucky this time. Just about 10 minutes ago, coming into Shelbyville via Hwy. 130, I spotted a four point buck standing on the side of the road. I slammed on my brakes as it began to sprint across the road, but the damp highway caused me to keep sliding right into the poor beast...
Muzak.... when is enough, enough? The other day, I was having a quick lunch a local restaurant, when unfortunately, I began to notice the background music, which typically consists of either jazzed up or orchestral versions of classic rock tunes. Normally, I try to tune this out, seeing how annoying some of this stuff can be for an old rock and roll fan...
Change that your kids will HAVE to believe in… Well, we're starting to see what kind of "change" that many of you folks voted for last week. This is from a new government website called www.change.gov, where you get to see what your new president has planned for you and your children. From America Serves:...
Vacation time again Well, it's time once again to take a break and relax. My beat will fall to others next week while I recharge. There will be a day or so spent in North Carolina and the general area with my ladyfriend. I'll be keeping an sharp eye out for bears as well as those kamikaze deer that I seem to attract...
