Sunday mornings

I’ve always enjoyed Sunday mornings … from going to Sunday School and then services at First Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee with my great-grandmother when my age was still in the single-digits, to my current more adult-oriented fare (no, not porn) of double cappuccino, CBS Sunday Morning, Face the Nation, and the New York Times.

Home

The old cliché is that “home is where the heart is”, and if that’s true, then home is one of three places … as always, home will be Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I spent my formative years, and where much of the extended family that I really consider to be FAMILY reside.

Home will always be [...]

Fastgrrrl wrote today about having a sense of place, and how places leave their mark on people.

My place … I’m still trying to determine exactly where my place is …

It’s the Tennessee River, drifting [...]

Unbelievable …

I find it really hard to believe that in the 21st Century; 40 years after the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, that the United States still has to deal with this crap.

Tour de Life

Got my copy of Tour de Life: From Coma to Competition, by Saul Raisin (from Dalton, GA, near my hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee) and local Salt Lake City author Dave Shields.

As is typical of Dave’s books, it is extremely well written, and does an incredible job of telling Saul’s story from his crash at [...]
