I came across M. Ward while listening to Pandora.com and he has become my favorite of late. I guess I'd describe him as a americana/folk/county/son volt but oh so much more than all that. I'll try to post a couple...
Sorry that it's taken me so long to give a holiday update--what with the stomach virus that hit us all like a ton of bricks, all the travel & visitors, and the cold that we're all now trying to shake--it's...
Well, my sink is still shiny. I got a total of 14 emails from FlyLady (or the FlyLady yahoo group) today. It was the morning routine email at that set me back. The email I received at 7:41 said today...
I wonder if she will take up "courting" in order to get into character? Perhaps all of the covenant grads around here should give her some tips on how to really portray a Covenant girl. Here's the film story, andhere's an...
It has been a while, like most things, i have fallen out of the habit. I am trying really hard to find habitual reasons to do things in my life. i am finding it very important...
Long story, but my New Year's went sour. But I made up for it by tying up some loose ends. I've spent a lot of time playing music the past couple of days, and also writing a lot of music which has been...
Man, my house is lonely. April and Joanna hit the Grand Canyon today. I'm also picking Texas to win tonight. I have no love for Texas, but I hate USC more. I also think Texas' D, in particular their d-line, will...
Remember him? Marlboro Man . He was the picture of the great American guy over in Iraq and used by our propaganda department in the White House. He is strong, handsome and a cigarette dangling from his...
My boss, who I've blogged about before, is leaving our firm for the big-city life in Chicago. He's accepted a position with a remarkable firm as their Product Architect. I have mixed feelings about this, and will definitely miss his...
A great comment by Mark Steyn: The great thing about multiculturalism is that it doesn't involve knowing anything about other cultures--the capital of Bhutan, the principal exports of Malawi, who cares? All it requires is feeling good about other cultures. It's...
"I believe in the floor. I put it into place and I walk on it. Faith is a floor. If you don't work at making it for yourself, you have nothing to walk on." --The Mason in Gregory...

Good Grief the Repugs keep us busy. Each week annother story and scandal shows up before the other one even gets full coverage. We have enough to write on with the illegal spying on Americans by the...
We're playing at a bar on Tuesday. Its at 1914 8th St. Downtown and called Hana. We're playing with Snowman Plan and Lake of Falcons. I was gonna include the flyer that Jeff Forrest made but it...
The last two days have been a messy mix of ups and downs. Matt went back to school yesterday, which meant it was my first day home with three children. I was hoping to start the day off rested, but...
So today I received my final referral for my free mini mac. So now I'm waiting for them to verify those referrals and hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a computer for the house. Also, Mark and I received a...
I can't tell whether the Hamilton County Jail is reminiscent of a lawless Wild West, or if local media and officials are blowing things out of proportion. Any sense among you local readers for where this really stands? I'm talking...
Well, it's been awhile since I have posted anything about what has been going on with us. I guess the craziness of the Christmas season, combined with the fact that I am never good at keeping up with my...
As found in the online Jackson Sun (and, I'm sure, other Gannett outlets), a Center for Responsive Politics project lists Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's VOLPAC as the recipient of $2,000 from the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. The donor...
For Immediate Release Chattanooga, TN/Jan. 4, 2006 ~ As a candidate for county commissioner in District 8, I am appalled at Curtis Adams' most recent management blunder in addressing an issue affecting all of us. This recent incident is eerily...
Ah, I forgot to mention one thing. According to the new EU air passenger rights, the airline is obligated to pay quite a lot of money if the airline itself is responsible for a delay. It seems that in our...
I, in general, am a sorry sort when I am sick - which thankfully happens much less as I get older. I am typically cranky, good for nothing and generally make life harder on everyone. This particular go around has...
The Voice of Chattanooga will have the following guests on the show at 8am on Tuesday mornings in the month of January. Engage these people in a meaningful discussion about the issues, ideas, and events coming up in our...

I still get mad when I remember this incident that happened to me three days ago. Aaargh! As a regular Slovak guy, I always have a lot of things to complain about. ;-) I will surprise some of you with...
I'm sure by now, most of you are familiar with the facts that have spread across the internet reguarding Chuck Norris. Hilarious. But I've run into a problem, seems like whenever I search the net for Chuck Norris jokes (I...
Florida State just lost the Orange Bowl 26-23. If you missed it, it was the best bowl game so far this 2005 bowl series. Tomorrow had better be good. Go Longhorns!!!!...
Hands, Holding When lighting a match: when the wind is especially spirited: a telephone pole, say, or a notch in the side of a building, won’t do. In this case, only the shelter of hands satisfies. I prefer matches; I understand the...
