Living the Snow Day Way

We woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow.  For many people, that’s not a big deal.  For folks in Atlanta GA, it’s a big deal.  We don’t often see that much snow, and when we do, it causes a major disruption in lifestyle.  In Georgia, we’re really not prepared for snow.  Our fleet of […]

Next

Sometimes I worry about next month. It’s really kind of silly. I don’t even know what will happen in the next minute.

The Ride of a Lifetime

I have been on many rides at many amusement parks but the wildest ride I ever went on was at a place called Fair Park in Nashville, TN.   The late, great, Fair Park was closed down years ago.  The old wooden roller coaster was dismantled.  The Tilt-a-whirl tossed in the scrap heap.  But there is one wild

The earth is millions of years old? The earth is a few thousand years old? Genesis is literal? Genesis is allegorical? Seven days or seven eons? How long did

Olla

I went to Olla Louisiana last week.  It’s a little place, a very little place, in the middle of the state.  I was there for a business trip, but I took some binoculars with me because I figured I might get to see some stars at night.  After all, Olla is a long way from

I Need a Light

I looked three times for something last night. I looked three times in the same place. I was almost sure that’s where it was, but three times and I still couldn’t find it? So I looked elsewhere. I still couldn’t find it, until this morning. This morning I got a flashlight and looked for the
