When I was a student, I was blessed with terrific teachers. Oh, of course there’s a bad apple or two in every bushel, but for the most part, the educators […]

Becoming a high school principal must really have a profound effect on a person’s integrity and sense of fairness. Earlier this month, the example was aptly-named principal Donnie Nutt of […]

I’ve been tagged twice, and then twice more. 1. Total number of films I own on DVD/video: 5 2. The last film I bought: Love Actually 3. The last film […]

The song I blogged about earlier, “100 Years” by Five For Fighting, must have impressed a lot of people. This morning I was watching the news on CNN before coming […]

I’m sure I bore everyone to death when I do blogs like this, but what can I say? I like words. Words on a page have a certain charm, but […]

Today on my blog, a “Making Of” special. It all started with a conversation with a film student friend in Florida, who was making a documentary as a student project. […]

It seems I’ve gone another week without blogging. Happens a bit too often, doesn’t it? As usual, something outrageous has happened that spurred me to write again, so maybe my […]

At last, I’m back in Atlanta. It was an interesting trip home, but it’s great to be here. Getting out of Las Vegas was easier than expected. The airport wasn’t […]

It’s finished. At 9PM last night, our empty crates were dropped off at our booth by highly professional union fork lift drivers, and we began the laborious process of packing. […]

It’s 11 PM. Day 3 of this 4-day show has been over for a while now. Desperate for an internet fix, I have set myself up in the lobby of […]

This is apparently going to be my only means of communication this week … I am unable to even keep up with e-mail as there have been some problems with […]

It’s been a while since last blog. I shall try to do better, or at least make them interesting enough that they’ll last longer! Meanwhile, this one will be quite […]

Someone has given me such a thoughtful gift. It’s a rhinovirus, otherwise known as the common cold. It all started yesterday afternoon. My throat started to feel scratchy, and I […]

Sorry, JG, I have nicked your blog-titling convention again. I’m having a rough night tonight. I’m not at all sure why, and that bothers me. Ever since I got home […]

I apologize for being indelicate, but when one feels strongly, one should speak out strongly. Terri Schindler-Schiavo is a woman who, several years ago, suffered brain damage as a result […]

I want to get this down while it’s fresh in my mind, because it’s astonishing. The following conversation took place between my bird, Phoenix, and I just a few minutes […]

Yes, another long gap in my blog flow. Sorry. Thanks to everyone who sent along birthday wishes yesterday. Even a fellow who used to be my boss, at a job […]

It’s been too long since I blogged. I apologize. A lot has happened since last I wrote, far too much to easily fill you in. Circumstances beyond my control brought […]

It’s Friday. The day has a different meaning than it used to, but then this is a time when change is the prevailing theme in my life, so that’s no […]

The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothing to plunder, I’m an over-forty victim of fate. I had forgotten how much I admire Jimmy Buffett. A special edition of the TV news/magazine […]
