E.B. visits Huntsville, meets the rabbit
E.B. has, for the most part, proved himself over these last months to be a faithful companion. He still has accidents inside the house, still goes over to the neighbor’s house to play. He wasn’t so bad during the week I was gone on vacation either. But what he loves the most is traveling with [...]
Jack Lupton, RIP
Jack Lupton, famous here in Chattanooga as a man who helped usher in a new era of growth for the city, died Sunday at his home at 83. Lupton was once one of the largest bottlers of Coca-Cola in the 1970s and 80s, he sold his business for $1.2 billion in 1986. Some will say [...]
Boxcar Blues
Clyde couldn’t sleep what with the clank of steel wheels on the rails and the air horn. It blared every few miles or so when the train roared past a railroad crossing. He laid a few feet from the open doorway and watched the countryside as it sped past in the moonlight. He tried to [...]
Another yo-yo from Dave and Buster’s
On Tuesday, after spending Monday in Chattanooga getting my brakes done and my clothes washed, I returned home and went into the office before heading into the great abyss that is my apartment to see what my week looked like. Things always seem to start out slow, as the calendar for Wednesday hasn’t really been [...]

My Daily Photo: September 12, 2008

My Daily Photo: September 3, 2008
With my father in town right now, we’ve taken the opportunity to move all the files from his old computer over to his laptop, which was a feat in itself after I had difficulties getting my external hard drive to do what I want it to do. After moving the files over Monday, I didn’t [...]
My Mother’s Visit
My mother, God love her, came to stay with me last night so she wouldn’t have so far to drive down to La Grange this morning to go pick up my grandmother for the wedding Saturday. The two of us have been planning her stay for over a month now, and there have been three [...]
