My Desk Friends
In my opinion, no desk in an office would be complete without the inclusion of a few friends to lend a helping hand when times get tough. And in the far left there, laptop buddha from my high school days makes a return visit to give off some good karma.
Frozen Fountain
The cold came southward, and snow fell in a number of places but unfortunately left Rome alone. But what it left behind was freezing temperatures, and one of the unfortunate icy victims was this fountain I saw today at Shorter College, frozen in place doing its duty.
Reading with Mr. Gnome
I bought this gnome, an addition to the “family” of them I happen to own (some of which now live in the newsroom at my desk) after I saw him in Big Lots here in Rome. At the time, while shopping for Christmas decorations and wrapping paper, the only thing I could think was “I [...]

One weird little dog
I’m in Huntsville this week, and since I forced my cousin to go to school today I’m here at home, waiting for the plumber alone and doing some work. My companions for the day are the tiny Chihuahua Raven, and a mutt of a cat named Niko. Raven, or Ray Ray, is one heck of [...]
Halloween Horrors
What’s scarier, a haunted house or this collection of signs that are piled up in front of the stoop at my next door neighbor’s house? Slightly tacky, yet completely unrefined those folks are…
The Mysterious Pumpkin
So when I was leaving for work this afternoon, I happen to look upon my front stoop and what do I find? A fully carved, scary looking pumpkin sitting on the steps right above my poor, dying Petunia. I probably could have kept it alive had I not come to the realization that such a [...]
