This week’s Courier Herald column. I’m taking care of some personal business, so you get a pre-written, mostly non-political column this week. When I first started writing columns for print publications I had a goal – briefly – of becoming Lewis Grizzard.  There were a few problems with this goal, the first and most important

I’ll go first. Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Pass the popcorn. December comet viewing for fun and pleasure. Wouldn’t lunch with these three sisters be a trip? But Tech is supposed to be good and help us, right? Rats. Sinking ship. You know this story. Sadness. Live music is the best. Now we know

Hello, and happy December! I’ve always loved this day because it was my grandparents’ wedding anniversary, so it was a special day to bridge the Thanksgiving-to-Christmas gap. It’s also the first day I’ve been able to live in my new (to me) house because I finally got someone to turn on my water yesterday. Moving

Good morning! It’s Election Day for municipal runoffs in Atlanta, Warner Robins, Marietta, and in so many other cities throughout Georgia. Apologies for missing the past two Tuesdays. Last week, my only excuse is being away for Thanksgiving, leaving town moments after the gavel fell on Sine Die (Tiny Die?). Week before that, we had
