Liz Garrigan and the Nashville Scene have decided to tidy up their ‘Pith in the Wind’ blog. The only writers that will regularly appear in PITH will be Garrigan, Bruce Berry, Jeff Woods, and Matt Pulle (big coup to get Pulle back), with occasional posts by ace blogster, Roger Abramson. Quite a nice [...]
I look forward to a new one of these almost as much as a new Sports Illustrated (except for the one with all those pictures). Roger, wilco…
If a person believed everything he/she read* and they only read conservative to right-right-wing blogs and talk shows you’d believe that liberals were illogical, america-haters, godless, semi-treasonous, responsible for the decline in American civilization as well as losing the Vietnam war, irresponsible, bad lovers, and a whole lot more, but this illogical liberal brain [...]
I was cool for about three minutes once when I lived in New York. Sadly that was over 30 years ago. I have a cool Keith Richards t-shirt and I know a few cool folks, but I’m about as cool as the current side of the pillow. I hear talk about blogging [...]
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the new ‘Music City Bloggers‘ site. Sprung from the forehead of Zeus-ian Ivy and mid-wived by Kat Coble, the blog intends to roll the movable feast formerly gathering at NIT into a new non-media ‘privately’ run gathering. Full disclosure here: I’m part of [...]
I”m IT! Couldn’t get away from the Newscoma tag*. Name five places you like to eat at your location.
Man, I love to find places to eat around town, so five is too low of a number..I’ll try to keep it down (the number, not my food).
1. Alleycats - best enchiladas in N’ville. [...]
From a recently discovered manuscript - The Dead Sea Blog..
And they came to Him, wanting new rules. Even though their own rules, such as zero tolerance, three strikes - life sentence, and councilmanic courtesy really hadn’t worked out all that well, some people just flat need rules. So He said, ‘ok, if ya [...]
The story is well-known by now. Kat Coble and husband go to ‘headhunter’. Headhunter (J.L. Kirk) wants the big bucks to just to help with the headhunt and they want the bucks up front AND they resort to high-pressure tactics reminiscent of one of those ’special opportunities’ presented in a cheap hotel meeting [...]
I was generously tagged by my buddy Newscoma as one of the blogs that made her think. I suspect she is feeling charitable towards the older blogger element and selected me. Nonetheless, I appreciate the gesture.
It would be rude of me not to pass the honor along, and also not to post the [...]
Despite near encounters with wayward women, beers pounded, nude beaches and Rotarians, this post is oddly appropriate for Easter. Ceeelcee has the way with words.
*Part 1: Anything this guy writes.
Part 2: Anything this woman writes.
The rest of y’all are real swell.
The Fred ‘gasm’ furor may be slowing down a bit, while we all wait for our plain-speaking-commonsensical Hamlet to make up his mind, but the reaction to Fred and the Dobson proclamation continue to make for fun reading.
This post, by Harding University professor Mark Elrod isn’t exactly brand new (10 days old is six months [...]
A little over 2 and 1/2 years ago, my wife and I sold our home in the greater Green Hills area (not the posh side, believe me!) and moved into a brand new house in a little-known neighborhood called Salemtown. The way I identified my new environs to my friends was (and still [...]
Life has little meaning for the 1.3 billion souls residing in China. According to THIS, I’m banned. So’s Slarti, Ginger, and Ceeelcee’s new baseball site. Apparently the culture club is wielded by humorless totalitarian paddy-wackers. Don’t they know that I, yes, I, was Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. [...]
1. Florida will NOT repeat as NCAA men’s basketball champ. Too many teams will watch the film of Vandy taking Florida OUT.
2. You are going to hear the name of Kate Middleton so much in the next few months that you will be longing for the pristine early days of Paris [...]
The Bloggers day on the Hill has been established and the invitations are on the net. Monday, March 26th and Tuesday March 27th are earmarked as the days that bloggers of all political orientation (this is HUGE!) get to hang with their legislators while they do legislative business. I’d love to [...]
It was a light and windy Saturday on the plains of Bellevue. I was getting a fix for my girl’s soccer jones by mixing pleasure with pleasure: picking up my girl scout cookies from BusyMom AND watching BusyGirl’s U-14 rec league team attempt to play in what amounted to a crossfire windstorm.
I would estimate [...]
I realize that Aunt B has already pimped the Recovering Baptist for writing THIS piece, but now that I’ve read it daily for the past few days, I’m convinced this is a lost short story from Eudora Welty, the one she wrote that she wouldn’t show anyone because she wanted to remain ‘a lady’.
I also [...]
First of all, kudos to the folks who managed to get NiT WordPress up and running on the first day on time and on schedule. I was dubious that it would happen on time and in an orderly manner, but hey, certainly don’t mind being wrong.
I like the layout, the cleaner look, and I [...]
I was fortunate to be invited by Sean Braisted to a blogger’s lunch with candidate-for-mayor, David Briley. I got to eat with an august group of folks, including a young woman masquerading as Sarah Moore along with her beautiful daughter, Catherine. I say masquerading because the woman who claimed to be Sarah couldn’t [...]
Brandon - I wouldn’t put this on my blog if I could comment on your latest post. I don’t expect you (or anyone) to read my blog or any blog for that matter. However, when you berate and excoriate bloggers by asking ‘Did a single Nashville blogger do a damn thing [...]
