2 notes for the week and I’ll keep it short and sweet. The first bandwagon I’ll jump on is the whole Sandra Bullock/Jesse James saga. I know, I know. Besides Healthcare (the 2nd bandwagon I’m jumping off of), it’s been the topic of discussion amongst car pool lines and corporate break rooms. I’ll go ahead [...]

Unfortunately, I write this column from the perils of my office (which is no different than where I typically write it from) but after returning from a 72 hour hiatus on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, I find it hard to be as enthusiastic about my current location as I typically am. Vacations [...]

Morning radio in Atlanta has gotten me through many, many mornings over the life of my career. Cheating spouses, affairs with interns, psycho ex girlfriends. Whatever the topic may be, it never lacks for entertainment and 9 times out of 10 the subject matter is so incredibly off the wall and superficial that the only [...]

Apologies are in order, 7 days overdue, for the short hiatus I took last week. Sometimes life just gets, well… busy. And sometimes I get, ummm… tired. However, I’m back and ready for action.

Thank God for XM and morning radio because without them, my commute would seem much longer than the 45 minutes it actually is. It was on one of these afternoons last week while I was sitting on I-75, entangled in the whole mess of tractor trailers, carpoolers and raging rush hour drivers (I won’t mention [...]

I’ve been debating about writing on this topic for a week now, but as I was putting together  a lasagna the other night (yes, I’m THAT good),  I decided I’d be doing a huge injustice to my readers, the writing community and especially the people of Haiti if I ignored all the chaos and chose, [...]

I was lying in bed a few weeks ago, begging my brain to PUH-LEASE slow down so I could get a little, just a little, bit of shut eye. I had finished reading the first half of Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ and was determined to save the rest of it for the rainy weekend. [...]
