RoadTurn: Reflections on the Paul Potts Story

We’ve been asked to help generate publicity for The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk and are happy to be a part of that effort. Here’s the scoop:
The movement is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research.
Volunteers become champions in the fight against Alzheimer’s. There are walks [...]

My boy, Zebadiah, is only six years old and we had to buy glasses for him this year. I hate to see kids that young experiencing physical problems. His mother’s side has a history of needing glasses at an early age, so I got off my tangent of these darned computer screens ruining our children’s [...]

We are back from Florida and darned glad of it. These old mountains have been calling my name. Fresh air is a good thing. I have received the final approval to go ahead and write that master’s thesis and the subject could not be more pertinent right now: Home.
On the making a living side of [...]

There was a time when I enjoyed staying in hotel rooms and eating out regularly. Maybe it’s just me getting older, but somehow the whole deal has lost most of its flair. I’m popping another Claritin D as we speak, trying to fend off the headache and sneezing that comes with almost every hotel experience. [...]

I love creativity. Even when I don’t agree with the statement being made, I can admire the thought and effort that goes into a creative work. Especially, I enjoy seeing what folks can do with this relatively new medium called the world wide web. The possibilities are seemingly endless.
Take a subject like bed bugs, for [...]

July is vacation time for me. It’s always been like that. My dad’s lumber mill shut down for two weeks every July so all the employees could celebrate Independence Day, go fishing, travel, and take a break. For us, that often meant driving cross country to visit family. I love this time of year.

My recent emphasis on the importance to know what one is doing has led to a conversation on the value of being. Don’t grit your teeth and expect to engage a Socratic dialogue, though. This word on being is brought to you by a woman who says that the outer person is important to the [...]

Should you decide to trek to the United Kingdom to see the Britain’s Got Talent Live show, or vice versa, travel from Liverpool to catch the action at America’s Got Talent, don’t forget to pick up some international calling cards so that you can deliver all those on-site reports to the folks back home. Put [...]

In the “What isn’t available on the internet?” column, I am pleased to report that Payday Loans are now available online. That’s right, no need to wait until next Friday to start spending that hard-earned cash, you can get an advance on your check, Now. No kidding.

Any of you who just doesn’t feel that you yet have all the credit you need and deserve, boy do I have the site for you. Instead of waiting for that perfectly suited offer to arrive in your mailbox, you can be proactive and go search for the exact terms and benefits you desire. For [...]

I’m still trying to figure out exactly what they offer and how it works, but Amazon is building up their Unbox offerings and in my humble opinion, video on demand beats driving to town and walking up and down the isles, any day of the week. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out Brother [...]

True story: I once shared a cab with a woman who was on assignment for the “Department of Justice.” She had given me that little tidbit of information freely, but to know the details of her important and pressing business–well “she could tell me, but then she’d have to kill me.” I was happy to [...]
