Berry Nice
Why didn’t I try this sooner? I am kicking myself for all the money I have spent at Sam’s Club on fresh berries over the past few years. Yes, they are delicious and good for me. However they are not … Continue reading
Turtle-jacked
Tortoise stories in the news almost always grab my attention despite the fact that they are often very similar. Usually it’s something along the lines of “Missing Tortoise Returned to Local Family.” The headline in the L.A. Unleashed column on … Continue reading
Man in the Middle-brook
For the sake of social decorum, I took a slight break from my quest to drink only free coffee. WATE’s Tearsa Smith organized a “JavaTweetUp” at Javerde Coffee on Monday. I really like Tearsa and wanted to attend, even if … Continue reading
Mothra’s Day
A spectacular visitor landed on the kitchen window while my wife and I were making omelets on Sunday morning. I recognized it without having to contact What’s That Bug? and rushed for the camera to snap a picture of the … Continue reading
Silva Certificate
Michele Silva & Bob Yarbrough co-anchored WVLT‘s live broadcast of the Dogwood Arts Festival Parade on Friday night. I wrote about the parade in yesterday’s post. When she saw me, Michele took the opportunity to tease me about the latest … Continue reading
Dogwoody Style
A herd of Chick-fil-A cows parachuted into downtown Knoxville Friday night. They were actually small dolls, thrown from the roofs of buildings on both sides of Gay Street. Meanwhile a contingent of people in cow costumes marched in the Dogwood … Continue reading

Aside from the obvious benefit of raising money for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, one of my favorite things about the Star 102.1 Radiothon is the chance to visit with the local news anchors who stop by to help out. Beth … Continue reading
Quiet Buy It
For two days each year, Star 102.1 turns its airwaves over to raising money for East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Radio listeners will be asked to phone in a pledge of any amount. This year the hospital is pushing a 3 … Continue reading
G-burger, G-burger
“And the winner of a ten-year pass for all Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is… Frank Murphy,” said Ryan DeSear, general manager of Ripley Entertainment’s Tennessee attractions. I got about halfway to the podium when he said, “Oh … Continue reading
Supportive Spouses
The Knoxville Choral Society held their year-end party Monday night at Buddy’s Bar-B-Q Bearden Banquet Hall. The menu included grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, salad, peach cobbler and plenty of JFG coffee. The party gives members of the large choir a … Continue reading
Hope Floats
Nancy Feist’s daughter Hope was in the class that received the Sacrament of Confirmation at All Saints Church on Sunday night. Seeing the high school student walk up to the altar to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion … Continue reading
Take It to the Bridge
The upper crust of Knoxville was partying with Air Supply on Saturday night at the Knoxville Convention Center. I hadn’t heard about this year’s Center Stage event, which benefits East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. I probably still wouldn’t have known if … Continue reading
Deliver Us from Evil
A blog post I wrote last weekend needs a follow-up post this weekend. An article about the rate of sexual abuse among all groups of men, not just Catholic priests, inspired me to speak up. Although the percentage of abusers … Continue reading
