Funnel Vision
“Mama Jane” Harris has revealed her newest creation via social media. It’s the Funnel Cake Bacon Cheeseburger. I don’t have to imagine what it must taste like. I already know. I saw Mama Jane on opening day of the Tennessee Valley Fair … Continue reading
Hazari Materials Team
A crowd was gathered around Dr. Al Hazari on Market Square on Sunday. The chemistry professor had a table at the HoLa Festival and was putting on a very cool demonstration, literally. When my wife and I approached, Dr. Hazari was … Continue reading

Sweet Land of Liberty
During the Festival on the Fourth, the City of Knoxville’s Office of Special Events distributed free Statue of Liberty crowns made out of foam. My wife quickly realized that the 32-ounce Diet Coke in her hand could double as a … Continue reading
Money Funny
The camera shutter must have clicked right as Eddie Money delivered an outrageous punchline to one of his stories. Samantha Jones emailed me the picture, which I believe was taken by photographer Mike Kelly. The moment was captured backstage before Eddie’s concert … Continue reading

The Big Get Bigger
Between now and Saturday, I will re-read the regulations and judging procedures of the Kansas City Barbeque Society as part of my preparation for being a judge at the Big BBQ Bash in Maryville. This is the first year that … Continue reading
Toe the Line
If you look closely between comedienne Kristine Kinsey’s hand and foot, you can see a photo of me. In a short film called Deposit, she is seen painting her toenails and asking if the color matches my eyes. The movie was an … Continue reading
Money Changes Everything
Eddie Money was the headliner at the Secret City Festival in Oak Ridge on Friday night. Classic Hits 93.1 WNOX, CROET, Pro2Serve and UCOR sponsored the concert. I had the privilege of doing the stage introduction right before Eddie started. … Continue reading
