Zombie Viral
Prepare to experience déjà vu, that strange feeling we sometimes get that we’ve lived through something before. Last week, I wrote a blog post about doing the zombie workout at Koko FitClub. The local franchise of Koko FitClub shared my … Continue reading
Halloweird
It certainly felt like Halloween today. I was still in bed when I heard something strange on WTOP.com. They played an audio clip of Dr. Frankenstein shouting “It’s alive, it’s alive!” Unfortunately, they played it immediately before a commercial for an in … Continue reading

A nice surprise arrived just in time for Halloween. In appreciation for her visit last week, our friend Nancy sent a thank-you gift to my wife and me. She was obviously paying attention to what we liked during dinner and … Continue reading
Hail to the Censoredskins
What’s a Redskins fan to do? The team is under fire for having a name that is considered politically incorrect. My family and I are longtime fans of the burgundy and gold, whether they win or lose. By the way, … Continue reading

A Walmart store in Bristol, Virginia, has something I haven’t seen in years. They have live tropical fish in tanks that were similar to the displays at the variety stores I remember from childhood. My parents would shop at stores like Woolworth, Kresge, … Continue reading
Trader Jokes
A radio commercial for Trader Joe’s caused me to do a double take and then to laugh heartily. I heard the ad on WTOP.com the other morning. The announcer was suggesting a Valentine’s Day gift for a casual acquaintance. The … Continue reading
To Find New Worlds and New Civilizations
Halloween made me think of my childhood friend Brian Kirk. Last week, I wrote a blog post about going to church on All Saints Day. In it, I mentioned a house that had an elaborate set-up with talking jack-o-lanterns that … Continue reading
WOTW, Grover’s Mill
This week’s episode of American Experience on PBS commemorates the 75th anniversary of the classic 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds. I watched the show, as well as some great bonus footage, on the show’s website. I … Continue reading
Oh, Bone Pan
Holiday baking has begun at my house. Before you think it’s way too early, let me clarify. My holiday baking is for Halloween. I mentioned last week that I had received a bone-shaped cookie mold as a gift. I decided … Continue reading
James’ Bonds
The pictures tell the story of the 3rd Annual Hearth Scares Ball. The event is a benefit for James White’s Fort, also known as Knoxville’s first home. WNOX was the radio sponsor and I did some light emceeing duties on … Continue reading
Knick-Knack Paddywhack
One of my friends in the FBI Knoxville Citizens Academy Alumni Association gave me a small gift. She started by saying that she couldn’t resist buying it and that I shouldn’t worry because she got it at half-price. It made … Continue reading
