The Monuments of Birthdays
I was born September 18, 1967. Birthdays have always serve as a marker to the passage of time for me.

Some people sometimes spoke with accents so heavy I … [Read more...]
Character Revealed in Crisis
No comment. I’ve said that a lot in the past few weeks. What a strange phrase for a blogger and author with plenty of radio, speaking and interview experience.

On the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech given on August 28, 1963 I can think of nothing more important to say other than to simply share his own words.

Sinfully Good Mac n’ Cheese Recipe
Recently, I made a recipe from the Kitchen Prescription called “Copycat J Alexander's NYO (not your ordinary) Mac n' Cheese” that was delicious. I am not actually a huge fan of Mac n’ Cheese, but the one at J. Alexander’s restaurant in Tennessee has changed my opinion. My friend Renee Crosse sent me the link to the Kitchen Prescription after … [Read more...]
