No, I’m not moonlighting down at Th’ Catch (a real strip joint in Knoxville) or the Boobie Bungalow ( a real strip joint between here and the Alabama line). But I do have a stripper name.
So do you.
You’re supposed to take the name of your pet and the name of the street you live on. [...]

Pass the Soup
Last week, when I wasn’t paying attention, this crawled up my nose.
It’s a rhinovirus molecule and evidently it has found a new home because it–and all its little friends–have put down roots and seem to be dug in for the duration.
And why not? I’m sure that as far as noses go, mine is a fine dwelling. [...]

The Help–If You Haven’t Read This Book, You Should.
A few months back, while digging in the ground for yet another new Franklin developement, workers unearthed some old bones. Activity ceased and experts were called in who determined that the bones belonged to a soldier who died during the Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864. They couldn’t tell which side he fought on–Confederate or Union–and there [...]

Franklin Goes Down Under
A few days ago Chris, otherwise known as A Free Man, asked me to write a guest post at his blog. I’m sure many of you are already regular readers, but if you’re not, a brief introduction.
Chris lives with his wife and 2 sons in Austrailia. He’s a college professor and an unabashed fan of [...]

Ken Burns’ National Parks
I hope that some of you, at least here in the U.S., have been able to see part of Ken Burns’ new documentary on PBS about the creation of the national park system here. Like all of Burns’ work (except for the one on baseball), it is beautifully written, has wonderful music and is voiced [...]

Can I Please Have Your Hair?
I don’t care who you are, your hair has to be better than mine.
My hair does not look good wet.
It does not look good dry.
It is too thin, too fine and too recalcitrant.
If my hair were a person, it would be a willful toddler throwing herself on the floor of a public place and having [...]

If you’re looking for the post on Burgundy…
I moved it to my other site, which is where it should’ve been in the first place.

The West Wing
A couple of days ago I came upon a rerun of The West Wing and was immediately sucked right in. That show is the reason God invented television. Every episode was perfect, from the theme music to the closing credits. It was patriotic without being jingoistic. And the donkeys and elephants were friendlier to each [...]

Maundy Thursday
In order to redeem myself for the previous post concerning the possible 666 tattoo on my head, I’d like to talk about Maundy Thursday.
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter. As far as holidays go, it’s right up there with Arbor Day–you’ve probably heard of it, but you’re not really sure what it’s all about. Growing [...]
