Just a few days until THE football rivalry in South Carolina. It's the Carolina-Clemson game, or, as some folks say, the Clemson-Carolina game. I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina. So was my dad. Several other family members a...
The Leather Pants
Daughter Mandy has always been somewhat of a fashionista, although at an early age it was likely only in her own mind. (Read about that here.) She often advises me about how to dress and what to wear – usually after the fact, of course. She keep...

PH: Murphy Moved In - and There Are Pictures to Prove It!
Murphy moved in last week. Well, it wasn’t a person named Murphy; instead, it was Murphy’s Law. The theme for this week's Photo Hunt in blogland was -- well, there wasn't a theme. It was a "free" week in which anything goes. I ha...
Questions About Peace Prize?
The e-mail message from my son was short: “Any thoughts about this year's Peace Prize?” Absolutely!!! I definitely had thoughts. More than thoughts, though, were the questions. What I question is the nominating process, criteria used and time ...

Family, Friends and Facebook

Burial? Cremation? Or What?
I’ve always figured I’d be buried when I die.(I guess adding “when I die” wasn’t really necessary, was it? After all, most folks don’t plan to be buried before they die!)Anyway, when I was growing up, that was what happened when people di...

A Tire, Taxes and Tea
Wednesday was not only Tax Day and Tea Party Day, it was also “Take a Wild Guess Day.”Well, I’m taking a wild guess that it’s not just coincidental that Income Tax Pay Day and Take a Wild Guess Day are celebrated together. Sometimes paperwork...
