Georgia Loses The Spelling Bee
Georgia Hathcock, not her real name, is either in trouble or causing it, and I mean that in the nicest way, really I do. Poor Georgia would be the first to admit that she has a tendency to both act and speak before she thinks. It has gotten her in more pickles than anyone who knows her cares to remember. One day she drew Paulette
There May Be More than One Kind of Government Leak
Hello folks, let’s chat…I’m going to share something with you for the Straight Running Crazy file, but you must promise me you’ll remain calm. Oh, who are kidding? Here goes. Despite that little sixteen trillion dollar national debt thing, our government spent $400,000 dollars over the last couple of years to fund underwear research. Granted, that sounds like a lot.

Stinking to High Heavens
It was the loveliest of Saturday afternoons. I was back porch tap, tap, tapping on my laptop and nearing the end of some very challenging edits on my next manuscript.

What Size Was That, Sir?
My friend was in the dressing room of a department store trying to find a bathing suit for the summer. She’d been there a while and things were looking bleak when she heard a woman giggle from another stall. My friend gave her bonus points for managing to retain her sense of humor. “I don’t feel much like chuckling,” she thought to herself as she
Elvis is Innocent
Hello folks, let’s chat…I called All Things Southern’s Roving Reporter for an update on that Mississippi thing. Okay, Emily Gatlin isn’t really a reporter, but she does live in Tupelo so she’s playing one for this segment. I need the FBI agents in the unmarked cars parked across the street from her house guarding the Senator’s family to know that I begged Emily for this inside
Spotting the Mighty Eagles of Lake Providence, LA
We’ve had people in town tell us about a pair of eagles that have made our lake their home and I’ve seen cell phone pictures others have captured, but until recently, it was just that, hearsay. Then we saw him for ourselves, this mighty bird with the wing span for days! And can I just say, “Wow!” It was Easter Sunday. He landed high atop a
