Years ago, most people only subscribed to newspapers, magazines, and perhaps cable TV. But today, thanks to technology, most of us have numerous subscriptions. I keep track of most, but keeping track is difficult. Recently, I’ve received dozens of emails claiming “your subscription has expired.” They’re ALL spam. They never send emails like that…

The Tennessee Legislature is currently in session here in Nashville. It’s a special session created to discuss school safety and gun control. While many across the state want them to tackle the pressing issues, they have something else in mind. One of the only things they’ve passed is a rule that allows no signs in…

I’m not a big fan of hospitals. And while I know that they serve an essential purpose, I don’t know many people who would disagree. I don’t think about hospitals much, but that’s been different the last few days. While on the road over the weekend, I saw a billboard outside of Indianapolis that struck…

But since a couple of my nephews started playing football, I’ve started following the game. Football on Friday nights wasn’t…

Have you heard the news? Summer is over, or at least that’s what I read on Facebook, or was it Twitter? Sure, the temperature was near 100 degrees last week, but Fall must be here. Nearly a dozen friends found Halloween decorations in stores this week, so Summer has to be in the rearview mirror….

I’m always fascinated when scientists can identify new forms of life. They often identify fossils of creatures that lived tens of thousands of years ago with the dinosaurs. Recently though, they found another new species. This one still lives in the ocean’s depths near Antarctica. It’s a distant relative of the starfish, and researchers think…
