Braunschweiger (MM #5400)

The popularity of certain foods comes and goes. Sure, there are some foods that everyone wants for a brief moment, only to disappear quickly. But then other foods have been staples for decades upon decades, only to disappear as well. But you don’t realize it because you haven’t thought about them in a long time….

Snail Mail (MM #5399)

Since the dawn of the Internet, the way we communicate in writing with people has changed significantly. Email communications have replaced letters. We now pay our bills online rather than putting them in an envelope and stamping them. And while snail mail still exists, we don’t use it as often anymore. Most of us don’t…

The Coming Year (MM #5398)

The new year is upon us. 2026 is finally here. But many people, myself included, are worried about what the coming year will bring. The midterm elections will be a primary focus on social media throughout the majority of the year. And it doesn’t matter your politics, it’s going to be very contentious. If you’ve…

Sponsors (MM #5397)

If you’re a college football fan, you have to be frustrated with all the sponsors associated with the sport. It’s not enough that the traditional bowl games now all have sponsors in addition to the bowl game name. There are also sponsors for the bowl series, and ESPN’s association with the sport. And that doesn’t…

Reflect And Prepare (MM #5396)

The time between Christmas and New Year’s is one we often use to reflect and prepare. Who you are and where you are in life determine how much time you spend reflecting or preparing for the coming year. These days, I’m always running behind. I didn’t use to be that way, but even with all…

Last night, right before I went to bed, the temperature dropped 20 degrees in the span of about 15 minutes. The…

Sports Is Big Business (MM #5394)

Every day as I head into the office, I see a reminder that pro sports is big business. All I have to do is look at the brand new Nashville football stadium to realize how important sports are to our economy. We’ve spent more time worrying about a beautiful stadium than we have about putting…

Generations (MM #5393)

It seems like you can’t go anywhere without hearing people complain about Baby Boomers, Millennials, or Gen X. It doesn’t matter what the story is. While we all share some similarities as human beings, each generation has values that are slightly different. Today, we only hear good things about the Greatest Generation, but I’m sure…

Perfume (MM #5392)

Through the years, I’ve been accused of being a know-it-all. And while I do know a lot of strange things, I learned long ago that knowledge of many subjects can pay off at a cocktail party, especially during a news interview. There are some subjects that, no matter how hard I try, I retain no…

Traditional Christmas Dinner (MM #5391)

Have you ever noticed that there is no traditional Christmas dinner? Sure, we all eat. But what? For the most part, turkey is what everyone eats on Thanksgiving. On Easter, it’s ham. But it doesn’t seem that anyone agrees on what should be on our Christmas dinner table. One of my favorites is lasagna. But…
