Eno Road

I want to talk to you a little about what’s going on on Eno Road over in Dickson, because, even though it’s been covered in the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, the Tennessean, etc., I hadn’t bothered to pay attention other than to laugh when the folks who live out in Dickson joke about [...]

Small Victory

I walked down the stairs from my office to my car.  Sure, my ankle freezed up on me totally psychosomatically and I was having trouble not shaking on the last flight, but I did it.  The very same stairs I had to call the Professor to help me down very recently.

When it comes to ground beef, the dog and I have a ritual.  The humans eat the beef and I roll her dog food around in the grease at the bottom of the pan and she eats the dog food.  We’ve been doing it this way her whole life.  No problems.  She loves it and [...]
