They put an extra second back on the scoreboard, much to the delight of the home team faithful. Still, with 1.8 seconds remaining, the realists among us knew how this would end. We daydreamed a bi...

A few months ago, the University of Tennessee at Martin unveiled a redesigned website. The site in an earlier form was brought up during a Student Government Association meeting in late November, ...

It was far an away the most “exotic” course I have ever run on, but the Zoo Run Run has made it into one my favorite Nashville 5Ks. I also managed to set a personal record (by only a f...

Snow has covered the ground for a good part of the last week. The overnight snowfall last Monday surprised most folks and closed Nashville schools all five days. This isn’t the first multi-d...

Shortly before the new year kicked off, I read an article by Marian Salzman on CNN.com that predicted that 2011 “could be a year of anger.” At the time, I found myself fulfilling that p...

Moved from Goodlettsville to East Nashville, easily the best decision we made this year. Old PPC Mac mini suffered its second hard-drive failure, replaced it a few months later. Learned that filin...

Many of our Christmas songs come from the golden age of music. It is easy to forget how old some of these songs, given that so many are re-recorded each year by whatever flavor of the week pop sta...

I walked out of the office today after a rather quiet day at work to a sunlit sky. Granted, today was an early day — I had finished up everything I could with few folks returning e-mails and ...

Gift giving is fun and exciting, but gift receiving is actually a bit stressful. That probably makes me a bit of a polar opposite from most of society, and it might not even be true at times. Saman...

I have a small confession: I don’t take care of my teeth nearly as well as I should. In the rush to get out the door in the morning, I’m more likely to swill around some mouthwash than ...

Nashville Predators Hockey “Excuse me.” “Hey, kiddo! How are you?” I turned around to see a short-haired little girl walking up from the lower bowl seats. She was all smiles...

I dropped my head in frustration as the goal was announced and the PA announcer thanked everyone for attending. I pivoted on my heels to make our way for the stair. It was becoming a bit of a fami...

In what is a bit of a Nashville tradition on Thanksgiving, I signed up for my first Boulevard Bolt. The five-mile race that goes to one end of Belmont Belle Meade Boulevard and back was, up until ...

There are two members of the state house that I simply cannot quite get a handle on. The words that seem to slip out of their mouths are ignorant, insulting and generally have no place in the publi...

Tomorrow around noon, my co-workers, their spouses and I are all traveling to Gatlinburg for our annual retreat. It is by far one of my favorite perks of the job, mostly because during an average ...

We do not have to pretend what side of the political fence I reside on. Some would argue that I live on an acre so far off of that proverbial fence that I do not have a clue where it is. I am a str...

This Saturday was by far one of busiest this year, featuring a 5K, two festivals and a hockey game. I ran the 5K in my second fastest time of the year through Germantown. The Germantown Street Fes...

I do not even recall if I ever placed in the poster contest. After all, a young color blind kid who did not have an artful bone in his body stood little chance of winning an art award. But still, ...

With 95 degree temperatures persisting through the first day of fall, it certainly does not feel like we are nearing the end of September. I was actually sweating a bit in my hockey jersey before ...

The drywall below the rafters was littered with holes, most were conveniently puck sized. It was not until a rising shot rang off the cross bar and then ricocheted off one of the light fixtures th...

You could tell from the look on his face that it was half amusement, half pitty. I plodded along up to where he was standing, holding back cars with just an outstretched palm. “You’ll g...

I am registered for my sixth 5K of 2010 this weekend. It was a spur of the moment decision, knowing little about it other than it is sponsored by the YMCA and it is being held somewhere in Green H...

I was sitting next to a gentleman on the plane between Salt Lake City and Denver last week as he rambled on about hedge funds and paperwork to his business partner. I was very road weary (and perh...

A little over a week ago, I got the call to work with one of our new clients on a fairly large project. The project meant that we would need to spend a day meeting with their team face-to-face, not...

An East Nashville co-worker suggested a simple flow chart to answer the question, “When is the Tomato Art Fest“. It only needed two paths to answer the question, “Is it the hotte...

Congratulations, guys! The site looks amazing! :)
