Why I Want Phil Phillips to Win 'Idol'
Oh, I know some people can't stand American Idol -- I know some that think it's rigged. I've always enjoyed it, and it's made super-stars of some real talent that we probably would have never seen. Take Phillip Phillips -- yes, that's really his name. Unless you were aware of him ...
Please Help Find a Home For Sadie!

In the Immortal Words of Tom Petty...

Ugh! Biopsy Monday.
I started this blog nearly 3 years ago to the day to share my breast cancer diagnosis journey, and have been thrilled to be able to blog about other stuff for most of the past two years. Fingers crossed that continues to be the case, but I realized I wouldn't ...
Give Me a break! Falcons Want a New Dome?!
Does anybody else find this renewed talk of a new dome absurd? I'd love to know what you think. I've been a Falcons fan since my family moved to Atlanta in 1970. I loved the blue Atlanta Fulton County Stadium -- I have lots of fond memories of hundreds of hours spent there ...
