The Night My Mother Got Peed on at the Theatre
In 1998 I was enjoying a two-week run of Cabaret at the Clarence Brown Theatre. This was a University production (not to be confused with the professional company on the campus of UTK) and I was excited for my mom and stepdad to see this sort of naughty, sort of sexual, very-much-in-the-vein-of the Roundabout’s Broadway revival that I was…

Sh*t @RickSantorum Says
Thanks to the Americans Against the Tea Party Facebook page for sharing this video (below). Granted, some of it is edited to enhance his ignorance and insanity… but he’s still both. The religious beliefs of Rick Santorum (or fill-in-the-blank Republican candidate) have no power and, God forbid he ever get elected as President, will never…

I just read some of the nasty, negative comments on the JC Penney Facebook page and had to respond. So, to one particularly hateful senior citizens (Stanley Minor of…

Huskey Cemetery
I saw this image on Facebook today and laughed because it churned up this filed-away memory of driving the country roads of Tennessee with my mom. We were travelling along Highway 321, roughly ten miles beyond the entrance to my high school, in search of some sort of adventure. I’m not entirely sure what we…
