I have long been an admirer of the words and works of the late Paul Harvey and his radio commentaries known as the “The Rest of the Story.” I had the privilege of meeting him in New York at the Peabody Awards ceremonies, sponsored by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at…

My mother has, for years, expressed her opinion that one day I will be famous. My wife as well has asserted that she expects people across the world to know me. But being, in my view, “a no one from nowhere,” I have merely brushed those lofty expectations aside as the rose-colored-glasses vi…

If you get a message that pops up on your screen saying your computer has a problem and to call that number, DO NOT. These are scams.

We all have them, tucked away in our memory bank. The songs that make us smile, often many decades after we first heard them. In many cases, we heard them when we were growing up. They were blaring from the car radio, or our older sibling’s transistor radio, hidden and tucked under the pillo…

For much of my adult life, I have tried to return to my alma mater, the University of Georgia, a portion of what the institution has given me. I say “a portion” because I can never totally repay the debt I owe UGA for the honor of being a Georgia Bulldog. But that doesn’t mean I can’t try. A…

You can still upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free.

To paraphrase Amos, the Old Testament prophet, “I am neither a prophet, nor the son of a prophet.” But some things are so very predictable that even a blind man could see them coming. I knew when I wrote last week’s column on “Sky Diving And The Reopening Economy” that multiple readers would…

In the past, I have written “Home is where the heart is” and there’s no better time than now while “sheltered in place” to realize that.

Have you noticed that people often don’t say what they really mean? Maybe that’s a good thing. We’ve seen the consequences. Many TV shows and movies have featured characters who have no edit switch between their mouth and their brain. They were either “struck by lighting,” or were born with …

“Well, I suppose because I am more afraid of not living than I am of dying.”

While working out my “house arrest,” I’ve assumed, or been assigned, a number of tasks I didn’t want to touch.

Start Screen and Start Menu change how your desktop looks in Windows 10. Some people like one way and some like the other way. Let’s first look at what each is and then how to change.

High school graduations have gotten a lot of attention lately, because if not for the pandemic, another group of 18-year-olds would finally get to “walk,” and accept their diploma and the accompanying cheers.

I would do anything to change (blank).

It seems to take a pandemic for us to get our priorities in order. With the death toll in the country having passed 60,000 and with over a thousand of those here in Georgia, suddenly we realize that those who entertain us — like actors and ballplayers — are nothing more than diversions. They…

Looking back, I often regret that I did not give my mother an easier time of things. I was often stubborn and disrespectful as a teenager, and I know that she often felt as if she was struggling in vain against insurmountable odds to see her child turn out right.

Yes, there are apps that will work on phones that may show if you have been near people who have been or are COVID positive. There are several concerns with these apps.

I wonder how some couples are doing being under house arrest together.

Harold Reid had one of the most familiar voices in music history. His songs are still played on classic country radio stations, and yet most folks never knew his name. He died on April 24th from kidney failure at the age of 80.
