Surprised by the comments and vote of one of their government officials this week, one of my friends remarked...
Before departing Florida, I had the great honor of interviewing the boys from Magnificent Applesauce (“MagSauce” as they call themselves).....
And at some point, without really thinking about it, I rolled up my sleeves to make a point. At that point it was not more than a couple of minutes before I could hear the little whispers about my tattoos which were now showing near my wrists. I'm not sure if it was the Holy Spirit or just a creative flash, but at that moment ...
The Ledger correctly pointed out that Governor Crist owes Polk County and our entire region an explanation of his unfortunate veto of construction funds for the new campus of the USF Polytechnic. While I agree that an explanation is in order, I hate to admit that I already know what it says, and it stinks to high heaven.
Normally I do not share the maze of events which take place during a given week which act as inspiration to write my articles. However, this week...
We're spoiling the results this week to save you the pain of watching the show....
Tonight, or actually last night, Crystal, Casey and Lee sang a pair of songs. Yes, it should have been Crystal, Siobhan and Lilly, but that's what you get when you let the public vote. Because we like pain, Lorrie and I watched American Idol and this is what we found....

Ok, one last thought…we deserve it.

Yet again, we make fun of American Idol. The show has eliminated most of the true talent and we're forced to ramble on. We have that kind of dedication. Do you?
My partner, Lorrie Delk Walker, isn't with us as she is still upset that Siobhan lost last week. Or she needed sleep. Or something. I once promised to stop watching if she or Crystal left the show, but with Lorrie out...I am forced to soldier on.
I’m back. As I said last month, I’m sorry that my Tallahassee toiling prevented me from posting my commentary about regional goings on. Even I missed my weekly dose of regionalism. But I was so proud to return immediately to a prophecy fulfilled! Well, again, that may be a bit haughty. But I’m real proud of Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, anyway.
