Commented on High School MemoriesThat North and South divide seems so inconsequential today, doesn't it? But it was real!

Commented on I need an AlfredIn that you only get 20 minutes a week for the steep price of $279/mo, I don't think you would be in any danger of being bored or running out of things to do!!

Commented on A Weekend Trip to the North Carolina MountainsThanks, Stan. I'm having loads of fun. I even have a book signing scheduled in October in St. Simons for my new book! Since this one is written by the dog, Island Dog is hosting the event.

Commented on Heroes among usWe had the pleasure of taking Dominic to the Atlanta WWII Forum today, where I got to introduce him. Folks from the Atlanta History Center approached him about interviewing him and making a recording for their website. So, a recording may be in the works. Thanks for your kind words.

Commented on "So many books, so little time"I recently met a woman who told me she owned 3,000 cookbooks and another 2,000 books!!

Commented on Trump's Got Another Problem!Alex, the only time I've ever written anything remotely political, I also submitted it ONLY to BCN. It would ruin my PollyAnna persona if I published anything controversial here in Dunwoody.

Commented on My Newest Writing AdventureYou just never know what will be next. In another month, I DO plan to write a piece on my publisher and my experience and list where the book can be found. I'll be shamelessly promoting my book in my columns in the Dunwoody Crier and here! I am fortunate to have seven local shops signed up to offer the book, but need to get cracking on a more comprehensive marketing plan.

Commented on Staring Is A Thing Of The PastI always have a book to read while in a waiting room. Heaven forbid I'd spend any time staring when I could be reading! But yes, my smartphone is my fallback these days when I end up somewhere without my book, like waiting for a friend in a restaurant.

Commented on A Vast Left-Wing ConspiracyJust a few days ago, I read an article in which someone else suggested that Hillary and the Donald were in cahoots to throw the race her way. Could it be a case of great minds...?

Great tribute. We moved to Atlanta in 1967, and I recall 285 being built. Too funny that folks used it to race on!

Commented on This Is Sure To Work!So, let me get this straight: If I indulge in drugs, alcohol, and lots of food deemed bad for me, I'll be helping society? I can cease working out three days a week, lie in bed, and read all day, and that will make me a good citizen? Oh, and I can stop cooking dinner every night and just get fast food? It's tempting!

Commented on Don’t You Dare Stick That Big Thing In Me!I'm thinking if the Roto-Rooter man had taken over the procedure with his tool, you wouldn't be writing this story. Thankfully, I've only had 3 colonoscopies, and yes, that's 3 too many.

Commented on Sometimes I Make Things Up & Sometimes I Don'tSad but very likely a true vision of the future...or the present. It doesn't take long, but I do read our Atlanta paper every morning, yet the AJC continues to send me emails wondering why I have not logged on to see the online version. UGH.

Commented on A Balancing ActHmmm. My trainer occasionally has us use the Bosu, similar to the balance pad, but not often to stand on. More often, we use it for pushups, or we sit balanced on it with legs in the air (for abs), or lunge on and off of it. But hey, we're all still trying...except perhaps for TMc.

Commented on Just call me Lord BanjoOh no, now you've encouraged him! He's written two other posts, one about daylight saving time and another about his diet, so he may feel they deserve to be seen on BCN. His feline sister has also spoken up.

Commented on What’s up with Names?Even Gwyneth Paltrow named her child Apple. Go figure. Instead of a trend that fades away, this behavior looks as though it will be with us for quite some time. May I just eloquently say, "ICK?"

Commented on There is no "proper English"As your resident grammar geek, I will continue sending "stuff" like this. See, I can be informal every once in a while.

Commented on There is no "proper English"TMc: In most contexts, someone and somebody are interchangeable. The only difference that most native speakers can agree upon is that someone is more formal than somebody (just as anyone is more formal than anybody, and everyone is more formal than everybody). (I googled your question and found this answer.)

Commented on There is no "proper English"I'm not actually writing about Shakespeare proper English. I am referring to basic English rules, like using I vs. me properly and not using double negatives.

Commented on It All Started With Saint ChristopherAs a non-Catholic, St. Christopher is one of the few I recognize. But I digress; I cannot believe the paper would not refer to this man as Archbishop. What's up with that? Is this political correctness carried yet another step too far?

Commented on Riding a bike helps lose weightI see a biz opportunity for this in St. Simons, GA. They already have a trolley with a tour guide, but a "Beercycle" (pronounced like popsicle) could be manned or womaned by a tour guide for twice the fun.

Love the video clips and the memories. You may be interested in the column I wrote for the Dunwoody Crier this year (www.thecrier.net) about their August concert in Norcross and my memories of this wonderful group.
