You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! Keeping it all in perspective. This past Saturday, I drove 450 miles from Nashville to Memphis and back to Nashville like a FedEx trucker on NoDoz. 6 hours of driving for approximately 2 hours of soccer. That is maximum effort for minimal results. My day began before […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! ™ No matter what happened today, the world keeps spinning. It’s not a bad thing. It’s not a good thing. It just is! Sunrise. Sunset. NEXT! No matter how bad the tornadoes in Oklahoma, the world keeps spinning. No matter how bad the fires in California, […]

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! How much news coverage is being devoted to the floods. As you crazy readers undoubtedly know by now; Nashville was crapped on by Poseidon himself. When cars are floating on the inerstate, and school buildings are floating down the highway like Noah’s Ark heading toward a […]

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s Crazy!™ How interminable this disaster is. By this I mean, the atrocity just keeps going and going and going, like an evil Energizer Bunny. I went to a Rutherford County Community today, South East of Nashville. These poor souls still can’t get dry access to their sub […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!™ The power of the human spirit. Everywhere I have been, people have been dedicated to purpose and faith. I won’t and I can’t have been replaced by “I will and I am going to.” What I have seen over and over again is a tidal wave […]

You Know What’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s Crazy!™ How pervasive and consuming this Historic Flooding is. Everyone has a story of a close call or a story of a direct hit. I have a story of a close call. Downed trees and torn up grass. Big deal! I got to help a friend, this […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!™Flying over one river that has turned into five rivers. Flying over homes with mud on their rooves. Flying over cul-de-sacs that have become circular lakes of concrete encrusted hell.I spent Monday and Tuesday in a Jet Ranger chopper. It’s a beautiful aircraft that flies smooth and […]

You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! The sheriff knocking on your door at 10pm demanding you pack up your life in 10 minutes.That’s what happened to me Sunday night. I am the skipper on my own private Gilligan’s Island. The river behind our house was raging, lapping at the garage and splashing […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! A hundred year flood happening to a community before the hundred years is up. I don’t know when the clock started on this hundred year B.S. but I don’t feel like I got my money’s worth. DATELINE: Nashville In case you didn’t see the news. In […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! The paranoia going on at 28,000 feet. Every time you turn on the news there are reports of an aircraft being diverted because of a suspicious passenger, an unruly passenger, a threatening passenger. A gesture, a joke, a sorrowful look out the window as if a […]
