You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Bounty Hunters. Bang. Bang. Bang. The mother of 3 small children, ages 4,3 and 1, jumps up and looks out the peep-hole. BANG. BANG. BANG. Her heart is racing. She is scared. She tells me that she sees no one at the door, only a […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™Hope. I wrote this 2 plus years ago and stumbled upon it while I was cleaning up the Life’s Crazy site. I read the 1st line. Then the 2nd. Then I thought to myself; this is still as appropriate today, as it was 750 days ago, 750 […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. The NFL suspending Tom Brady for 4 games. Really? That’s a quarter of the season.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The art of the live shot. We live in a world where a 4 year old can tweet, text and shoot a selfie, all while peeing on himself in nursery school. Technology is easy and ubiquitous, so it’s surprising when it fails. It seems like the […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The magic of writing. It’s cathartic. It’s wonderful. It documents the ages and expresses the raw vision of the soul.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The La Quinta Inn in Tuscaloosa. “Make a right in 100 yards,” my GPS hollers. My girlfriend is nervous. I see her looking around, trying to relock doors that are all ready locked. “Is this the hotel?” she says trying to be brave. I want to […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Graduation Day. My oldest graduated from the University of Alabama Saturday. Roll Tide. We are driving toward campus. It’s stop and go traffic.
