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. I see a traffic control officer, so I roll down my window. “Hi. is this for graduation?” She nods yes, waving me forward […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ My son graduates from the University of Alabama Saturday. He is graduating with a degree in geology.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The lady in the passenger seat. Shot, injured, in pain, she stood before me. “Instead of being discharged from the hospital, my family could be planning my funeral.” The woman is still in shock. She is strong, but I can tell she is amped on adrenaline […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Ratings. It’s everything in the TV business. It should be about the journalism. It’s about the ratings. It should be about holding the powerful accountable. It’s about ratings. It should be about righting wrongs and helping little old ladies across the street and finding lost dogs. It’s […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Yawning all day long. I feel like I am functioning on no sleep. I’m yawning and rubbing my eyes and wiping my nose. I’m just drag assing around. My eyes burn. My eyes are red. My brain is swollen, wrapped in an envelope of jelly that […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Bruce Jenner story. Is he a boy? Is he a girl? I’m not sure what’s going on here. I’m watching an onslaught of morning promos and I wonder “Who cares?” “It’s the can’t miss interview everyone will be talking about!” the announcer booms. So What, […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ How much there is to know that we don’t know. There is so much information in the world.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Sad Souls. It’s a Saturday Night at the bowling alley. The vibe is loud and bright. The ambience is rock and roll accentuated by the constant crackle of pins exploding. Imagine what it’s like to be inside a lit fire cracker and now you get […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The moment in your day that pokes you in the eye.
