  • Happy Birthday Adam

    Today would have been Adam’s birthday. November 14th a long time ago is the day the world got its’ first glimpse of the little baby boy that would make a huge impact on everyone and everything around him. Adam Greene was truly larger than life. His bold and extremely extraverted personality, along with his tenacity Read more

  • Hello Everyone

    It’s been more than 2 months since my last post. Gosh, time really does fly by when you’re having fun. It’s been a busy few months for me. I retired, transitioned into a new routine of not actually having a routine, and quickly began work on an exceedingly long list of tasks and chores. FYI. Read more

  • Hello

    Greetings from the Worldwide Headquarters of Joe from the South. A/K/A my tiny office overlooking my back garden and goldfish pond.

    No matter who you are, young or old, it is likely you have a strongly held opinion about Fruitcake. Literally everyone has some sort of feeling about the subject. Opinions vary, but MOST Folx seem to have a strong aversion against Fruitcake. Even if they have never even tasted one. Today, I want to come Read more

  • Mama: A southern Boy’s Memory.

    What first comes to YOUR mind when you hear the word “Mama?” I’m sure the thoughts and memories it evokes vary in many ways. For me, my Mama was and still is a good old Southern girl. She was raised in the rural back woods of South Alabama. The very tiny and extremely rural Arguta Read more

  • A LITTLE ADVICE FOR YOU (AND ME TOO.)

    If my Dad (JD) were here today to give advice, it would probably be in the form of a story. He loved to intertwine stories about a “good old boy” he once knew or perhaps that of a character from an old western movie he may have watched countless times throughout his life, when he Read more

  • The South, where is the “South”? and more…
