  • Skunky (MM #4801)

    14 MAY 2024 · You understand what skunky means if you've ever drank a glass of stale iced tea or perhaps a nasty mug of beer. Part of the reason I stopped drinking beer decades ago is because I had too many skunky beers. But the one thing worse than that is stale iced tea. Now, if you drink only sweet tea, you don't notice when it's stale. But when you live in the south and try to drink unsweetened tea, it's usually skunky. The reason is simple. More people drink the sweet stuff, so it doesn't have time to sit. If you prefer it without sugar, you must prepare for something nasty...

  • Armored Cars (MM #4800)

    13 MAY 2024 · We all have little quirks that make us who we are. For some, they're fears and often irrational. For example, I have a fear of being around armored cars. Technically, I guess we should call them armored trucks. Now, I don't freak out, but I do my best to get away from them as quickly as possible. The other day, I was heading to work and had one pull out in front of me. Traffic was heavy, but I knew I had to find a way to get around the vehicle. While I don't have a panic attack, I go into escape mode. I know that it's silly and pretty irrational, but that doesn't matter...

  • Tough Day (MM #4799)

    12 MAY 2024 · It's Mother's Day. For many, it's a day to honor our mother and remind her that we care. Of course, I can argue that we should look at every day throughout the year similarly. But while it's a day to celebrate, it is also a tough day for many. For anyone who has lost their mother, it can be a tough day. I've seen that first-hand the last few years, as it's been almost five years since my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly. And while my wife struggles with that fact all of the time, I especially notice her pain around this holiday. And she's not alone...

  • Bachelor Party (MM #4798)

    11 MAY 2024 · One of our nephews is in Nashville this weekend for a bachelor party. When he told us he was coming, I only had one question: Why Nashville? I'm no expert when it comes to the subject, but I have been to some of the top party towns across America. And while I love Nashville, I don't know if it would make my list of bachelor party destinations. I think Las Vegas, New York, New Orleans, or Miami's South Beach would be better places to party. But I may be biased. Because of all my years working with country music, perhaps I don't view Nashville like others do...

  • Simple Bracket (MM #4797)

    10 MAY 2024 · No one ever said that simple was easy. A few weeks ago, one of the brackets that hold up the handrail on the steps leading to our second floor broke. If you have a staircase in your house, you know the one I'm talking about. It's made of brass or some alloy that looks like brass; they attach to the wall and the bottom of the handrail. It's a simple bracket, or so I thought. While most look the same, they're not. There are slight variations. Some come to a point at the bottom, and some are slightly rounded. And, of course, the screw holes don't line up perfectly...

  • Straight-Line Winds (MM #4796)

    9 MAY 2024 · Many parts of the country have dealt with tornadoes over the last few days. The warmer weather and severe storms often make for a troubling combination this time of year. I remember going through tornado drills when I was still in grade school. While Nashville has experienced numerous tornadoes over the last few years, the straight-line winds often catch people by surprise. We discussed the weather around the office yesterday, and I knew people were preparing. But it wasn't tornadoes causing concern; it was straight-line winds...

  • The Backyard (MM #4795)

    8 MAY 2024 · Many people like to spend time in the backyard during this time of year. It could be gardening, hanging out with friends, or even grilling out. While I enjoyed spending time outdoors in my younger days, my allergies mostly keep me indoors today. I spend very little time in the backyard. But I can watch all the wildlife, and somehow, it ends up inside the fence. We always see birds and squirrels, and bunny rabbits love that we don't have any dogs to bother them. Recently, we had a new visitor stop by, a skunk. Now, I have to figure out how to make it go away...

  • Get The Message (MM #4794)

    7 MAY 2024 · Consumers are frustrated. For the last couple of years, the cost of everything has skyrocketed. For a while, people kept buying what they needed. But recently, they've screamed enough is enough. Fewer people are dining out. Many are even staying away from fast food. Business at grocery stores is slowing down, too. Shoppers have had enough. And it's finally getting back to the companies that are trying to control the price. They claim they get the message, and they promise to cut prices. We'll see if they're serious...

  • Jam And Jelly (MM #4793)

    6 MAY 2024 · I'm sure someone explained this to me years ago, but I couldn't remember how jam and jelly differ. And what about preserves? Recently, we went out for dinner, and they had some little containers to use on my biscuits. I thought I knew the difference, but I get a bit confused when you add preserves to the mix. I didn't spend much time thinking about this, but I had to look up the answer. As I expected, it all depends on the size of the fruit pieces or the lack thereof...

  • Head North (MM #4792)

    5 MAY 2024 · While I don't own a self-driving car, I often joke that the one thing I can do is head north with my eyes closed. If I drive any highway outside of Nashville, I usually head north on Interstate 65. Once or twice a month, I visit my booth at the antique mall in Franklin, Kentucky. But we're often on the road to Indiana to see family. Yesterday, we rolled up I-65 to see our nephew Cade graduate from college. Since the pandemic shut down his high school graduation, there was no way we were missing this one. My wife and I've made that northbound trip hundreds of times...
