Homophobia is Alive and Well
J. Daniel Young A recent emergency meeting at the Ben Hill County Board of Education is a stark reminder that homophobia is alive and well in South Georgia. I learned of Dawn Clements from my sister-in-law and niece in recent years. My niece had Ms. Clements in both middle school and high school as a…

Tell me, why do I live here again?

Trying NOT to be Trendy
For whatever reason this week, I was looking at the online gravesites of my real father and grandfather. That’s when I noticed a trend that I had a tickling in back of my grey matter for a few years now. They both died at 53. Guess what guys? I am 53! So, I’ve had to…

Self love in the time of Covid

The death of integrity
Several years ago when I worked at Pyxis Corporation, an item on a self review was the self determination of your integrity. In as far as work was concerned, I felt then and still do that I had tons of integrity in the workplace. My manager at the time was a back-stabbing little troll of…
