I’ve learned that a download of your Facebook account’s information cannot proceed concurrently with the account being scheduled for deletion. So, I had to go back for four days while I waited for my download to be ready. Now it’s downloaded. Now I’m gone again. I’ve taken steps to preserve some connections I fear will … Read more
It begins tomorrow. I hereby commit to writing at least one actual snail mail letter per week. I will brashly dare to hope that this practice isn’t necessary for the entire Trump presidency. However, I am prepared to do so. (Can’t believe I’m actually going to use up what I thought was a lifetime cache … Read more
I left Facebook this past weekend, keeping only a skeleton account with no friends to manage the North Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force page and the Free Mom Hugs-Huntsville page. Long-time readers will remember I’ve done this before. I stayed gone two years. I have a feeling this departure is permanent. I have the same … Read more

I still have a fairly robust identity as a restaurant reviewer from the time I spent doing that at Rocket City Mom and We Are Huntsville. I did so from time to time at BoWilliams.com as well, but what got the most traction there were my hot wings reviews. However, the most recent review there … Read more
It was not a game without blemishes, but it was a game in which Auburn was never in position to win. I’ll take it. The final was 28-14, and it was the first Iron Bowl both of my children attended. The most consecutive Iron Bowls won is 9, which Alabama accomplished from 1973 to 1981. … Read more
Well, let me say three additional things. Because the first things we should do about the election are continue to love our family and friends, work hard and with integrity, live beneath our means, and so forth.
