Sorry it’s been so long since I last blogged!  I went on vacation and since my return I’ve been busy writing a script and working on new video.  I can’t keep up with my workload.  AHHHH!   Okay, so in my previous blog I told y’all about the experience of birthing my new book, Talk Southern To Me, and I promised to follow up with a blog about my book tour so here ya go, Kokomo. I just found myself typing[…]

Why haven’t I blogged in a month of Sundays? ‘Cause I’ve been birthing a book, y’all! And let me tell ya something—it’s been a fascinating journey – kinda like birthing a baby I reckon.   I once heard Carol Burnett, my favorite comedian, say, “Giving birth is like taking your bottom lip and forcing it over your entire head.” Perhaps this is why I never had youngins. In any case, I’m happy to report that although birthing a book was dern[…]

Hey y’all!  I haven’t blogged in forevah and evah because I’ve been busier than a three legged cat in a litter box writing my new book, “Talk Southern To Me,” and making videos.  I’m going to do my best to get back on the blog train and thought I’d start by getting y’all prepared for the Oscars which are airing tonight, March 4th. The Hollywood Oscars can be somewhat confusin’ to folks outside of the entertainment industry because most people[…]

https://mobile.twitter.com/TheAcademy/status/834954714269638656/video/1 This week’s news cycle was obsessed over the bizarre Best Picture Oscar mishap involving Moonlight and La La Land.  This made me reflect on my own bizarre trek through La La Land.   I’ll begin by telling y’all that 2006 was a tough wagon to pull.  You see, I had a feature film project in deep development at New Line Cinema. I wrote a southern comedy that takes place in the world of competitive clogging…a world I grew up in[…]

Some weeks are just wingdingers, aren’t they? First I had some kinda stomach bug…always pleasant and graceful. Then I got a sinus infection…equally as pleasant and graceful and then came the cherry on my sundae…Jury Duty! Now don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that Jury Duty is my civic duty but so is paying taxes and obeying the speed limit…one cannot be expected to always approach these duties with heaps of enthusiasm. Now to make matters worse, I[…]

The Christmas holidays are wonderful but they can also be the most stressful. Trying to keep up with the demands of work and life is hard enough but at this time of year we have to add on top of that the organization and purchasing of holiday gifts as well as the tricky task of scheduling the umpteen thousand holiday events and parties and family gatherings that are customary. And of course there is also the decorating and the cooking[…]

This past Monday night, I settled into bed wearing my practical, flannel, monogrammed pajamas and flipped on the TV. And there it was y’all…the Victoria’s Secret 2016 Fashion Show. And although I should have turned the channel to something more thought provoking, I did not. Instead, I stared at the screen with my jaw dropped….rubbernecking. My stars and garters! Literally…there were stars like Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and The Weeknd, and Lord knows there were plenty of garters. These models[…]

I was heartbroken to hear about the horrible fires in the Great Smokey Mountains. That region of the country holds a dear place in my heart as I have spent a lot of time in both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. My thoughts and prayers are with the folks of that region at this most difficult time. But since I am in the business of humor, I will proceed with a fun story despite my heavy heart. Last Tuesday I headed[…]
