Seeding Spartanburg

I couldn't resist posting this link to an article on FITS News. It's something about Bob Walker's write-in campaign (which is smart if the people in that district can pull it off) and a new organization, Citizens for a better Spartanburg, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Anyway, that's not why I'm posting. It [...]

I love, love, love Jason's Deli. I have since I realized they have organic PBJ's for my kids. And I do love their salad bar because it's clean, mostly organic and salad is always better when someone else cuts all that stuff up for me to eat. Today I'm EVEN happier about Jason's Deli after [...]

for changing the world. I posted these a long time ago on my blog but ran across a paper copy on my desk today. It is good for me to read them and remember why it is I do the things I do. And it's not just because I am crazy. The Ten Commandments for [...]

Read about a benefit this weekend where there will be a rare performance by Rob and the Mob. OMG. Remember those guys? What fun we had at Clancy's back in the day watching them. It's a great cause and for $25 you get BBQ, beer and Rob and the Mob. Can't beat that. t p.s. [...]

OK. I keep reading these McCain newspaper endorsements and I'm searching for one thing…how did they justify the Palin choice? Or did they? Even I could have lived with a McCain presidency. A McCain/Lieberman, McCain/Romney, McCain/Ridge but McCain with some gal that knows about as much as I do when it comes to being VP [...]

It's a long one but a fantastic piece by safe food advocate Michael Pollan in the NYT Magazine.  Farmer In Chief We need more highly skilled small farmers in more places all across America — not as a matter of nostalgia for the agrarian past but as a matter of national security. For nations that [...]

I am hoping my craziness is stemming from being two weeks out from this election. Hard to believe we are going into November. Anyhoo, these days I am a little…emotional? Hormonal? Frustrated? Disheartened? Worried? All of the above? As exemplified in last night’s post. I had attended Spartanburg’s political forum and it was like the [...]

I am so not in the mood to blog but here I am. Why? Because my thoughts have been local lately and not positive and that’s not easy for me because I’m just not sure how to handle that especially on this blog. One thing I rarely do on this blog is go off on [...]

I’d have a lot to say right now, wouldn’t you? Two weeks out from what will probably go down as one of, if not the, biggest elections of my lifetime. But, I can’t really find anything I want to blog about although I've been thinking a lot about leadership lately…as I’m sure we all have. Colin [...]

Had an interesting annoucement in Spartanburg this morning…Donna Hicks is going to run for Mayor. Who is that? You may ask. Who knows. Here's some video of her on GoUpstate. I'm pretty active in my community and I've never heard of this person in my life until she decided to run for my County Council seat. Which [...]
