I don’t have many friends. Part of the reason for my isolation is the nature of my job. The other problem is my personality. However, if I could choose my friends, Lex Alexander would be among them.
And so it is with sadness that I read at Jon Lowder’s of Lex leaving the [...]
The citizens of GSO may as well begin to come to terms with a terrible eventuality:
No one is going to buy the News & Record at any price. Its assets will be sold piece meal at auction by the bankruptcy court.
I could demonize Robin Saul, but the real problems are the press and computer [...]
AFAYK, I’ve received appeals for truce from Robin Saul and John Robinson. I heartily agree on behalf of the Wrong People of Greensboro. In these moments, we must be gracious and remember that many of them are the Wrong People, too.
The constabulary was not prepared for yesterday’s pincer movement on the security gates [...]
From the narcissistic burned-out vampire, Jerri Rowe, at the N&R:
She and Ross, her husband of 11 years, have no land phone, no microwave, no electric can opener, no washer and dryer, and no air conditioning, not even a window unit…
It’s been tough. The Myers family has no health insurance, and they haven’t seen a dentist [...]
It is no secret to my regular readers that I despise the mgmt at the News & Record for their incompetence. In fact, knowing many of the employees personally, it is a continuing wonderment that they are able to produce a paper at all. I am pleased to report that the bungling continues [...]

One of my interests is the Civil War as fought in North Carolina. Toward that end, I’ve read all of Bill Trotter‘s books on the subject as well as those by Charles Frazier. And occasionally I search for news on the subject. I was delighted to find the N&R‘s own Ned Harrison [...]
Today’s N&R section D called Savor mentions pomegranates at the top of the page and where you can get them – Harris Teeter and Fresh Market.
Let me tell you snobs one thing right now. I am not about to subject myself to the several stoplights of Sprawlboro to find one of those stores when [...]
I could watch nothing but Gordon Ramsay on TV. He reminds me of every great leader I’ve ever worked for. Some, like the Wife, have been less abusive, but the relentless drive for excellence remained.
And the constant among Ramsay, the Wife, and every success I’ve been a part of is a battle against [...]
It’s a beautiful day; the Wife has it off and we’re gonna enjoy it. We’ll start by going around to all her competitors, counting customers and shooting video for research. Later, we’ll contact and bribe their staff – the one’s we aren’t already blackmailing for intel. The plus size women in this [...]
