This morning we spent some time in my old hood of Signal Mountain. It is not far from where I live but my life today has me in the valley. We had brunch and then drove around on the streets I walked as a kid. Growing up on Signal helped shape me to be the person I am today. That community has changed but there is still shadows of a nerdy kid who lived in community by being a part of a great family, going to school, working for my grandfather, worshipping at Signal Mountain Baptist and supporting the institutions and businesses that made it a special place to be as a younger version of myself. Without it I would be a very different person but that could be said about anyone.

Breakfast At Olive Bean
We tried a new breakfast spot this morning. Olive Bean has a good menu of scratch made food featuring breakfast and lunch options. They have a gift shop too and soda fountain. It’s nice going to a different place to expand your horizons.
Muhammad Ali – The Greatest Of All Time
Muhammad Ali was not only a champion boxer but a champion for humanity and his faith. This morning we mourn his passing at age 74. He was an inspiration to many and a fierce competitor. Thanks champ for the memories.
National Donut Day 2016
Today was a day to honor the donut. Eat donuts. Enjoy donuts. We went to a local place for some tasty rings of deliciousness. There was a lemon filled, maple bacon, Snickers, Fruity Pebbles, peanut butter-chocolate, key lime…to wash it down some 2% moo juice (milk). We honor the donut for how it powers the community and the world.
Weekend Has Begun!
We have finally made it to the weekend. It’s good to see it here. Have fun good people! Grace and peace.
YABAR – Yet Another Blog About Reblogging
OK, perhaps I am just overreacting and making a mountain out of a mole hill about this reblogging thing.
Here are a couple of ground rules for my followers…
- DO NOT reblog personal posts that include family and other personal pictures.
- Ask for permission if there is something original I have written that sounds academic or poetic or something that could be used to advance my life and career.
- Other posts are OK including my music posts and other posts about current events, culture, etc.
Maybe that will eliminate unnecessary drama and angst on my part. I really wanna play well with others and perhaps have some of my stuff get the eyeballs and ears of others across the blogosphere.
