Month: May 2014

I heard those words again this week while sitting in on some Social Media training centered on LinkedIn, but encompassing several other areas before the 90 minute session was done. Actually I’m sitting in on three sessions this week, a bit more than I normally do, but realize it’s well worth my time. Sometime over the past several weeks I was discussing blogs with Trey Gafford. Trey has been around advertising for most of his… Read More

Typically, post on this blog should be advance of events to let you know they are coming, but unfortunately, I miss some along the way.  But better than a weather forecast before the weekend, I can tell you exactly what happened in the weather from the weekend now.  That being said, I had some thoughts about several events from the past few days worthy of comment. First, the Rail City Criterion, an event for bike… Read More

This would be the second year for an event that quietly slipped into town last year. If you were downtown and caught any of the action, it was pretty exciting Bike Racing through the streets of Downtown Opelika. The race will take a few downtown street out of commission for a bit, but should not impact you in your downtown routine on Saturday. So what is it,well if you are part of the Bike community… Read More

So tonight with the help of Siri I post from the banks of the Tombigbee River in Demopolis Alabama! From the door of my camper I can very easily throw a softball into the river. And if you know me I’m not very much of a sportsman. Yep it’s that close. I am loaning my camper to a friend for a few months so I brought it over here to set up for him. Since… Read More

I posted his to Faebook for all my friends, but as some (the smart ones) are not entrinched in Facebook) I thought I would share this outside of my community for others to enjoy,I hope! This photo album I stumbled across tonight, probably doesn’t have 30 pictures total in it. After finding pictures of my Mother, Rose Katz and getting all melancholy about things, I found this. And after seeing both of these beautiful women… Read More

Okay, maybe I’m just caught up in the moment with the NFL Draft going on, or maybe it’s the Ad I’m buying in the Opelika Football Program for this coming Fall Season, but get ready, because we’re playing some football this coming week.  Put this date on the calendar. Thursday, May 15th, it’s the Opelika Middle School Vs Benjamin Russell at 5:30 PM in Bulldog Stadium. And at 7:00 PM, Gadsden City is in town… Read More
