September 20, 2011 This week, I've been giving away tickets to the Old Courthouse Catacombs and the House of Lecter in Evansville. And it made me start thinking about past haunted house experiences. I have visited many but, sad to say, most of them were not memorable. Three, however, stand out in my mind--and not necessarily because they were scary. Oh, that had a lot to do with it, but other factors were involved.
September 19, 2011 I missed the hamster ball action last year! But not this year! I was determined to get in that thing. It was a lot of fun. When Chad showed me the hole I had to crawl into, I was like, "I can't get this big frame in there!" But I could, and I did
September 14, 2011 Photos in the September 12th issue of the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer of Pfc. Brandon S. Mullins' graveside service struck me so, that I decided to A) save the newspaper, and B) write about saving newspapers. My father had always done that. My mother still does. My sister and I have hung on to a few. It seems to be a family trait—an unusual one, maybe, but a trait nonetheless. But as I was locating old newspapers and clips, I noticed something at the bottom of a basket in my mother’s living room. It was a scrapbook—and a game changer. As it turns out, it was a scrapbook full of history. So I altered my plans.
The days are counting down until the Taste of Country concert on Saturday and we're getting excited. We can't see Josh Turner, Josh Thompson, Casey James, Glen Templeton and local band Straight Laced take the stage at Ellis Park. In case you haven't done so already, there's still time to purchase tickets online from Eventbrite. Since this is the first year, we figured it would be nice to share a few things to know for the event. With that, read on to find our survival guide for Taste of Country!
September 1, 2011 Okay, I would like to say something to the bicyclists of the world: “I’m sorry.” I’m not doing it out of spite, I can assure you. And I actually have to do it every single day. My livelihood kind of depends on it. Many others like me are in the same boat. But somehow I feel you’re not as angry with them as you are with me. I know some of you may think it’s wrong, but it really isn’t. And I promise you I’ll do a better job of understanding your position, but please try to understand mine. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES A CAR!

August 1, 2011 How often do you get to mark something off your bucket list? Well, last Saturday I got to do just that when I was taught how to scuba dive from Blue Meridian Dive Center divemaster Danny Hinton. I have always wanted to learn, and now I have. And it was just as big a blast as I thought it would be. I highly recommend it.
July 26, 2011 Or maybe I should say it isn't the first time Hollywood has gone Kentucky. It's one or the other. Maybe it's both. But as we await the arrival of the Bill Monroe movie, I thought it would be fun to take a look at other films that have been shot or partially shot in the Commonwealth.
