This Sunday afternoon, I along with two other local writers will be participating in a program in Columbus called "No Dead Authors." It will be held from 2-4 p.m. at the Tennessee Williams Welcome Center. I will be scond on the list, reading excerpts of a short story I wrote years ago, but have reclaimed it from the storage box with plans to revise it and send it to some literary journal--maybe even the Black Warrior Review.

Tomorrow, I have Saturday duty, which is just to come in for a few hours, check with the police and sheriff to see if anything bad happened overnight. Tomorrow morning, I will have to go to Sturgis, home of the Little Sturgis Motorcycle and Bike Rally, and where my 99-year-old grandmother lives, to cover a story about an Americorps group and their work.
In that light, on the Saturdays I have Saturday duty, I take Fridays off to compensate.
On this particular Friday I had off, I slept...

My, how I wish spring would hurry up and come! This 30 degree for high and lows in the teens. . .I thought this is supposed to be the sunny South.
I am still in high cotton after Ole Miss defeated Oklahoma State 21-7 in the Cotton Bowl Saturday. Pat Summerall was awesome doing play-by-play for the game for Fox, and Daryl "Moose" Johnston admirably handled the color commentary. I miss his work with John Madden back in the day when they did NFL games.

Forgive me longtime subscribers and devotees to DemopolisLive for my lengthy delay in blogging.
I have a new job, hence the title of the blog. I am a staff reporter--I prefer staff writer for The Commercial Dispatch in Columbus, Ms.I took this job because of a have-to situation.
The newspaper I was working for in Grenada went from a five-day daily to a two day bi-weekly, and I got caught in the shuffle.
