On a Sunday afternoon it's fun to remember the classic "Name that Tune" battles in Hampton on the way to Watauga Lake.

I'm pretty sure that I was the all-time champion.

On Love - A homily that punches you right in the gut.

In the Season 2 and Series finale of the incredible series Fleabag from the remarkable Phoebe Waller-Bridge the scene that I can't get out of my head is the homily on love by "Hot Priest" Andrew Scott. I really want to memorize this and share it at an open mic sometime. It's poetry. Homily on Love by "Hot Priest" in Series Finale of Fleabag Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not...

Outrageous Outrage

So we have outrage over the killing of the gorilla (Harambe) at the Cincinnati Zoo. We have outrage over the child’s mom for apparently looking the other way and losing track of her child for a moment. We have outrage over bathrooms. We have outrage over the outrage and over so many things. But it doesn't seem like we have outrage over children fending for themselves while their moms and dads work two jobs just to barely make ends meet. We don't have outrage when children live in substandard housing because their parents pay predatory interest rates for their mortgage or pay rent to landlords who don't fix leaking roofs. We don't have outrage when children go to bed hungry (or when Congress votes to cut school nutrition and SNAP programs). We don't have outrage when a parent battling addiction, often due to drugs prescribed by their doctor, can't get the treatment they need to be healthy and sober. The dangerous threat to our children is not a goril...

Met-Rx World's Strongest Man Competitors Visit East End Family Resource Center

Showing that they have more than just strong muscles, six competitors including Charleston's own Phil Pfister, 2006 World's Strongest Man, stopped by the East End Family Resource Center Thursday afternoon to spend some time with kids from at the local after-school program. The athletes mingled with the youth for a good while and then answered their questions and shared some of their personal experiences and advice for how to accomplish your goals and attain your dreams. The men were great with the children who were clearly thrilled to meet the athletes. After sharing their insights the athletes signed autographs and posed for pictures for every child attending. They also signed shirts, hats, water bottles and other giveaways for the East End Family Resource Center staff to use as incentives for the youth during their ongoing activities at the center. The athletes are in town for the 2008 Met-Rx World's Strongest Man competition, which begins on Saturday. Today's ...
