Georgia is super state for markets
Web-posted 11/17/09
A lot of new grocery stores seem to be opening up around here, but we shouldn't be surprised. Georgia actually is one of the nation's leading states when it comes to supermarkets -- a 2008 Nielsen survey pegged the Peach State with 1,151.
Thanksgiving makes us grateful for calendar
Web-posted 11/15/09
Thanksgiving's coming up, and I'm getting out the schedule books, the calendar and last year's diaries.
Maybe third time's the charm for 13th
Web-posted 11/13/09
I know today is Friday the 13th, but the chances of you having a bad day over a good day are statistically 50/50 -- the same as they were on Thursday the 12th.
Flat tire not enough to get some sympathy
Web-posted 11/10/09
There's like some law in the universe where, if you make fun or tease someone about something, the same thing will happen to you. Soon.

Web-posted 11/08/09
A week ago today they told us we were gaining time. Daylight saving time was handing us our annual fall gift: One hour -- 60 free minutes.

Augusta doesn't have a real ghost story
Web-posted 11/01/09
Last night's Halloween and today's All Saints "Day of the Dead" always seem to inspire stories of the mysterious and unexplained, but as one historian told me Friday, the Garden City lacks a signature ghost story.
Tricks to making Halloween a treat
Web-posted 10/30/09
Hold on, man. We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title.
Little dog sniffs out big insult
Web-posted 10/27/09
I'm in the doghouse. Sort of. You see I was one of the judges Sunday at the CSRA Humane Society's annual Pet-A-Fair. My expertise was vital in judging the Halloween costumes worn by the dog and cat companions of the 200 or so people gathered at the Julian Smith Casino.
I don't know Jack when it comes to pumpkins
Web-posted 10/25/09
Sometimes traditions just aren't worth it.
