One food blog that I just love
Admittedly, a book is much more likely to be in the hand than a mouse, especially at home. But there is a blog that an old friend writes that I've come to love reading, and look forward to her observations. It reveals and reminds me of her true nature, as ...
This kind of pressure I can handle
Tired of yelling, "Turn off the washer, honey — I need to take a shower"? If so, chances are you live in Weymouth Heights in Southern Pines, or in some other elevated area that has municipal water but is cursed with anemic water pressure. My wife and I put up ...
Tiger will rebound
I played golf on Sunday at Oak Valley GC in Winston-Salem, a Palmer course. Met my best golfing buddy there for a round. It didn't take long in the cart before the subject of Tiger came up. Jeff is more interested in the PGA tour than I am, and was ...
Good eats in Raleigh
If you are in Raleigh and looking for a great dining experience, look no further than downtown at Caffe Luna at 136 E. Hargett St., on the corner of Hargett and Blount. A recent trip to the offices of the News & Observer offered an opportunity to get a bite, ...

Arcade Fire: YouTube event and the new album
So I've put off a but from posts in general, but also a review of the new Arcade Fire album. Part of that is because I plan to write about the album in full for the next month's PineBuzz, but I thought talking about it by covering the live YouTube ...
SCC tourney deserves "Major" consideration
The Sandhills Community College's annual scholarship golf tournament was once again a great success, thanks to the hard work of a lot of people. For those of us who are lucky enough to play in these kinds of events, the SCC/Coke event is one of the best anywhere. Played on ...
Days 6 - 10
On Saturday, I visited the American Indian Village where there were various historical re-enactments. On Saturday, we also attended another arena event to celebrate the 100th anniversary of boy scouting. First, we saw a video message from President Obama. Next, Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs made a guest appearance. He ...
Day 4 and 5
We had rain and thunderstorms on Thursday, but that did not stop us from having a great time. I continued to work on my fly fishing merit badge and tried my skill at the shotgun range. Friday, I participated in a military simulator program. There were all kinds of different ...
Day 3
On Wednesday, there was an arena event with various special guests. Robert Gates, the Secretary of Defense and an Eagle Scout, spoke to us about holding oneself to high standards and being a leader. There were also appearances by the OA National Chief Brad Lichola, Chief Scout Executive Bob Mazzuca, ...
Day 1 and 2
The first couple of days were awesome! It seemed like this time would never get here. I actually began preparing for this trip in 2008. So, for over two years now I have been busy planning and getting ready for this memorable event and it has already been well worth ...
Did they arrest him or what?

Still Searching
We still haven't found our little pug Gracie, but we continue to search. We have passed out countless flyers and talked to a lot of people, but nothing has yet resulted in us finding her. We've had a couple of reports of a dog matching her description being seen in ...
Departure to the Jamboree
We left Raleigh at 7am on Monday morning. Once we arrived in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, we joined more than 38,000 Boy Scouts and 3,700 adult leaders. Attendees came from all over the United States and from various countries around the world as well. Our first task was to set ...
Chelsea's Silver Wedding Bells
Well, I guess I missed the real Chelsea Clinton. I think of has as a young girl growing up in the swirl of the Clinton years, and then again standing at her mom's side on the campaign trail, her father nowhere is sight. She was always kind of plain, and ...
