We’re living in a completely different world than we were just a few months ago. As the coronavirus has spread throughout the country, we’ve had to disrupt our schedules by working from home and sheltering in place. Change is difficult for most people, but at least we’re all doing it together.
This Georgia State Senator beat coronavirus. Now, as doctors and scientists around the world are working to develop a vaccine, Dr. Lester Jackson's working for a cure at a local biotech company — and their solution may surprise you.
Monday 5 Things…..What?..... Sitting properly socially distanced, I thoroughly enjoyed a proper Australian brunch at Collins Quarter this past Saturday. I was thankful that my friends Anthony and Rebecca Debreceny (along with other restauranteur friends of whom I am anxiously…
Monday 5 Things…..Of Remembrance….. Last week I did something I haven’t done since moving to Savannah. I walked around the 30 acres of Forsyth Park and took a very close look at the monuments in the park that are devoted…
Monday 5 Things…..Epidemics….. “Get back here right now or you’re going to get Covide!” I couldn’t believe my ears. The grandfatherly man yelled this at two exuberant boys as they laughed and ran down the hallway of an empty Oglethorpe…
Monday 5 Things…..Thank You Mom….. I took a very long drive leaving the house well before dawn and returning home well after dark. I was disgusted with the media yelling over each other and couldn’t listen to the news. Music…
Monday 5 Things…..Of M’s….. Whether taking spirited or at times somewhat slower drives, sitting at home, or on a park bench, this morning’s M5T is a culmination of thoughts I’ve had while reflecting on the speed at which change has…
Monday 5 Things….Think, Again….. Thinking. We have all had a lot more time to think as we have been under ‘house arrest’ for the past few weeks. Re-re-re-re reading Atlas Shrugged, I was triggered by a quote from Dagny Taggert…
Monday 5 Things…..One Year….. With all things COVIDE consuming us, I nearly missed a sad anniversary last week. The fire at Notre Dame was just over a year ago. One year. How fast the world has changed in a year.…
Monday 5 Things…..Promises….. Yesterday, for possibly the first time ever, Easter around the world was not celebrated in churches. This may not be much of a big deal for many who attend ‘The Church of C&E” - The Church of…

Monday 5 Things…..The Sun Still Rises…… I was thankful that the beaches re-opened up this weekend with the conditions of social distancing of six feet and groups no larger than ten people. Given I pulled into the Tybee Island Beach…
Monday 5 Things…..Distanced….. I went to Sam’s Club a week ago and was fascinated with (a) the number of empty shelves in each aisle; (b) the nasty nature of people trying to get the last few available packages of TP…
Monday 5 Things…..Stoic….. Well. Here we all are in the middle of COVID-19. If ever there was needed a time to keep a clear head it’s now. I have been torn this past week on whether to pen a lighthearted M5T…
Monday 5 Things…..Postponed….. Today’s M5T would normally celebrate all things Padraig, but alas, the venerable 196th St. Patrick’s Day parade has been cancelled in Savannah. My guard-moose, Mountie, (pictured here) managed to buy the last face mask in the Lowcountry…
The start of a new year is the ultimate call for revisiting your old ways and coming up with new habits to better yourself. Sure, the age-old adage “new year, new me” has transformed into a bit of an annual…
Monday 5 Things…..Shrugged Again….. I’ve decided to read more books this year. I read a fair amount, but for well over a decade, my reading has been electronically, starting with a Kindle, then to my iPad, and finally to my…
Monday 5 Things…..…..What’s In A Number?….. Last week in Savannah, I once again had the privilege to attend the ‘Tak Argentinis Valor Awards’ with the ‘Two Hundred Club of the Coastal Empire’. Each year, Valor Awards are presented to First…
Monday 5 Things…..T-I-DOUBLE-G-ER….. As I waited for colleagues to arrive for a dinner meeting last week, I interloped on a conversation (which has become more of a sport for me after years of active listening to other tête-à-têtes) between two…
Monday 5 Things…..Big Buts….. There are big butts, but there are even larger, and more ominous, buts in life. In his catchy 1992 ditty, Sir Mix-a-Lot professed his affection for larger derrieres. At this point, I shall entreat your forgiveness…
Monday 5 Things…..No Loss of Words….. Mark Twain wrote that “Repartee is something we think of twenty-four hours too late.” Frustrated with a mild case of a loss of words from writer’s block in a week that simply just got…
Monday 5 Things…..Deliberate….. I’m often asked how I come up with M5T ideas each week. Some M5T’s come very quickly; sparked by someone I’ve met or a situation I’ve found myself in on any given week. Other M5T’s take longer…
Monday 5 Things…..Life is the Pits….. I had the privilege and elation to photograph Speedbourne Racing Services and the Ferrari of Atlanta Challenge race team this past weekend at the storied Daytona International Speedway and the Rolex 24 Hour race.…
Monday 5 Things…..A Dream….. In a day and age that is framed and fraught with destructive words, thoughts and deeds, I wonder what Martin Luther King Jr. would say today. Would his words even be heard? Would his dream be…
