We're in the middle of the always-somewhat-odd political convention season, in which true believers fire each other up, and most everyone else issues a collective yawn (and more strongly filters their Facebook feed). I don't mean to say that I don't care about...

Look, I don't know what a Pokemon is, but with the kind of summer that our nation and world has been having, I suppose I can understand the appeal of plugging into an alternate reality and hunting weird, imaginary creatures. With Baton Rouge (once again) in the...

I'm not sure there is much that I can add to the commentary surrounding the events of the past week. I'm a tax professional, and I've found it wise to "stay in my lane" during these kinds of events, while still caring deeply about it all. And so I'm grateful for the...

The period in which our founders wrote the Declaration of Independence seems like such a different world than does today here in Mobile -- and not simply because of the vastly different technological and lifestyle landscape (though that's certainly significant). As a...

The events of the past week or so have made some things clear, I think. There really are two different kinds of worlds ... well, perhaps more accurately, in this Internet Age, there are many little worlds that we can inhabit. And your state of mind really does get...

The basketball season is (finally?) over, and summer is officially here. For a "winter" sport, the NBA sure does hold on for a while ... but that Finals series sure was one for the ages, and what an emotional end for Lebron James and the city of Cleveland. Many...

How was your long weekend? Nice to have that kind of family time, yes? And, of course, it's sobering to remember the sacrifice made by so many of our Mobile area veterans (and those outside the Mobile area as well, of course!). It can be tempting for us to take a look...

As I was scanning the news this past week, and seeing the *continued* doom and gloom in our 24-7 world, the glut of "experts" who clamor for your inbox and your attention, and the unfortunate reality of our scattered, modern age ... well, I just thought you should...

There is more than one election in our future. Yes, many are already tired of the presidential electioneering (though, I must say, if it weren't for the fact that the next four years of our national direction were at stake, it would be much more entertaining than...

As we move into the fullness of spring here in Mobile, the nation seems to be holding its collective breath (and getting the popcorn ready) for what will prove to be a fascinating election cycle. I don't presume to have any foresight into the matter, butwhat I can...
