For more on the great show at the Jepson on Friday night that’s the culminating event of TEDxCreativeCoast, check out my column today, the great piece in last week’s Connect Savannah by Bill DeYoung, or Bill’s excellent interview with Givers…
I’ve been a huge fan of modern dance for many years — and I’m sorry that one consequence of living in Savannah is the relative rarity with which major companies are anywhere in the vicinity. So it was really nice…
Thanks to Peach Pundit for their post regarding a recent poll gauging support for Sunday alcohol sales in Georgia. As most of you presumably know, local municipalities in Georgia now have the right to vote at the polls on whether…

I admit to being totally fascinated the last few days by accounts of the espionage work (the nearby house used to stakeout the compound, the methods used to track down the courier, etc.) that ultimately brought down Osama Bin Laden…
First let me share a bit of completely unintentional irony. As some of you know, I’m president of the board of the Flannery O’Connor Childhood Home (term expiring this summer). The board members coordinating our spring lectures asked me to…
Several times in the last month or so, I’ve searched some online databases to try to figure out who SCAD has booked for this year’s New Alumni Concert, traditionally held on the Friday before graduation. Sometimes I locate the news…
