A couple of weeks ago my family and I took off to Memphis, TN for a weekend getaway. We’d been there before, but the trip revolved around business and opportunities for sightseeing were limited. If you know anything at all about Memphis, you know that it is the home of the Lorraine Motel where Dr.... Continue Reading →
In the City: Braum’s Ice Cream & Burger Restaurant
A couple weeks ago, I dropped my second-born off in Kansas for college. In an effort to make the best of the long road trip, I tried to make an experience out of it. That meant that our dinner stop on the ride back to Atlanta needed to be unique. No fast food chains. Something... Continue Reading →
In The City: Hitch Restaurant
During one of our work trips last year, we passed by a restaurant called Treylor Park. Patrons were exiting the restaurant and at the same time I was commenting on how it looks like a great place to try for dinner. At that time, the people leaving began to rave about how good the food... Continue Reading →

In The City – Latitudes Bistro & Lounge

Why I Will Neva, Eva Spend Hours in a Hair Salon Again. Eva!
"So, the "me time" that we thought we were going to get turned out to be of low or poor quality. A total waste of time really." So, my sister was on her way to visit me last week and she didn't have time to make a hair appointment or know where to go, so... Continue Reading →
In The City – Augusta, GA
I have never had a reason to travel to Augusta, Georgia before last weekend. Besides a good friend moving there a few years ago, there was no other reason why I would make my way 2 hours east to get away from city life. However, last weekend, my 12 year old was competing in a... Continue Reading →
My birthday & Trayvon Martin
Below is an abstract from a paper I wrote back in 2012 while I was in graduate school. The paper was entitled, "Sheep Led to Slaughter: How the Trayvon Martin case embodies the symbolic messages of Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep." It will always serve as my tribute to Trayvon. If you don't know who... Continue Reading →
