It’s been an interesting week in Watervalley. Chick McKissick’s daughter, Myla didn’t make it home from Knoxville last Friday. Myla’s an honor roll student in her Junior year. She also runs track for the Vols. Chick couldn’t be more proud. She left after class Friday afternoon and should have been home before eight. At nine […]
It’s been an interesting week in Watervalley… one with a rather curious ending. Christine has been attending several bridal shows in Nashville and candidly, she’s been rather secretive about the whole wedding plans. All I can say is, Boom! I couldn’t be happier. Early on I offered a few opinions about the big day. Dumb […]
In the summer of 1976 I returned home from my first year of college. During those months, America celebrated its bicentennial, CB radio’s were the rage, Viking I landed on Mars, Evita Peron was kicked out of Argentina, (you know..don’t cry for me), and a guy named Steve Jobs got the idea for his new […]
First of all, I want to make one thing clear. I don’t like people. Most of them, anyway. It’s not that I’m better than any of them, I just get tired of putting up with their foolishness. The good Lord said to love thy neighbor. I’m fine with that. But there’s not a single word […]
This last weekend I attended the Kentucky Book Fair in Frankfort. It was a bittersweet affair. These kind of events are exciting and fun but they can also be hard medicine.

A Cat Tale (The latest news from Watervalley.)
It should be noted that in ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped as kings and queens. Apparently, they haven’t forgotten this.
Facts and Fiction: (I don’t just make this stuff up.)
In my late teens I remember driving a country road out of Water Valley, Tennessee (the real one) up to Franklin, Tennessee in the next county. For a Middle Tennessee backroad, it bordered on bizarre. Around here we have rolling hills and ridges. Old backroads are rambling affairs; typically following the point of least resistance […]
