I attended a screening of the movie Spotlight last week. When it comes out Friday, please go see it. It's not a smash bang Bond or Jurassic Park or a superhero action flick, but you could argue that the real life Boston Globe reporters the movie is based on were superheroes for uncovering and stopping an …
The downward spiral of the Georgia football offense and season continued in an underwhelming performance against rival Florida. I did something for the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party that I’ve never done this year. Hell, I had never done this for any WLOCP. I stayed at home and watched alone. I figured if Richt …

Georgia football fans showed up for homecoming Saturday and a soccer match broke out. This game was all about throwback. The score, my location… I thought it fitting that I spent two hours at Arlington Cemetery pregame. I found myself back in Washington DC where I lived right after I graduated from UGA. Four months …

Knoxville became heart break city on many levels for the Georgia football team Saturday. Our season slipped through the SEC East standings like the ball going through Reggie Davis‘ hands on 3rd and 9. Whatever disease Tennessee has to give up big leads, we caught it in Knoxville.

I also love watching college marching bands, and think it is one of the features that makes college football so unique. I usually stay post-game to watch the Redcoats perform. Watching …

A cheap seats review of Georgia football’s blowout of South Carolina reveals a new tailgate game and a seemingly new Dawg quarterbac Walking around campus, I saw a few Gamecocks scattered here and there, wearing their finest in garnet and black. The atmosphere felt subdued compared to previous years’ match-ups between Spurrier’s Cocks and the …

I wrote this Sunday morning before watching Episode 7.10 - The Forecast. We've met some great characters in the Mad Men world, like Peggy, who transformed from the shy secretary to an independent woman and bold copywriter. And you can't forget Sally, who I first thought would become a mini- Betty, but we see her identifying with her …
I am a cynical romantic. I think celebrating Valentine's Day is ridiculous, because the person I love will know that everyday, and I don't have to show it. I am a sucker for romantic comedies, and cry every time James Garner tells Gena Rowland that they are indeed husband and wife. My heart leaps whenever …
For the same reason I despise Hallmark holidays when you are expected to profess your love, when you should do it everyday, I loathe New Years resolutions, because you shouldn't wait to make those resolutions; fulfill them when you think of it, whether it is January 1 or September 14. And speaking of Hallmark Holidays, I saw …
