Many of us remember the hit TV show “Friends.” It not only had incredible ratings when it was first aired, but 20 years after its finale, one can still find it on some channel every day.

Upstream or Downstream?
When I was young, all of the cool kids wore two different colored Izod shirts (one on top of the other). Later, Jams clothing was the rage.

Football is obviously loved, supported, and debated in the South. And what I find interesting is that we can learn a lot from the game. Consider … Continue reading Are You Ready for Some Football?
