Nuns and Doo-Wop
It's always fun to attend a play or a concert at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. So it made it doubly fun to be able to attend opening night of the award-winning play "Sister Act," direct from Broadway.

Kissing the Blarney Stone : The silent majority speaks up
This past weekend good friends Mike and Sherry Scott and my wife Molly and I took a little trip into history.
I went cold turkey on O.J. coverage

Children of Eden musical good for the whole family
It still amazes me that in our area there is a community theater that is as spacious and well run as any professional theater in a major city. Social Circle is the home of this special theater.
