CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

Well...that last line in the previous blog is rather prophetic. Change does catch up to us all. Some of you know this, and some of you don't....but in September, I will be leaving Tennessee for the land of the Bulldogs---Georgia. Or, as my favorite author / humorist, the late Lewis Grizzard would say "By Gawd Georgia."

For those that might be surprised about this move, let me fill you in. My wife has been offered a job there---a really good job---one that offers--among other things--health insurance. We've been without it since 2007....Simply put, you need it.

So, it's a great opportunity for our family. At the same time, there just might be an opportunity for me---but I'll tell you more about that later. One thing is for sure, I still plan on writing, and doing as many interviews as I can. Granted, driving to Nashville in 90 minutes might not be as easy, but there is a certain thing called the telephone...So, still plan on getting those e-mails about new articles from yours truly. I love what I do too much to stop, and after all Nashville is still 90 minutes away---via airplane!

This is something that we have known about, or at least knew was a possibility since March. And, I think for a lot of reasons, it's for the best....but after I hosted the Cougar Coaches Show this morning on 94.5 FM, it hit me...two more weeks....I plan on doing the first two football games, and first three coaches shows before wrapping it up. Dickson County High School, and the people associated with it, are very special to me. As are the sponsors we have worked with....I want to thank Paul Sullivan at Dickson Farmers Co-Op and Vance Kirby at Domino's for sticking with me one last time! Your friendship and support mean a lot!

I still will be involved with the Cougars' broadcasts, as I plan on continuing my "Football Friday" picks at halftime via tape, so I won't be totally gone for a while. I'll probably blog again about my experiences doing sports in Dickson County, but I wanted to let everyone know....because I know how people whisper sometimes....

Once again, musically, I am not going anywhere, and plan to keep writing for the music magazines that I have in the past. I am excited about the future, and hope to tell you more about that soon....Let's just say that it could be pretty big....but it's going to be big for us all....Shannon has worked hard for this.....

So....does anyone know anybody who can help load a U-Haul, and maybe drive one?....I'm listening!
