If you were in Charlotte, I would tell you to go to Price’s Chicken Coop and order the fried chicken. Price’s is a great “hole-in-the-wall” place in downtown Charlotte. There’s no seating at Price’s, you just grab your box of chicken and go. In my opinion it’s not easy to excel at fried chicken, but […]

At long last, back from a four month hiatus, the blog returns…. It takes a truly remarkable topic to be the post after such a long lay off, and the Roast Grill is just such a topic. I had passed by the small, unassuming restaurant a number of times, but had never darkened the door. […]

Michael here… Today was my first experience with an Ash Wednesday service, and I found it to be meaningful and thought provoking. (I’m not Catholic, so the newness of the service allowed me to focus on the message more clearly.)The short phrase that was spoken as the sign of the cross was being marked on […]

There are literally thousands of movies released every year, and several thousand from the past that await viewing. In order to make sense out of that chaos, you need a plan and some basic rules on how to choose what movies you plan to watch. Two of my rules coincided in a movie that I recently viewed. […]

Michael here… Tony has said of me that I am unable to pass by a new or cool looking bakery or coffee shop, and sadly it’s true. This past weekend led me to Chapel Hill where I took my daughter and her friend our for her birthday. After a gut exploding dinner at Pepper’s Pizza […]

Michael here… It’s been a while between posts, but here goes…. I don’t know about you, but my life feels chaotic at times. What’s worse, there are periods when I really enjoy the chaos. I love having several things going at once, and the pressure that comes from needing to perform in a time crunch. […]

Michael here… The more I think about it, the more I think that Ben Affleck isn’t a horrible actor. I never really like him very much in what I see him in, but now I think that it’s just that there are two or three other actors in his movies that I like more, the same was true […]

Michael here… Tony and I hope to blog on a lot of the Oscar worthy movies before the awards come around. He tackled True Grit (which was amazing), I’m gonna review The King’s Speech. The King’s Speech takes on the true story of King George VI, who took his place on the throne due to his […]

Michael here… OK, we are only two blogs in to the new year and both have mentioned nude photos in some way, I am putting a stop to this madness! No more talk of nude photos…at least until the summer… A new year means a fresh start and for many of us it also means […]

Tony here: Like Michael, I am looking forward to a new year of thoughtful commentary on those things that make life more interesting. My faith comments have been sparse this past year so I plan to dedicate myself to a little more time on the subject. However, let’s start with a very serious topic. Michael […]
