Police in North Carolina have arrested, in the past 24 hours, two suspects alleged to have murdered the late UNC Student Body President Eve Carson last week. Thus begins what I’d like to call the Second Tragedy of the Eve Carson case.
The first tragedy is quite clear to us all. A beautiful, young woman, with [...]
Well, today I finished my final paper for the semester ending my first semester here in seminary officially. It’s strange to think that I am now 12 hours into my seminary career and I can burst my own bubble to think I still have 84 more hours to go for the MDiv.
After writing more papers [...]
After 11 years in the journalism field starting as sports clerk for the Register-Herald, the journey ends tomorrow afternoon at the close of business. It’s been a great ride and I’ll offer more of my perspectives on this leg of my journey later. However, I wanted to share my final column for my current company, [...]
It’s 91 degrees in beautiful Chapel Hill today. The heat index is somewhere near my average golf score. As soon as I walk out of the office, sweat begins to pour out like I’m looking at a no hitter with only one out. Whoops, all apologies to Curt Shilling.

CHAPEL HILL – Purnell Swett has a decision to make, and members of the State [...]
We’ve all had part-time jobs throughout our lives.
The worst, for me, was trying to get people to do surveys at Cary Town Center Mall when I first moved to the Triangle area. The best was working for my local newspaper in West Virginia in the sports department. It was a job that birthed my love [...]
A little bit of randomness before I decide to head off and get ready for a day that includes count it four legislative meetings. Perhaps Thomas Paine was also thinking of my schedule when he said “These are the days that try men’s souls.”
But at the end of the day includes West Virginia taking on [...]
I have a new found respect for marathon runners.
At this weekend’s Relay for Life event, I in essence did a half marathon walking somewhere between 13 to 16 miles, closer to the 15 or 16 side. We lost count of the number of laps, and just went with time, divided by 5 minutes per lap, [...]
For the second time this season, West Virginia and North Carolina State will meet on the hardwood. This time things are a little different. West Virginia comes into the game still irked at not being included in the NCAA tournament, though as we have discussed here before the Mountaineers probably didn’t earn the spot in [...]
