It’s always late at night (it’s almost 3am now) that I miss Larry the most. It’s been less than a week, but reading a great blog post somewhere about an obscure Southern writer or statesman or chef and her or his connection to the Civil War or some county in Tennessee or Kentucky or [...]

My friend, classmate and Fraternity brother Andy Hoefer wrote this beautiful piece on Larry and his passing.
Andy is now the Marion L. Brittain Fellow at Georgia Tech’s School of Literature Communication and Culture and recently became a Ph.D. himself.

Watch this video and it might change your life…

You can find more about reactions to Pres Dunlap’s TED vid here.

My friend, mentor and hero Prof Larry McGehee does a weekly column called “Southern Seen.”  This week’s edition is a must read and tugs at your heart strings (especially if you know Larry and Betsy):
Betsy won her first round and stayed on for the second, both taped the same day. She won that one, too. [...]

This is why I went to Wofford College:

Um… yes.
I was fortunate enough to take a couple of courses on Shakespeare from the great Dr. John Cobb at Wofford College.  Prof Cobb was beyond phenomenal and his presentation of Shakespeare changed my life and helped me understand the power of word, language and literature.
Evidently that’s not the case for almost half of NC [...]
