One of my favorite TV shows of all time is Hill Street Blues. The show was ahead of its time and portrayed a grittier version of police in the city. Many, many shows later followed this concept, but Hill Street Blues was the first. Every show started with the policemen getting ready to go on… Read more »

One of my favorite games was 21, as we called it (probably known by most as black jack).… Read more »

Presents bring light and joy to everyone’s eyes. In the movie A Christmas Story, Ralphie, under severe duress, tells Santa he wants a football (instead… Read more »
In Appalachia, there are specific memories for many of us surrounding holidays and celebrations. One of those this time of year is homemade popcorn balls.
