A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.
I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
The tree is up, as of last night. A little running up and down the attic ladder. A little music in the background. A little white wine. And behold!
Today's a busy day: church in the morning; getting ready to cross the mountains into North Carolina; a family gathering at 5:00; a return across the mountains to Cherokee for a midnight service; another return to NC. . . .
Merry Christmas!

Christmas! Busy, busy, busy...and worth it all! Merry Christmas to you and the family. Hope it's a restful and blessed time.
Sounds likes to much traveling for me, but to spend it with family, I'm sure it is well worth it. Thanks Michael for the wonderful song this morning, and hope you and Leesa have a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas Michael - and the rest of the Cody clan........
