Fans of Mellow Mushroom’s beer menu have lost an outlet to express their enthusiasm, at least in Alabama. The state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board recently informed the Atlanta-based pizza chain that its beer clubs program goes against state rules governing the sale of alcohol. David...
Simple Respect by JohnBagwell

Respect is something we usually understand best when its missing.  When its missing, it is obvious because we feel, in our bones, disrespected.  You know what I mean.  Its usually a comment someone makes or maybe some action.  Its not the exact words they say, it is how they say them.  Its the ...

OK, Calhoun County beer fans, I need a little help here. I'm working on a piece about the larger-size bottles that became legal in Alabama back on Aug. 1, and I need to know what you've seen for sale in our area. I know I've seen Back 40's Freckle Belly IPA and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in 22-ounce ...

My first introduction to leadership, what it is, what it isn't, and how it affects people and situations around the world came through several books I read by John Maxwell.  I have read many other authors since then, but a couple of my favorites by John Maxwell are "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of L...

Ever get up to leave a room to go get something only to get where you know you were going and forget what it was you went in there for?  Mildly frustrating would be one way I would describe it.  I'm standing there in the room.  I know I'm here to get something, and yet it is as though whatever ...

HOT BLAST: A little sports advice for Gov. Bentley

Dear Gov. Robert Bentley,

If asked to name your favorite sports team, do NOT follow the lead of this Republican governor.

Politico reports on this comment from Chris Christie: "My favorite football team is not the New York Giants. It’s not the New York Jets. And it’s not the Philadelphia Eagles. No, get ready now. My favorite football team are the Dallas Cowboys.”

Did we mention Christie is the governor of New Jersey. That would be like the governor of Alabama saying his favorite team was Notre Dame.
