The Hoover Bucs have made it to the state championship game. One more victory means a fourth consecutive title and ring.
OMG, who cares?!? What about Alex and Kristin? Are they like broken up or what? The final game, the final parting shots, the final ridiculous hairstyles, all on part one of the season finale of “Two-a-Days.” [recap of part two]
Fall season puts me
to sleep with clones of clones of
hits from last season.

Your first words.
Your first kiss.
Your first blog.
Friday marked the one-year anniversary of Wade on Birmingham. (Had I checked the calendar more closely, I would’ve realized that sooner, and marked this momentous occasion appropriately. Instead, it’s one year plus three days.)
I used to be a media whore, but now I’m a new media whore. Or a whore of new media, as it were.

Let us give thanks for friends, for family, for victory over our enemies. Let us give thanks for Hoover Bucs football, for coaches who still love their mamas and meemaws and for hot cheerleader girlfriends and their hotter squadmates.
Let us give thanks for the very special Thanksgiving edition of “Two-a-Days.” Amen.
I’m not sure if I
can be the guy who I want
to be in my heart.

Ah, September. The weather turned cooler, as did all things Birmingham. We’re happy to take one last look at the best that 30 days hath, um, hath.
