It was the deepest honor to announce February 12 as DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS DAY in Athens and honor the band from the stage of the Fabulous 40 Watt Club. LET THERE BE ROCK!
The best parts of judging another year of Plungefest for the Rotary Club of Athens were 1) hanging with Gaines Elementary student Brailan Henderson and 2) staying out of the water to competently perform my duties
Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"
Deeply grateful to spend time at the Winter Conferences of U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Mayors Innovation Project. From supporting our residents across the span of their lives, to supporting each other, to upholding our Constitution, it was a full and full-hearted week.
Stay safe out there, friends. Our crews, along with Georgia Power and others are mobilized and ready to assist. If at all possible, stay off the roads tonight and throughout the next two days.
In the same way that Zeppelin was blamed for loads of worthless Circus magazine bands, the Dead was light years ahead of so many swimming in their wake.
I saw two back-to-back shows in ‘91 that he opened with Hey Hey, My My. Whether then or at the Alpharetta show in ‘24, his guitar work slays me.

This week marks 30 years in Athens, when I moved into a little house on Church St open for whatever would come. My first long walk after arriving took me through Dudley Park. I’m walking through here again today looking forward to the next 30 years. Godspeed + love to you all ❤️
Come join hands tomorrow for kindness and human dignity.
Whether at the small town crossroads of Good Hope, Georgia with a thousand people gathered, or at a suburban parking lot outside Monroe, spending time near the monks on their Walk for Peace was the best way imaginable to begin 2026. More information at dhammacetiya.com/walk-for-pea...
Whether you want apple, pumpkin, or something stronger, our home wishes you the very merriest Christmas Eve ❤️
We couldn’t be more fortunate than to have Mike Thurmond running for Governor of Georgia. Mike knows clearly what life is like for Georgians across the state, and he knows the path to better jobs, education, healthcare and housing. #ilikemike
Love to Kay Giese’s family and friends this month upon her passing. She’ll bring a great sense of justice and grace to the great beyond, just as she brought to the courtroom as our former Municipal Court Judge.

Happy Thanksgiving Athens 🍁 It was wonderful to see nearly 900 of you out at this year’s 8k Turkey Trot benefiting the Athens Area Council on Aging. With the calories already burned, let’s go fill that plate…
Vintage pop-top can among the creek bed debris. Pulaski Heights denizens have enjoyed their watery domestic beverages for generations.
The College Square Plaza construction contract is on the Mayor & Commission Agenda for approval tonight 11/18/25. Can't wait to hear you sing on that stage ❤️
Little signs of warmth, beauty, humor, and exuberance all over Athens this weekend. And no matter what else is true, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave.
Lovely profile of Athens gem Dexter Weaver in today’s AJC. When I spoke with him a few weeks ago he mentioned the prospect of some long-deserved travel…I hope he gets to enjoy the sky and sea of our town’s Mediterranean namesake soon ❤️ www.ajc.com/news/2025/11...
I’d take a great set of records from S-K, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, Pavement, and Fugazi if they’re so inclined.
