Despite living out in the country south of Fort Smith for the first 19 years of my life, I ve never had much of a Southern accent. That came in handy for what I intended to do (broadcast news) since at that time TV and radio journalists were advised to have a placeless Midwestern/basic American accent.
Time is weird. It crawls when you re doing something you don t want to do (especially if it s something you have to do, like register your car at the revenue office). When you re doing something you enjoy, it zips by.
One of the best ways to lose your faith in humanity is to check social media after a notable public figure has announced a health struggle. Sure, you re free to say just about anything (as long as it s legal and follows the terms of service wherever it s posted), but should you, really? You can t find some compassion in your heart for a fellow human?
