| Still waiting |
| As you read this, somewhere in the world kids are waiting on the bell for recess or lunch. Somewhere parents are waiting in a long line of cars to pick up their kids after school. |

| Friday night flames |
| Noting that Greer High was kicking off its 90th football season last Friday, "Junior" Holder asked me what I remembered of the school's first game with Spartanburg Academy in 1921. |

| Making amends |
| Is there a better way to spend a Saturday than following your wife around one of the glitziest shopping districts outside of Fifth Avenue? |
|
| Have you ever noticed ... ? |

| The pill box |
| Every Monday night, I refill my pillbox, a ritual that I practice after finishing my work for the week at the newspaper. |

| Thank goodness there's no Global Warming |
| I am really relieved that there's nothing to Global Warming and Al Gore has been put in his place in the landfill of dinosaurs. |

| What's in your wallet? |
My garden may be dry as a bone, but oceans of rain continue to fall on my life. My back went out the other day as the result of sitting on my overstuffed billfold. No, I'm not flush with cash. My wallet is crammed with 75-80 plastic cards that smart? shoppers now must lug around.

| Wake me up when it's over |
I had never considered the possibility that anything worse than a kidney stone could spoil a day of my life. Until it happened last week when World Cup Soccer took over my favorite television channels, ESPN one and two. One soccer match after another amounted to wall-to-wall, non-stop boredom that ranks alongside watching paint dry.
