It won several festival awards and many people have contacted me to ask how they can get their hands on a copy.  Unfortunately we can&#8217;t sell it, but [...]]]></description>

My office on the University of Alabama campus is near Bryant-Denny Stadium so I frequently park near the stadium.  As I was walking to my car not too long ago, a car stopped and a young man asked through the window, &#8220;Where can I go to see the coach?&#8221;  The young man was [...]]]></description>

It is a Ning.com group, a social networking site, devoted to the promotion of live blues music, something that I enjoy very [...]]]></description>

My workplace has had a lot of excitement lately.  Wendy Reed, whose office is right next door to mine, won an Emmy, and Dwight Cammeron, whose office is just across the hall, won a first place festival award.
The festival award came from the Urban Suburban Film Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the documentary, &#8220;Not [...]]]></description>
