A baby with ambition

Posted on February 7, 2014 By Brody No Comments on A baby with ambition

This column appeared in The Herald-Sun in February 2014: He sits on the runner rug in the dog trot. He’s taking a breather next to the windowed door that leads to the back stoop of our house in Watts-Hillandale. It’s been a long trip of about 30 feet from the crib in the bedroom into…

Saying so long to Bubba

Posted on February 2, 2014 By Brody No Comments on Saying so long to Bubba

The ram on the lam is out of the slam.

But the future, although brighter for Bubba now that he’s no longer attacking his own reflection in shiny Durham neighborhood cars or chewing shrubs, remains uncertain.

On Friday morning, bidders gathered on Dave Artigues’ farm in Rougemont to get a look at the celebrity sheep.

Not a goat, they quickly point out. In case any doubts existed before, Bubba the Goat on Twitter is an imposter.

We apologize for any identity issues or mental distress Bubba may have suffered from ever being labeled a goat.

This column appeared in The Herald-Sun in January 2014: It’s not that I hate doctors. Most of them seem like perfectly fine people. But I’m almost certain you’d never hear me utter anything like what my wife told the dental receptionist over the phone the other day: “Wes would love to see you at 11.”…

Worrying about the storms we can’t track

Posted on January 19, 2014January 19, 2014 By Brody No Comments on Worrying about the storms we can’t track

This column appeared in The Herald-Sun in January 2014: I was almost finished building the new toy box for John Michael last Saturday when our smartphones buzzed about a tornado warning in Durham. Soon, we found out that – although it’s not a comfortable fit for all involved – it’s possible to cram two adults,…
