WLAC: A Radio Station That Helped Change America

I am not sure when I first heard the 50,000 watt WLAC radio station in Nashville, TN. My best guess is about 1955 or 1956. I do know where: the upstairs bedroom of my very close cousins Ed and Tony. Ed was almost a year older than I was, and Tony was almost a year younger.

Enjoy Thanksgiving And This Fall Weather

The Golden Age Center is closed for Thanksgiving on the 23rd and 24th. So, we are not having our usual Bingo game, which is one of our popular activities, along with dominoes, shooting pool, and playing cards.

It is so hard to let go of the pain that I have been holding on to. Most of my life I have spent in my own little mental prison. I wake up every day and experience fear and self-loathing, and by the end of the day, I end up hating myself more than I did when the day started.

Sanity’s Last Stand

During the Covid pandemic, Mr. Right and I decided to postpone our winter snowbirding to southern Arizona and California for a few years. We’ve allowed time and the Vaccine to meld before traveling. Now, we’re ready for another adventure.

Things Changed, But Not For The Better
