DME:

As a cameraman, Jasper native Brack Bradley has filmed some of the most popular shows on television.

He’s captured emotional highs and lows on ABC’s “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.”

He’s captured the fury of Chef Gordon Ramsay on FOX’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares.”

Despite those past experiences, Bradley, a 1998 Walker High School graduate, could have never dreamed up his latest filming foray — The Discovery Channel’s “Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment.”

“Hey, Landon. I love your blog! I read it everyday!”

Sorry. You’re wrong. There are hundreds of blogs better than mine. I read them. You should too. And you should start your own, today.

It’s easy. You just start a blog. Take your time. Avoid burn-out. Realize that only 3 people are going to read it for the first week… 2 of those people will be your parents.

Start a blog. Post the link in the comments section below, or email it to me.

Seattle to New Orleans to Hattiesburg to New Orleans to Hattiesburg to Jasper to Hattiesburg to Jackson to Hattiesburg to New Orleans to Seattle.

…our travels over the last 9 days. Somebody calculate those miles and I’ll give you a cookie.

Is it stupid to drive 2 1/2 hours to Portland just to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings? That’s exactly what we did over the weekend with our friend Kim and Colin who were craving the wingsbeersports as much as we were.

For all that Seattle has in unique, can’t-get-them-anywhere-else-in-the-world food, it lacks in chain eateries beloved by the majority of Americans (see: Chick-fil-A, Waffler House, Cracker Barrel, Sonic) as well as Buffalo Wild Wings.

Seeing the BWW was a staple in my weekly diet during college (weird that Mississippi has something Seattle doesn’t… silly treehuggers and their tofu) it’s been pretty difficult to live without for the past 26 months. So when we discussed the fact that Portland has three (3!) in their metro area, the weekend road trip was inevitable.

God bless Buffalo Wild Wings.

A very tough week for the Pinelake Church community: Steve Goff died unexpectedly last Friday while visiting family in Colorado.

Steve is the father of Ashleey Goff Pettus, wife of Jonathan Pettus. Both are MC alumnus and are close friends of mine.

Just in case you were left out of the loop: former BSU director Christy Carley and former student/recruiter Michael Pritchard.

Here are the photos from the talented Robby Followell.

Those who are friends with Karen Ray (Executive Director at The Republican Party of Arkansas) on Facebook should tune in to her Mobile Photo Uploads. All during the convention (even as the speeches were running) Ray uploaded live shots from what looks like Row 3 of the Convention floor.

Blog reader and blogger himself, Josh Kyle got engaged over the weekend.

Blog reader and energy expert, Drew Thornley had his quotes as the centerpiece of an article at the top of the Drudge Report yesterday.

(For those not in the know: the Drudge Report receives almost 20 million hits per day.)

Blog reader and blogger Paige DeAngelo went to a taping of Late Night with Conan O’Brien on Monday.

View it here for free (July 7 show) over the next 24 hours.

(Paige, I’ll have to admit my attention span is shorter than a 8-year-old with ADHD and a mouth full of sugar… did you get on TV?)

“The wreckage is contained in one spot. All of the major components of the airplane are intact,” Rayner said. “The plane came down in wooded terrain, and the damage to the trees is limited to the area directly above the wreckage and there is no evidence of a pre-crash or post-crash fire.”

“The investigation will probably take about a year to complete.”

TCA does an incredible job of keeping us posted as to the ongoings of college buddy and Clinton, Mississippian, Ted DiBiase Jr.

Teddy made his WWE debut a couple of weeks back. The Clinton News did a write-up on him a few days back. Here’s a couple of videos TCA recently posted:

Blog reader and Obama supporter McKenzie Givhan gave birth to a healthy baby boy Kohen Everett Mason yesterday at 2:41 - 8.9 oz.

MC alumni and good friend David Ash and his wife Susannah gave birth to a baby boy yesterday: Solomon Thomas Ash

TCA points us to the new website of the son of the Million Dollar Man and an old college friend from MC, Ted DiBiase Jr.

Yesterday’s post brought back some memories. Let’s see if yours serves you correctly.
