1) It's only football!!
If you live in TN, you have heard nothing except the news that Univ. of TN football coach Lane Kiffin leaving his post abruptly to coach at USC. They even had one of those "Breaking News" stories during the prime time hour. I was expecting some news about the earthquake in Haiti, but no it was about a football coach leaving his job. I mean, really, let's get our priorities straight. But, well, I guess, that's how you know you're living in the South.
2) Paper Clips
An amazing movie!! If you can get your hands on this little movie, do!! It is a great and inspiring story about a little town in TN. They wanted to teach their middle school kids about the Holocaust and what evil can come out of hatred and intolerance. The kids had a hard time conceiving the sheer number of people that died, and so they thought of collecting 6 million things, which ended up being 6 million paper clips. Just amazing what they did in this project. If you are a teacher, get this for your class. I cried throughout the whole movie. Just when you think you've made a judgment about the South, this story changes your opinion.
