The Armstrong Clan’s 2007 Christmas Photo Tybee Island, Ga. — On June 1st, 1994 I started ARMSTRONG and Associates. Two years later Kay joined the business. We have been blessed ever since and for that we are very grateful and thankful. How did I arrive at such a life changing decision? To that point in […]

Stimpy enjoys the sun at Tybee Island as Little Bit provides guard services. Thanks to all of you who have contacted me about Stimpy and for your prayers. Stimpy is resting very comfortably today. I did have to give him a med during the night as he became quite restless. The biopsy should be back […]

Stimpy sporting his shaved leg and at rest on his rug at Tybee Island. Tybee Island., Ga. — I broke down and went with Kay to pick up Stimpy from having his biopsy. I am glad that I did. The folks at the Greater Savannah Animal Hospital could not have been nicer or more courteous […]

Tybee Island, GA — My heart aches so much today. Most of you know if you have read this blog in the past, that Stimpy, my wolf/husky mix and I are tightly bonded. And most of you know that I am a pragmatic and realize as my dear friend Bert told me many years ago […]

Tybee Island, GA. — Every now and then in your life you come across someone that you just know instanteously is going to be a friend. Someone who you realize shares instinctively similar values for God and Country, believes that most politicians are simply out to feather their own nests, and who likes dogs and […]

Tybee Island, Ga. — A blog can be very therapeutic. So it is with this entry. I believe there are “givers and takers” in this world. My Mother was a “giver”.Thanksgiving and Christmas were my Mother’s two favorite times of the year. My earliest remembrances of both actually come from the days when we lived […]

Tybee Island, GA. — “Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice.” Mr. Charlie Maxwell died Saturday November 24th. He was in my estimation the only Father I knew that had a truly remarkable relationship with one of his son — my friend and “brother” Bob […]

Tybee Island, Georgia — The sun has hidden itself behind gray clouds and there are periodic sprinkles of rain yet I could not be more thankful this Thanksgiving. We had a good deer hunt at the farm this year. Marvin got him a 9 point buck. Two new and dear friends Bill and Matt got […]

It’s cold in Kentucky tonight. But it is a comfortable 101 degrees in the hot tub. I have just come in from sitting out there looking at the stars and enjoying the crispness of the approaching winter and enjoying a Bourbon on the rocks. Lake Barkley is quiet tonight. The Interstate is also quiet. Sometimes […]

I felt sorry for Hillary RODHAM Clinton last night. She got BOMBED from all sides. It was not a pretty sight. Her attempts to stay with her briefing book answers tangled her up and today her inner circle even says that “Gentle Ben” Tim Russert was “belligerent and unfair” to her. If I didn’t know […]

When I was a child my parents tuned into the Porter Wagoner Show every evening at 6:30 p.m. on Channel 6 in Paducah, Ky. We sat in front of a black and white Zenith and listened to him and Dolly Parton sing their country music. Well, Mr. Porter has died at age 80. He had […]

I saw Mitch Albom, the author of Tuesdays with Morrie, yesterday and it prompted me to think about the people in my life (other than my parents) that helped me grow up and that I want to thank for all their assistance in making me who I am today. Some have already passed on, unfortunately, […]

IRAQ – Isn’t it interesting that we now see the surge working in Iraq (civilian deaths down 70% plus; military deaths down 50%) that the House of Representatives wants to throw mud into the face of our ally Turkey by passing a resolution supporting the use of the word “genocide” as it relates to the […]

Eddie Mannis, owner of Prestige Cleaners in Knoxville is one special fellow and I am convinced there will be a special place in Heaven for him. This past weekend Kay and I were honored to be “guardians,” who escorted WWII veterans on a US Air charter flight to Washington, D.C. to see the WWII memorial. […]
