I Heart Appalachia: All I Wanted for Christmas Was a Big Red Bike

http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/12/all-i-wanted-for-christmas-was-big-red.html

Wednesday, December 1, 2010. All I Wanted for Christmas Was a Big Red Bike. The first Christmas that I can remember well was the Christmas of 1965. I would turn four just a month later, and I had asked Santa for a bicycle. A red bicycle. After a growth spurt in the summer of 1965, my tricycle had lost all appeal. Besides, I was certain that I could climb on a bike and just ride- without any instruction. It was my destiny. That night, all snuggled in my bed and dre. He's yelling at Santa, I thought! Parts...

I Heart Appalachia: February 2011

http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 20, 2011. Our Polluted Appalachian Mountain Home. Mountaintop removal is a technique used by coal-mining companies that involves blasting away the tops of mountains and hills to get to the coal seams beneath. Back when I was a reporter for the Bristol Herald Courier. If you love the Appalachian region, I recommend reading a very interesting op-ed piece. Titled "My Polluted Kentucky Home" from The New York Times. And here's another article, EPA Study Confirms Damage From Strip Mining.

I Heart Appalachia: Is this Why Celtic Music Makes My Heart Sing?

http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-this-why-celtic-music-make-my-heart.html

Friday, May 21, 2010. Is this Why Celtic Music Makes My Heart Sing? For as long as I can remember, Celtic music has made my heart "sing." I feel every note from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.and deep inside my heart. When it's a slow tune, my emotions ebb and flow with the emotional story the ballad tells. When it's a fast tune, my feet don't want to be still. Celtic music calls to me because it's part of my heritage, and something deep down inside recognizes the connections.

I Heart Appalachia: Appalachia Defined

http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2009/12/appalachia-defined.html

Wednesday, December 23, 2009. A West Coast friend who just read my blog asked: So.what exactly is Appalachia? You know the old adage about "assuming," right? Obviously, this is a question that I should have answered in my first I Heart Appalachia blog. To help with the explanation, I surfed to the Web site for an important commission that was formed in 1963 to advise President John F. Kennedy and was established as a federal agency. The Appalachian Regional Commission. In 1965, one in three Appalachians ...

I Heart Appalachia: It Was Good

http://iheartappalachia.blogspot.com/2010/11/it-was-good.html

Wednesday, November 24, 2010. I had the pleasure and privilege to grow up on a farm in Southwest Virginia. In point of fact, I was pretty much just 'across the ridge' from the creator of this blog for all my formative years and didn't even realize it. Neither did I fully realize at the time how privileged I truly was, nor how intense the pleasures were while growing up. I was privileged that I had excellent role models in learning how to work and how to live. Work worth doing was worth doing well&#46...
