Tales from the Delk Side. A creative outlet and soapbox whereby I have stuck my foot so far into my mouth, surely I have quashed any hopes of ever being elected to public office. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. It's official. I'm discontinuing this blog, as I've moved to a hyperlocal blog: www.lakelandlocal.com.

Wednesday, February 18, 2009. The Battle of the Bulge. The Battle of the Bulge is something I've fought nearly all of my adult life.

Tales from the Delk Side. A creative outlet and soapbox whereby I have stuck my foot so far into my mouth, surely I have quashed any hopes of ever being elected to public office. Thursday, February 19, 2009. Some Things Are Worth Repeating. I'm a writer. I'm comfortable with my style; my abilities. But sometimes, I read things like this and wish these were my words:.
