Well, I wont be going to @grillmarks ever again. Service was horrible, the burgers were too expensive and tasted of propane. Yuck.

I seem to have re-injured my Achilles tendon. I guess I shouldn't try to dance like @MCHammer while cooking.

I'd much rather see Dr. Oz hosting a game show than doling out bad medical advice. #Jeopardy

Website Updates

Over the weekend I made some changes to the website, which I hope will improve the reading experience for everyone. About a year ago I had a hack attack on the site. I was able to get things mostly restored, but there were still some issues. Comments were the biggest problem. Visitors weren’t able to leave comments and would get an error message. That has now been fixed. you can now leave…

Orphaned Graveyard - South Saluda Baptist

Orphaned Graveyard – South Saluda Baptist

One of the orphaned graveyards on my list belonged to the South Saluda Baptist Church in northern Greenville County. The church was located in what is now the Tall Pines Heritage Preserve. I visited this site two years ago, in February of 2019. At that time we found the graveyard in terrible disarray, with several of the headstones covered by fallen trees and debris. I haven’t had a chance to…

“Today I don my black concert mask and play the banjo for a friend’s funeral.” Five years ago I couldn’t imagine stringing those words together in the same sentence. The world has become strange, indeed.

Orphaned Cemeteries - Old Salem Methodist Church

Orphaned Cemeteries – Old Salem Methodist Church

https://flic.kr/p/2hP4c94 Salem United Methodist Church sits prominently on White Horse Road, right where it intersects with I-185 on the west side of Greenville. The church has a history with our family. From 1963 until 1976 its pastor was the Rev. Bill Cooke. My brother, Stephen, and Bill’s daughter, Cynthia Cooke were married in the church in the late 1970s. Apart from the Cooke connection I…

The Orphaned Graveyards of Greenville County

The Orphaned Graveyards of Greenville County

Humans are weird. At least in our western culture, they expect that a sixteen square foot plot of land will be aside for them in perpetuity, to be held sacrosanct as a memorial of their existence. It seems that over the generations we would eventually run out of land for burials. Perhaps that’s one reason why cremation and other alternative burials are gaining popularity. Even so, old cemeteries…
