Each week, I’ll be grading Southern Miss overall performance the week prior every Monday.
Normally, that will include the full week: midweek games and the weekend series. Since the season started Friday, we’re working with just the three-game set against UC Santa Barbara this time.
And fair warning — these grades may feel tough.

In spite of the trendy push for using mostly native plants in our gardens, our backyards remain among the few places where few people pay much attention to country of origin; we happily grow plants from all over the world in close harmony.

There are places that Science Fiction takes you: the stars, distant planets, galaxies we never knew were in existence. Inside of those journeys, there is travel and there is even time travel. In other words, no boundaries exist for storytelling. So, the Fantasy side of SciFi relies upon the creation of what we will call an "alternate reality." In its sub genre Speculative Fiction, this phenomena often turns a mirror on the current ills of society. In Literature, you really cannot have an illness without some bout with horror.

Intention and innovation are around every corner at Mississippi’s first children’s museum.
There are certain places in Mississippi that don’t just hold space — they hold seasons of life.
Lynn Meadows Discovery Center in Gulfport is one of those places.
I used to take my sons there when they were little, in the days of snack cups and “Mama, watch this!”—a pure slice of motherhood.
