While I did not file to run this year for council or mayor, I am committing RIGHT NOW to a 2027 run, when I see less incumbency as an obstacle. So expect my face in way more places over the next 24 months and I hope to see you at the polls in 2027.

As the heatwave continues and people head to the pool, a very important point about drowning - the movies get it wrong. In real life, drowning can be silent. There's no splashing, waving, or yelling. That's why you have to always watch kids at the pool.

⚠️First Alert!⚠️ A quick run-thru my local @HarrisTeeter at 2pm & so far, #CLT shoppers are behaving nicely! No run on bread or milk in advance of Friday’s winter weather! Saw plenty of toilet paper too! 😂🍞🥛🧻⛄️#ncwx #cltwx #scwx @WBTV_News @wbtradio

Hard to believe @JHolmesLives is gone, & it's even harder to think I've only known him 4 years. Even though our time together was short, his legacy and his spirit has impacted me in a big way.
Here are 800 words for @yallweekly eulogizing my friend John.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.
I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.
To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏

Despite the current weather, #Helene-related dangers are still very much a factor in Western NC.
⚠️ ~300 road incidents remain - including +50 on main roads.
Please refrain from travel for non-emergency purposes.

There should be no confusion of a Watch vs a Warning with this example. A Watch the ingredients are there for something, A Warning it's there. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #WeatherAware

The Panthers game is on FOX 46. Getting this a lot. Won’t be on NFL Network in Charlotte.
