• Kenny Honeycutt's love for Bluegrass

  Country music was, is, and forever will be in the heart of Kenny Honeycutt, owner and operator of Tarboro's Piggly Wiggly.
  At the early age of 13, Honeycutt lovingly embraced the genre in a special way. He was a vocalist in The Honeycutts, a family gospel band, and explored a newfound interest in the acoustic guitar. His passion unraveled each time he watched his father play for hours in their home at Portsmouth, Va.

• Cheerwine and the Outer Banks ... oh, my

  I’ve already been told I need to declare, so I’ll tell you right now that my wife bleeds Carolina blue.
  Me? I’m more of a Mississippi State fan, myself, although if I had to pick a favorite in the ACC it would be Wake Forest from our days in Thomasville, over in the Triad.
  My career has been spent getting the word out to folks about things that were going on. I began at what really was called a cub reporter at my hometown Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville, Miss. and my first boss, Hodding Carter, III, currently serves as University Professor of Leadership and Public Policy at UNC-Chapel Hill.
  Since then, I’ve worked in half-a-dozen states, spending about 25 years in Texas. Along the way, I’ve covered a bit of everything — obits, weddings, elections, Little League, Babe Ruth, local, state and national politics and all things in-between, including Hurricane Katrina.

Food

• Great Pies

  Most everyone loves a good pie. But, everyone also has their own favorite. I love easy pies, both sweet and savory. What is your favorite pie?
  Our first recipe is an old family favorite. My aunt Daisy used to make the best sliced sweet potato pie. Our family really looked forward to her pies at family events and Thanksgiving.

• A cure for February blues

  For some people, the great excitement leading up to the holiday season gives the mind a point of focus away from the mental challenge of the short winter days.  While some call it depression, many refer to this winter phenomenon as seasonal affective disorder.
