True Gris

Using the rich detail and warm humor that has made him a popular and well-respected columnist for The Macon Telegraph, Grisamore touches all the bases - from fatherhood to fishing to toe floss to finding your heart. "Let's remember that our blessings count more than the score of some game," he writes. True Gris is your ticket to many wonderful places, and you'll have the best seat in the house. You'll travel to Jackie Robinson's birthplace, down the hill with an Olympic bobsledder, and into a crime-ridden housing project in New Orleans. You'll take a trip to Santa's lap, watch the University of Georgia bulldog mascot put on his game face, and get the view from a hearse. Grisamore will touch your heart with pieces of his own. In "Fathers need guardian angels" he writes about his three-year-old son crashing his dad's truck into a tree in the back yard. In the poignant "Being there can make a difference" he talks about mentoring a young boy from a single-parent family. He writes about finding his doll "Pearl" tucked away in a drawer and hits an emotional homerun with "Let the tears flow, the Braves are champs."
