The Mason Minute Kevin Mason

I have difficulty remembering when or where things happen as I get older. I often need a point of reference to jog my memory. Now, this isn't an issue with my memory. It's simply because there are so many memories filling my brain. Today my nephew, Cade, graduates from college. It seems like yesterday when he was starting school, and by that, I mean Kindergarten. But that was seventeen years ago, the year I moved to Nashville. When you're in school, time seems to crawl. But as you get older, time flies. With so many memories, it's sometimes hard to keep track...

Sometimes, I have to stop and think about the people I've met, places I've gone, and things I've done. I realize that my life is like so many others. With my father's years in the media and all of mine, I've experienced many things that sometimes fascinate people. But I've long realized that we're all on a different journey. Even those who think they've led a simple life can have some fantastic stories. I love it when I get to hang out in our office kitchen, even for just a few minutes, because that's where so many stories are shared...

One of the best things that has happened to our streets and highways is the creation of the center turn lane. That extra lane makes all the difference to keep traffic flowing. I'm sure they've been around for a long time, but I didn't see one until the late 1970s. But they've been around so long that more people now use them to merge into traffic rather than for the reason they were created. I see this happen every day on my way into the office. Delivery trucks now use them as a way to merge into traffic. And that creates some problems...

My brain holds a lot of strange facts. Some are useful, but most are just good if you're playing a trivia game. We were in a team meeting the other day at work, and the subject of May Day came up. I started talking about the tradition of dancing around the Maypole. Most on the call had no clue. Then I made a joke about eating Maypo on May Day. Not one person had a clue about Maypo. It's a warm maple-flavored breakfast cereal that was extremely popular in the 50s and 60s. You can still find it in some stores, but I don't know who still eats it...

The number of violent crimes is rising here in Nashville. Some say it happens in every area filled with rapid growth. While that doesn't make me comfortable, I understand. But the very alarming stat involves violent crimes committed by people who are out on bond. The number of people who post bail after committing a crime, who then go out and commit another crime while they're awaiting trial, is shocking. It's happened numerous times in just the last couple of weeks. When the chief of police is concerned, I know I should be too...

Anyone who has taken a US History class knows the story of the Civil War. It was a monumental time in the history of our country. But political experts feel there's potential for another Civil War, which could happen anytime. Some feel we are more divided politically than we've ever been in the history of our country. While both the 1860s and 1960s were a time of social and political divide, some feel those times pale compared to what we're going through now. In the 1860s, it was the North versus the South. In the 1960s, there was a divide between young and old. Today is much different...
