| Earl Campbell, an old, hurting man at 52, remembers his runs
Earl Campbell's back is killing him — so badly, in fact, that the man hasn't slept in a bed for almost seven years. He spends a fair amount of time in a wheelchair, and he can't get around on his feet without using a walker. Man, what he'd give to be able to hop into his van and drive, to sail alone on the open road, no music on the radio, no sound in his ears but the hum of tires on highway. But he can't. Not right now. Earl Campbell's 52-year-old body hurts him so much that he relies on a driver — his longtime friend James "Sugar Bear" Yates — to take him to work, or to fetch a can of Sprite at the 7-Eleven, or run him up to visit his brothers and sisters in Tyler.

East Cobb home remodeled to last a lifetime
After 20 years in their east Cobb neighborhood, Joel and Susan Burrow knew it was time for a change. The retired couple was growing weary of the stairs and the small kitchen in their 26-year-old traditional, but their search for a new one-story house was frustrating. "We looked for a year and a half for a ranch, but everything we saw was old and needed renovation," Susan Burrow said. "I finally got up one day and said, 'Let's just fix our own house.' We love our neighborhood, so we added on so we could stay here." .
