Joe Hudson is a freelance writer who calls North Carolina home. He writes a newspaper column for the Statesville Record and Landmark newspaper and has been published now for over 8 years. His writings are about life's little challenges, and how they can be a bit less embarrassing when you realize others are going through the same thing --- and all from a Southerner's perspective. So grab a glass of iced tea, pull up a chair and get ready to laugh, cry and recognize yourself and your friends in his stories and writings.
