It’s been a busy week. Once I recovered from whatever it was that knocked me down last weekend, I had to play catch-up with the to-do list. That included working on an editing job for a client, planning my trip to Austin in April for DEAR Texas Day. On April 12 bookstores in cities across …
This from our favorite Wednesday’s Guest, Slim Randles, really resonated with me. I had a fishing buddy in Omaha who shared the same philosophy about fishing. Since we’re out at the creek with our rods, there’s no refreshments today. Just the clean, clear air and the cool, rushing water. And of course, our friends…. As …
This will not be my usual offering for Monday’s, as this weekend was not nearly as exciting as last weekend. No fun with music or hanging with my writing pals, just a bad case of the flu. So this will be short. WHAT I’M READING: MIDMEN: The Modern Man’s Guide to Surviving Midlife Crisis by …
Oh, poor Exxon Mobil. They aren’t taking in the millions anymore since gas prices have gone down. But I was shocked to read that they are planning to raise billions with a bond issue. Then I read this article by Nicholas Sakelaris in the Dallas Morning News, and understood the money isn’t to pay workers. …

As snow is melting in some parts of the country, our thoughts naturally turn to spring. The guys down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, especially Doc, have some opinions about the winds of spring. Thanks to Slim Randles for being the Wednesday’s Guest today and sharing the fun with us. When you finish here, …
My weekend wasn’t nearly as exciting as last weekend, but I was busy. On Saturday I gave my very first guitar lesson. While I’ve been playing guitar for many moons – the thought of putting the exact number of years made me cringe – I’ve never taught. But early last week a lady contacted me …
Okay, this is not a joke, but it should be. I read this quote in The Dallas Morning News. “The real stumbling block is the ethics.” Italian doctor, Sergio Canavero predicting the possibility of head transplants within two years. Jon Stewart, where are you? Moving on from that nonsense, there was a terrific article in …
Here we are again at the Mule Barn Truck Stop with Slim Randles and friends. I do love having these guys as my Wednesday’s Guest. Enjoy the visit. And do take a moment after you read this offering to join Slim at DoublewideNetwork.com where his hour-long show, Home Country, is live. He talks the way …
Last week ended on a high note for me, an amazingly high note, and how it all happened is quite a story. It started Thursday morning when a good friend, Becky, called to ask if I would go to the Winnsboro Area Chamber of Commerce Banquet with her Thursday evening. She said “they” were making …
