Slim Randles is here as Wednesday’s Guest, sharing a story about “Windy” Wilson. Windy isn’t one of the regulars down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop, but when he comes by, it’s always an interesting encounter. He likes to talk real big like to impress folks, but he doesn’t quite get the words right. Still, […]

The weekend was busy, but also so much fun. The show for which I am assistant director opened last Thursday and ran Friday and Saturday, with a matinee on Sunday. It is a funny, but somewhat naughty show – “The Underpants” by Steve Martin. The script is an adaptation of the 1910 German farce “Die

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

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.

My first Wednesday’s Guest on this new blog site was JD Core, a fellow mystery writer and a terrific supporter of other authors. Since I wasn’t experienced with WordPress and how it differs from Blogger, I posted the blog in the wrong place. When I figured that out today, I decided to repost this so

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
