This past Wednesday, April 15, was the day every person in America was to pay their taxes. While Joe six-pack probably got his in on time, some of the richest people and corporations didn’t pay their fair share. That’s because every year, corporations like General Electric, Boeing, and Verizon dodge billions of dollars in taxes […]

Thank goodness for my friend, Slim Randles, who is always willing to be my Wednesday’s Guest, even at the last minute. My week got off to a late start as I returned home from a trip to Austin late on Monday. Then I picked right back up with an editing job and almost forgot to
My plan was to research a woman to feature on the blog today and get a post pre-scheduled, since I was out of town all weekend. You know what too often happens to plans, and this one was blown apart cause I was sick all day Thursday, and just barely able to get packed and

Our friend, Slim Randles is once again the Wednesday’s Guest. He sure has some interesting people in that fictitious place that houses the Mule Barn Truck Stop where the guys get good coffee and have good times.

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,

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
