Here’s another bit of humor from my friend, Tracy Farr….. This post orginally appeared December 2008. It’s more than just a haircut Our country is going through some dire times.

Wednesday’s Guest – Tracy Farr
In revisiting past blogs I found this piece that appeared in October 2008. Thought you might enjoy the humor. Here is another guest blog from a talented jazz musician, who also has a deft hand with writing humor. He shares a weekly column with readers at winnsborotoday.com, and also graciously allows me to share with

A Bit of Humor
This first appeared here on It’s Not All Gravy in June, 2006, but the very first publication of this piece was in the Plano Star Courier where I wrote a humorous column for several years. It is always so much fun to go back and revisit the past….. As we all know, writers are by
Monday Morning Musings
I think Mother Nature should be renamed Father Nature. Surely if a woman was in charge of the weather, she would be much more practical and efficient. Not too much rain all at one time. No prolonged droughts. No storms. A woman who can stare down a teen age boy can certainly stare down a

Having Some Fun
While I’m over at The Blood Red Pencil blog today having some fun with writing tips from the comics, my friend Slim Randles stopped by to share the latest from the gang down at the Mule Barn’s philosophy counter. We knew. We looked at Dewey and we knew tragedy had struck. Naturally we assumed his
School Days, School Days
Since school has started for most kids across the United States, I thought I would share some of my memories of school days when my kids were young. This is another excerpt from my humorous memoir, A Dead Tomato Plant and a Paycheck, which is still under consideration for publication at a small independent publisher.

Guest Post from Slim Randles
Here is another guest post from my friend and fellow writer, Slim Randles. I do appreciate the fact that he is so generous to share his column “Home Country” with my readers here. Dewey Decker silently shoveled cow manure into the back of his pickup, but for the first time, his heart wasn’t in it.
