Slim Randles is making a visit to the blog today with a nice story about hunting. My interest in hunting tends to follow that of Jasper in this story. It’s not that I have anything against hunting, and have even done some in my past, but that was more for the pleasure of being outdoors […]
Every day I fill a small black pan with water for the birds. It sits in my front flowerbed, and I see cardinals and finches that often come and take a drink, but have never been able to get a picture. Either I don’t have my phone with me, or by the time I open

First up, I want to say what a wonderful time I had speaking to folks at the Holly Book Club at Holly Lake Ranch last Friday. A nice group of people make that club so welcoming and appreciative of the authors who come to share writing experiences. While in East Texas, I had to stop

Now a couple of things I need to comment about. Things that have rankled for quite some time. First off, a note to reporters on NPR, especially those contributing to the morning news program Up First. It only lasts about ten minutes, and I listen almost every day, appreciating the quick update on things that

Help me welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. The pandemic sure is taking it’s toll on folks, a fact that Janice and Annette can testify to. Sometimes it makes us say the oddest things, and it’s hard to recognize a joke when we can’t see a smile. Before turning the blog over to Slim,
