Sharing our daughter and family with his folks forced us to
have their "Christmas tree" last night. Our 7 y. o. granddaughter helped put together a sand candle looking quart jar of cookie mix. Also got a camo shirt from Academy covered with ducks.

Ahhh…The final Christmas-themed “Ten Things” of the season…A special thanks goes out to TitanKT for providing this list—it’s been entertaining!
Note: I only had 5 items left, so I made up the last 5 questions. Or else I wouldn’t have had “Ten...

Yuk. That is the only word I can think of to describe what I think when I enter a restaurant now.
My family and I used to eat out all the time. I say ‘used to’ because this past summer we put out finances under a microscope to see where we could trim the budget and save more for...

I saw the story in the press, and I started a response to a piece the Grey Beard Loon had offered up on it. Problem was, I think as is usually the case with me, I would run out of space before I run out of thoughts and words to express them. So instead, I shall drag out mt soapbox and put it up...

For those of you who enjoy college football today is the beginning of bowl games.
While some of my picks are simply guesses since I do not follow ALL the schools, I still find it fun to make my picks and look back and see how I did.
So… here goes my picks for the 2005-06 bowl schedule....

Here is another one of my favorite cookies. These are a little bland and not as sweet as some. If you like eating pie crust and you like pecans you will love these too.
Pecan Sandies
1 cup softened butter
4 tablespoons sugar
2 cups flour — sifted
1 teaspoon...

I have found myself in a bit of a writing funk lately, and I am starting to think it is due to the short days, and the lack of warmth and sunshine. My wife loves this time of the year. But she is from Minnesota, which makes Amarillo seem tropical.

Numbers. They’re such frustrating little characters. They can be quite difficult to manipulate. From time to time, each of us makes an error when punching these numbers on a keypad in a particular order so as to reach a specific person via telephone. It happens to the best of us....

I am still here. Here is a tedious place at the moment, requiring some deliberate and calculated footwork at this time. I wish I could put my finger on it, to explain it better. I think it may be a recurring thing, and it may well be a seasonal thing. There are stories and ideas and opinions I...

My post about A GOOD APPROACH reminded me of Charlie Brightbill. At the time my grade school career started, Charlie Brightbill ran a little eating joint on the busiest intersection of our small town. My ten-years-older-than-me brother, Val, and his high school buddies hung out there a lot. My...

The DISCUSSION FORUM topic was "Mass. confused over beating death." "Wait a sec" and I were going on about whether the rich bullies had the right upbring-ing and about victims dropping charges. The cops had done their jobs by arresting the bullies. The cops doing their jobs made me think about...

The folks behind the SUV in the Hobby Lobby/Big Lots parking lot asked me if they could help me. "I just wanted to thank you for not smoking in the doorway of the store. I've been on a campaign to get folks to smoke away from business doors so we don't have to wear a gas mask to get in." "Oh, we...
