Oh, man! I’ve done it now. I just went and played the ole’ “Open Letter” card in emails to my two representatives in the Texas Legislature (very sorry, Rep. Bonnen and Sen. Huffman), Texas Governor Gregg Abbott and whoever reads the “customer service” messages at the Texas Department of Public Safety. “Please know I will […]

Don’s testimony (during the much-anticipated “Mueller testimony” before Congress): Two or three years ago, and maybe even this time last year, a big event like what’s happening in the US Capitol building right now would have had my careful attention all day And today, out of bad habit, I tuned in to a live broadcast […]

It’s almost as good as a date night. My wife and I are hanging out in her Mary Kay office on this awesome Friday night. French vanilla coffee is flowin’. She’s workin’ on her latest MK offerings. I’m churnin’ out the words on a couple (probably over-due) articles. And we are both jammin’ to WCBS, […]

I’ve been a satisfied, impressed TuneIn Radio user for several years. And, as a big fan of sports radio play-by-play (True story for which I don’t care how much grief I get: I love to listen to games while I crochet.), I may even eventually take the plunge and pay for TuneIn’s advertised “premium” access […]

Here’s an interesting quote going around (from an anonymous source): “So, if no party backs him. (sic) Most likely that means he is a threat to their agendas.Which, in turn, means he is a threat to their lies and deception. (sic) It probably means he is exactly what America needs right now… If no party […]

Comical conversation with a telephone customer service representative at a large company whose services I need but I dread doing business with. The highlight: “At the end of the day, when I clock out here, I clock in as a church pastor with my husband. I would never work for a company that encourages or […]

I don’t know the stats on this, but I’m guessing just about everyone in the US ends up talking to a reporter at least once in his or her life. Friendly reminder for those times: It’s best not to say something racist and then expect the reporter not to print or broadcast it. Even if […]

While we’re still talking about putting cameras on police, I figured I’d toss this out: let’s put public-access cameras in school classrooms. If parents could see how their darlings sometimes behave toward their teachers, we’ll end up with a different world. And I’m thinking this is one teacher-accountability idea even unions wouldn’t oppose.

I went to Wal Mart today to sign up for the new Texas Army that’s taken over in the last six weeks or so. Figured I’d volunteer to man the underground dungeon tunnels. They didn’t know what I was talking about, but the guy at the sports desk let me look at some rifles so […]
