December 2017 will go down as the month I got to live out a life goal. I spent this past month helping Santa deliver cards, letters and packages between Dallas and Lubbock. So, I guess I can check this off my bucket list. As of the writing of this post I still have a week… Continue reading My Month as Santa’s Helper

I lived out a dream last week
Have you ever had one of those dreams you wish you never had? You know what I mean…someone is chasing you and you can’t move your legs…or a T-Rex is about to eat you alive. Yeah, you want to erase it from your memory but you can’t. Being poor has it’s pitfalls. Driving an old… Continue reading I lived out a dream last week
December 1, 2017 Newsletter/blog post
Hey y’all. Yeah, it’s that time of crazy time of year for me, too…even though there’s just one of me. I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping up with my regular blog schedule.

Be Careful What You Stand On
I thought about calling this post “Slippery Footing.” I think the title I chose fits better. I’ve had trouble standing lately. Not literally, just figuratively. About the time I think I know what to expect in my life the unexpected occurs. When the unexpected happens so many times a fella realizes it’s actually normal for… Continue reading Be Careful What You Stand On
Stress is Spelled M-Y L-I-F-E
Thursday I drove from Ft Worth to Amarillo. I’ve done it several times and lived to tell about it. So, what made it so different this time? It was 86 degrees when I left Thursday afternoon.

Those of you who don’t know me well now know that I never served in any branch of the… Continue reading 2 Phone Calls
October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
The good news is I made it through September with my bank account in good standing. The bad news is I don’t know how far into October that standing will stand. I’m in the throws of Starving Artist Syndrome…or stopped truck driver conundrum…or both. Yeah, both of um. Either way my bills are looking like… Continue reading October 2017 News from a Starving Writer
Lessons from the Toddler Whisperer
Another summer with the toddlers has closed for the Toddler Whisperer. Since I never had children of my own I get my grandfather fix during the summer months. More firsts were encountered. More lessons learned by this old man. God directly answered one of my emails at the very beginning of the summer. When I… Continue reading Lessons from the Toddler Whisperer
I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
I’ve heard it said that everybody has an identical twin somewhere in the world. The longer I live the more I’m convinced my twin’s name is Charlie Brown. Apparently Charles Schultz watched my life story when he came up with the idea for this fictional character. If he didn’t he sure could have. You remember… Continue reading I Think My Identical Twin is Charlie Brown
