The Round-up
I spent yesterday in Indian country (Oklahoma) and barely escaped with my scalp (you have to be on your toes in those casinos). Today, I feel like stomping the dust off my boots, busting through the bat-wing doors of my favorite watering hole, and… Continue Reading “The Round-up”
Two in the Bush
I’d like to begin this week’s post by wishing my fellow Americans “Happy Independence Day!” We are blessed to live in a nation where people can openly express their views (unless they’re politically incorrect) without fear of retribution. If you’ve watched television more than… Continue Reading “Two in the Bush”
Distasteful Voyage Revisited

In fact pickings… Continue Reading “Who ya gonna call?”
Chiggerfest 2013
Please excuse the long-winded diatribe at the start of this post. If you prefer to skip this part (which has nothing at all to do with the story) feel free to scroll down and cut to the chase. My feeling will be injured, but… Continue Reading “Chiggerfest 2013”
Geriatric Adventures
Bruce Willis is credited with saying something to the effect of, “No matter how old we get, we still feel twenty-three on the inside.” Most of the time I agree with that statement, but while battling gout a couple of weeks ago, I could’ve… Continue Reading “Geriatric Adventures”
