Gone with the Breeze
Tuesday afternoon, while driving across the endless plains known as Kansas, I noticed a sign hanging over the entrance to someone’s driveway. The sign read, “On this spot in 1897 nothing happened.” I couldn’t wait to get home and tell my cousin, JB Hogan.… Continue Reading “Gone with the Breeze”
How Sweet the Sound
Last week I attended a class entitled “Personal Branding.” I’m sure all of you are familiar with giant global brands such as Coca Cola, Budweiser, and PerryBlock.com. Like me, some of you may be big fans of Lame Adventures Travel and enjoy guided tours… Continue Reading “How Sweet the Sound”
Phishing for Chumps
Someone once asked my dad, “Pug, do you still go fishin’ as often as you used to?” “No,” replied Dad, “I’ve cut back to once a day.” I took Dad on his last fishing trip when he was 92. He died three years later.… Continue Reading “Phishing for Chumps”
It Ought to be a Crime
I think everyone ought to spend the night in jail at least once. It teaches a lesson in humility and gives you a whole new appreciation for many of the things we take for granted—like toilet paper. You also learn how to sleep with one… Continue Reading “It Ought to be a Crime”
Directions? We don’t need no stinking directions.

Once Bitten, Twice Busted
This morning I watched a really cute video of children explaining the events that happened in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago. When questioned about the animals in the stable they listed cows, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses, oxen, and the strong smell of manure.… Continue Reading “Once Bitten, Twice Busted”
Born in a Barn
For those of you tuning in expecting to read a FFF post, I’m sitting out this week. Rather than bore you with a hundred rambling excuses, I’ve prepared a little eye-candy for your viewing enjoyment. Here’s a copy of the Christmas card Connie and… Continue Reading “Born in a Barn”
Jilted Lover
I think of the Thanksgiving holiday as boot camp. Just a few days of intensive training to get you ready for the real thing. Over the next four weeks my stomach muscles will be sorely tested. There will be parties to attend, company dinners… Continue Reading “Jilted Lover”
Well Red . . . I mean Read
Contrary to popular belief, we DO have more than one book in our library. I know this to be true because my good friend Nancy Hartney, who works at the Fayetteville Public Library, donated her copy of “The Perils of Heavy Thinking” to that… Continue Reading “Well Red . . . I mean Read”
