John Milton wrote, When I consider how my light is spent. Shakespeare penned, Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. Charles Dickens began one book, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And Tom T. Hall gave us, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died, Nobody ever…
I dont think Congress has passed a meaningful law since the beginning of the year. Thats eight months! Good gracious alive, I know what we should be thinking, Why are we paying them? Has the world come to a stop? Are all the good laws already on the books? Can this group not think of…
Max called. With questions. I leaned in a little. He is sometimes hard to understand over the phone. KK, what was the name of your second grade teacher? This test wasnt going to be easy! But I knew this one as my mind raced backwards 67 years, Miss Dorothy Booth. We paused as he wrote…
Aw man, this could be really bad. Im talking Sing Sing. Or maybe Leavenworth. They might reopen Alcatraz just for me. I dont believe theyre going to let me off with just a few nights in the Starkville City Jail. I got a letter from the IRS. The first page laid out the purported crime….

We loved our elementary teachers, appreciated the junior high ones and had matured enough to grade the high school teachers based on their style, likeability, knowledge of subject…
Wanderlust. Its kind of a little brother thing. Id remind David Mark that Mother said not to go past Archie Moores bottom field. Hed be over the fence and almost to the pond before my echo faded away. I was six months shy of being two years older so naturally I had to shinny over…
Daddy woke me up at first light the morning after I graduated from college with a 28-inch McCulloch 142 chainsaw in his hand, Son, get up! Mothers got breakfast on the table. Weve got work to do. He was excited about the day. About life. About cutting whatever it was we were about to cut!…
I dont know what age exactly you have to be to realize there is a price to pay to live in the United States of America. It varies Im sure with different folks. And some sadly, never understand. Thats because they dont pay it. You dont always pay it. Sometimes the guy next door doesnt…
