Wash. Lather. Rinse. Repeat
“….looks like I’ll run out of highway before I outrun the rain…” From “Fire and Smoke” by Earl Thomas Conley This past weekend was an exact replica of the previous weekend. Rent-a-cars and north bound planes. Early flights. No sleep, runnin’ on empty. Wake up calls. Coffee. Coffee. Then more coffee. Previous weekend was to…

HSO Saturday cancelled
We had plans with Gershwin 1 Oct 22. Had planned it in August. The little black dress. The stilettoes. Black tie. Her first symphony. But alas, not to be. She had a change of heart. I was so looking forward the cool evening Autumn air.

We rush to take an introspective view of what we’ve done with our time on earth. But it only happens when our world turns upside…

Storms of Life
How can I tell you goodbye? How do I find words to say you are a good person? You’re the one to blame for me taking up golf. You sold me your son’s irons. I still remember the brand (Dunlops). I still say I paid too much for ’em. I hated your teams you hated…

Rice Owls and Autumn Saturdays
How can love lost or any amorous affair have any correlation to one of the premier private universities in the nation? One of the fun things and nice perks of being in a relationship is the opportunity to plan future events together. We pretty much had our month planned out. This past weekend was the…

WWJD? You might be surprised.
Caution….this story has been modified for me. It’s my blog so there. What Would Jesus Do ? The answer might surprise you. Recently, I found myself on a beach deep in prayer. I was feeling a bit selfish and exclaimed aloud, “Lord above, grant me one wish.” Suddenly a booming voice sounded, “Because you have…
