  • Now we get to blow stuff up too!!!

    You will remember that a few weeks ago I wrote to you all about the upcoming outdoor concert that was being planned by MusicFest (which I have joined, just so I’m being straightforward and all).

  • A running question in my mind: ‘Do I really want to do this?’

    Now that I’ve stepped up my training because of some pretty serious running goals, I’m constantly asking myself questions.
    When I’m putting on my running gear about 6:30 five mornings a week, I ask myself, “Do I really want to do this?”

  • My opinion is running low on energy

    Did you hear about the news from China?

  • Getting fired up over midnight fireworks disturbance

    I’m so happy I slept through the neighborhood fireworks extravaganza on July 4 and 5.
    For the record, I’m not talking about two different fireworks events. I’m talking about one that started late Sunday night and continued unreported to Royse City police — I guess — until after midnight.

  • ‘The return of the Justie Awards’

    Over the years, I’ve said that some of what goes on in the legal realm is so bizarre that it merits its own recognition – sort of an Academy Awards for the civil and criminal justice systems if you will.  So, instead of the Emmys, the Grammys, or the Oscars, we present the Justies.  And despite the fact that we’re only halfway through the year, there are already some worthy contenders.

  • The seasons just keep on changing

    My wife received a brochure in the mail recently that reminded me of the changing seasons — but not spring, summer, fall and winter.
