I was sitting in Threadgill’s, doing a reading and dining on some of the fresh asparagus, and gratefully, I was doing a reading for a friend’s daughter so my client was rather understanding. Just the cutest little woman wearing a halter top and shorts walks up to the table, and asks, “Excuse me, are you … I was sitting in Threadgill’s

There is such a thing, on a Friday afternoon, as the finest “al fresco” dining experience ever. Imagine an All–American Hamburger, covered up in peppers, drenched with fake cheese product and fairly dripping in cheap yellow mustard. Add some French Fries with a generous dose of questionable chili and more yellow cheese looking goo, and … There is such a thing, on a Friday afternoon

I’m pretty sure yesterday’s existential teenage angst is gone. I have nothing to fear from another reporter. Nothing. Nope, not me. I was press at one time. The interview went just fine. Of course, I was quoted out of context in El Paso, just this last January, but I can surmise that I must be … existential teenage angst

Monday is usually, at it’s finest, a busy day. The scopes go up on Sunday night, … it’s a quick shift

Lawnmower racing. Wow. Free BBQ for a special “King of the Hill” promotion. Then, along with huge slabs of seared animal parts (good brisket and pork ribs), free Cola and Lawn Mower Racing. The track was slick, but the early morning clouds burned off into a picture perfect day. There was one guy on a … Lawnmower racing
