A very young cowboy picked up a new book at the library yesterday. It’s entitled Trout Tips…edited by Kirk Deeter. There are 250 ideas on how to become a better angler. One tip seemed odd when I first read it. The thought is to carry a whistle with you while fishing. The more I considered […]

A tough day

October 28, 2017

It was very clear to Hollis’ mom that she was in a terrible mood. When they got home, she told the youngster that she didn’t know what the problem was but the nine year old could either ‘go to timeout in her room, or just be a couch potato.’ This comment prompted her seven year […]

Bah humbug

Lenny

October 10, 2017

My wife is so glad that she attended her high school reunion recently in Dayton, Ohio. Oh sure, it would have been better if the all star baseball player Mike Schmidt would have been there…but that’s ok. At least Sally got to see how some of her classmates had aged.

Something’s amiss

September 28, 2017

A fella wrote to an advice columnist this week to lament his difficulty in navigating the current dating scene. He opened his query with the statement…’I am REALLY attractive.’ Stop the presses…say ‘uh oh’ and let me know if you have Dr. Phil’s phone number on speed dial. One would think the guy is ‘dating […]

Incredible

Mercy

‘It’s 5:40 and breakfast was ten hours ago. Look into these eyes and consider that I am sooo hungry. It doesn’t help that you’ve got a roast in the oven that is driving me crazy.’

Favorite past time

September 20, 2017

Another summer has slipped into the shadows…given way to 8:09 school busses, Friday night football and high anticipation for Halloween. As swimming pools are covered for the next nine months, kids find creative ways to enjoy the outdoors. What’s more fun than playing in a pile of autumn leaves?

Good decision

September 18, 2017

A very young man calculated that he’d purchased 97 putters after contracting a case of the yips. Eventually, the missed three footers became like having a root canal so he opted out of the ‘game’ and took up square dancing and bridge.

Bargain

Yes ma’am
