We didn’t get all the rain over the weekend that the weatherman had predicted, but every little bit helps.

Yesterday was a wet, gray day here in our part of Alabama, but nobody is complaining because we definitely needed it.  We have been under drought conditions for a long time now and everything is so dry that the governor issued a statewide fire ban.

I have met a lot of wonderful people in my life and I’ve met some strange ones, too, no question about that. I’ve met people who were friendly, I’ve met people who are rude, I’ve met people who were sad, I’ve met people who were happy, and I’ve met people who were pretty much batshit […]

I’ve heard it said many times that to be a good writer you have to be observant of the world around you, and I think that’s probably true. I’ve always been a people watcher. I can remember as a kid seeing someone at the grocery store or walking down the street or wherever, and making […]
