Libraries Are Cool
I love the Library. The whole concept restores my faith in mankind.
First of all, it’s free and they actually let you take things with the agreement that you will return them in a timely fashion. Where else does that happen?
Lubbock Libraries

Naughty Or Nice?
It's an interesting time of the year as kids are held up to the "Naughty or Nice" standards of Santa Claus.
Ho, Ho, No, No!
This is the most difficult time of the year to say "no" to sweets. They're everywhere, like tumbleweeds rolling through my day.
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
Gayla Peevey spent a lot of time at my house when I was a kid.
Well, not actually in person, but her song "I want A Hippopotamus For Christmas", played so much that it felt like she was part of the family.
The 29th Annual Ransom Canyon Tour of Homes
It's a yearly tradition in Lubbock, going to see beautiful homes decorated for the Holidays, so breathtaking in fact that one feels like dressing up and renting a limo for the night.
Merry Holidays?
Merry Christmas...Happy Holidays...which one?
CAPTCHA ~ It Has A Name
I try to breathe through the “little things” that life tosses my way, like forgiving the driver on Marsha Sharp Freeway who has obviously never met a turn signal, and my neighbor’s dog that takes sunset as a signal to start his barking serenade.
“C” in Christmas = Creativity!
Getting ready for the holidays, I came across an interesting article on “what’s hot” this year for kids.
Got Wood?
So, we've been attacked by a nasty cold front...highs in the upper 20's for the next two days. This took me out back to inspect my stock of firewood, but alas, I felt like Old Mother Hubbard because my stock pile is bare.
Options, run off to a chain store and buy those instant burning logs, or go on-line and find someone local who sells the real thing...
Santa Is Coming!
My favorite childhood memories of Christmas are our trips to the mall to see Santa. At the time, I didn't understand why Santa and his Elves were always at the mall, but as an adult, well I get it.
So skip the malls, keep your wallet closed and your kids happy by taking the family to Santa Land at Mackenzie Park...
