  • Outdated Humor? I Got You.

    When “A Taste of Home” was first published (I actually printed it out and mailed it to my old publisher in New York), I was a Sheriff’s Office conservative moonlighting as a left-leaning, ghost-hunting, potty-mouthed Independent. As I’m re-reading through it again all these years later, I think some of the humor has gotten a…

  • Not Every Tale Has A Happy Ending

    I spent mucho time twisting knobs this morning. I managed to get a decent recording of Blacktop Voodoo, but it wasn’t good enough to edit. After doom-scrolling through YouTube during lunch, I played a round of Witchfire. I didn’t last long, but it felt like it told a bit of a story. As usual, I…

    How are you?

    We’re the laughing stock of the world (we’ve been for a decade), there’s winter weather on the way to Dallas, and Ted Cruz is already on a plane. I’ve played this game before. All bullshit aside, how are you? I was speaking with a neighbor a few moments ago about him getting gypped on web…

    UFO’s In The Backyard.

    The cover image was made by a generator. Don’t get too excited. It’s Decatur. Almost Oklahoma. What’s it known for? According to the fine folks at Wikipedia: “Eighter from Decatur” is a slang phrase used by craps shooters who want to roll an eight, as well as the title of a song (minus the “e” in eighter)…

    Trouble? For Them.

    So many fuzzy memories from when this book was written. Lots of clear ones I won’t speak of as well. Writer stuff. “Someone call DC and tell them this is how you write a female hero character!” – Lisa Lee Tone, Bibliophelia Templum Angel Burns is a young firefighter with a shrouded history.

  • She May Have Weighed The Same As A Duck

    I’m a shut-in; rarely do I ever go off our property unless food or school are involved. I have everything I need within reach. There’s no need to venture off and disturb anyone else’s energy field, dig? I even have memberships to Six Flags and Alamo Drafthouse. I hope they enjoy my monthly donations. Kind…

  • Mastering The Marriage: Traditional And Silly Southern Shenanigans Aside…

    Random spit from the porch swing; let’s set the mood… I’ve been divorced three times and married four. It’s nothing to brag about, with more stupidity on my part than either of the three other women combined. I let it all transpire until things got out of control. Eventuality? Divorce. Inevitability, whether we liked it…

  • A Chilly Stroll Through Bishop Arts

    It’s my kind of Saturday living in an artsy-fartsy, tourist neighborhood; ten degrees above freezing. That means, most of the poons are in hiding; either playing Call of Duty or bitching about him playing Call of Duty. Just take the pit bull outside to take a dump, wash his car, and exhibit a few more…

  • Rev-iew: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Director’s Cut (1977 film)

    1977. What a time to be alive. Close Encounters, Star Wars, and Smokey and the Bandit released in the same year. I was four years old, meaning these three films played on repeat throughout my childhood. It was a magical time. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film…

  • My Morning Indiana Jones Impression

    Sometimes, I like to grab a rifle, ignore the map as much as possible, and just “hunt”. The sounds in this game will tell you a lot if you listen. So good. I have a “Raiders of the Lost Ark” moment toward the end. That’s just my pet snake Reggie…

    Repeat: two weeks ago, our rock and roll governor (except on uneven surfaces) signed a law that requires ALL Texas Sheriff’s Departments to assist ICE when they’re operating in their jurisdiction. I know, they all pee a little like whipped-dogs every time I mention this. In the Tenth Street Freedman’s District, Dallas Sheriff’s Office invisible…
