I will preface this post with an advance notice. In no way do I mean any disrespect to any of these artists, much less any member of the Holy Trinity. In fact, those three and myself are on a first name basis, and I have it on good authority that they have a GREAT sense
Easter Trees 1.5
BTW… To any and all who are interested… Anytime I get a chance to brag on how awesome the state of Georgia is, (especially the town of Athens), I gotta do it. Athens has the distinction of having a tree that actually owns itself. How cool is that??? You can read about it here. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11703
Easter Trees
Well – today is Easter, and I don’t want to work too hard on anything, but this I consider a labor of love. It will probably be a two day post because it may get complicated, long, and kinda controversial. But, hey – nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? This may require some of you to
Big Bang Or Singularity
I had a somewhat serious auto accident a couple of years ago that most folks say I am fortunate to have lived through… I tend to use the word “blessed” instead of fortunate, because besides a destroyed knee and a stent in one of my kidneys, I am otherwise ok. I am living proof that
Red Dirt vs Red Clay

One Creator, Many Artists

I tend to take a different tack when asking that question. Each artist has muse(s) or influences that affect their art
Life’s Work And Its Importance
Mark Twain was one of the most iconic American writers in history. He also penned numerous quotes of wit and wisdom that are as timeless as they are funny and/or important. One of my favorites: The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out
Happy Birthday Mama
The month of March has already been a crazy month for me and the family. Anyone who has followed this blog is probably well aware of that, so I wont waste a lot of time covering the events of the past twelve days or so. However, today is the day I have been dreading ever
Daddies and Daughters
Welp, my baby girl is all growed up I reckon. She will always be my baby girl, but I suppose it is time for her to reach for the brass ring as they say. Her fiancé, Mike, asked her to marry him this morning and she said yes! Mike and I had a long discussion
Drummers, Time, and Gifts
When I was in high school, I was introduced to Emerson and Thoreau. I found their philosophies inspiring and life changing. Their attitude toward self-reliance and transcendentalism stressed the importance of alone time. I learned that one can be alone without being lonely. In fact, with the proper prayerful attitude, one is never alone. One
