Two Boys, a Raccoon, and a Little Imagination

16 November 2011

I was taking the trash out last night when I  ran across two boys playing near the dumpster. I had a good idea as to what they were doing. You see, there is a raccoon that hangs out at the dumpster. He scared the crap out of me one night when I was taking out the [...]

Rick Perry Is Not Texas (All Texans Are Not Rick Perry)

10 November 2011

After watching the the ninth ( yes, count them. NINE) Republican Primary Presidential Debate, I don’t know why I was expecting anything different. Romney? Stand-offish and insincere. Cain? Likeable (maybe not so much after the allegations), yet unelectable. Santorum? Whiny. Bachmann? Irrelevant at this point.  Perry? Well,  he’s Perry. Time for a commercial break for [...]

Why We Don’t “Get” Our Kids

16 August 2011

With every passing year, I find that my perspective on life matures and tend to notice the differences between Gen X’ers  and the ones who have come after us, our children. Issues such as faith, family, politics, race, and relationships are viewed differently by the Gen Y crowd, also referred to in some circles as the Millennial Generation. [...]

Broke But Not Broken

9 August 2011

I need a break. There is too much going on in my life and it’s difficult to keep up. I haven’t had a real vacation since last year and the demands at work keep growing and growing. However, I’m not going to complain, especially when so many people are out of work. As a black [...]

Mr. Man, Mocha Dad, & The Chicken

22 March 2011

Note: My teenaged daughter reads my blog. She is actually a fan of sorts. She recently asked me about this story idea, a memory, actually, and when would I write about it. Shout out to Bae for making me “pee and get off the pot” on this one. My grandmother died in the summer of 1980. [...]

Neglected Lover

18 March 2011

Continuing on with the drudgery of things that must be done, I lament a lover who has been neglected for far too long. I am amazed at her patience with me. That she even puts up with the lack of attention that she as gotten from me lately. Yet, she’s always there when I return. Waiting. Patiently. [...]

The Water Cooler

11 January 2011

I met Penny in the office kitchen. Penny, a co-worker of mine, was pouring herself a cup of coffee. I saw Penny  last night at the neighborhood H.E.B. where I was picking up a few supplies for the week. This morning, near the water cooler as I poured a cuppa joe, I kidded Penny and said, “If [...]

“you know…that black guy”

4 January 2011

Football season, for my beloved Houston Texans ended this past Sunday. For reasons, primarily on the defensive side of the ball, the Texans finished 6-10, three fewer wins than the previous season. The fans (yours truly included) have been out for blood from the coaching staff. And it finally happened today. Here is an abbrieviated version of [...]

Baptist leader decries “Pulpit Freedom Sunday”

23 September 2010

I get tons of requests to publish “press releases” every day. Typically, these are relegated to “File 13″ because I am not necessarily interested in pushing someone else’s agenda. However, I found this one to be of particular interest. See below… September 23, 2010 WASHINGTON, D.C. — The effort to recruit pastors to endorse political [...]
