Turn on the music, listen to Bradley sing and think about how my friend said he saw him at a local restaurant. Don’t hear those kinds of stories in Texas and if I did I wonder if it would be said with the same matter-of-fact attitude. It happens here and most of us don’t care […]

See The Love That Is Sleeping
I wasn’t sure what direction to take this post or even how to start it and then this song came on and I was inspired. The funny thing is that I had thought to open with this one instead and had plenty to say but the muse refused to roll that way so it made […]
Some Promises Aren’t Binding
There are a 198 questions running through my mind and probably 982,000 more lying just beneath the surface that I want to ask but won’t…at least not today.

Call It a Little Bit Of Confusion
There was a moment five years ago where I walked into a fire and discovered the fire extinguisher I picked up was bone dry. It wasn’t the sort of discovery that makes you jump with joy but it did make me shout…more than once. No one came running to help and though I didn’t expect […]
Is It A Concussion?
My old man is/was famous for having a hard head both literally and figuratively so it stands to reason I might also have the same. I never expected to be put to the task of proving it by getting hit with a steel bar, but I was and I suppose I did…prove it. It was […]
