“News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day.” - Gene Fowler, American journalist and biographer
A Few Monday Musings
First, the BIG NEWS- I am a grandfather! My daughter Taylor gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last Friday, Melina Vess Marie Ferguson entered the world at 12:07PM weighing in at 8 LBS & 10 OZs. She promptly stole our hearts. And I’m filled with pride watching my daughter, she is already a fantastic […]
A Few Sunday Musings
August 16, 2015
Billy Bob Thornton played my hometown last night and I didn’t go dammit. If you didn’t know it, Billy Bob isn’t just an Academy Award winning actor, he is also a musician and songwriter with his own band, The Boxmasters. Their music has a 50’s country kinda vibe, like Hank Williams Sr or Johnny Horton. […]
Deadly Dentist: Trophy Hunting Cecil
July 29, 2015
Trophy hunting, I just don’t get it. I’m not against hunting, quite the opposite in fact. I grew up in a house where venison often graced the table. Whitetail deer, killed and ‘dressed’ by my grandfather in our front yard, it was a regular part of my diet growing up and though it’s not a […]
Various States of The Union
January 22, 2015
While watching the State of the Union speech it hit me; the reason politicians always seem so out of touch; it’s because they only interact with perfect people, Uber-Americans if you will.

‘Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy…’ – John Denver The weather in the waning days of 2014 and the beginning of this brand-new year has sucked the life right out of me. Seriously, it feels like the rain and grey skies have become vampires, only instead of blood, these vampires drain energy, the will […]
Admonishing Batman
September 23, 2014
Batman lives in my house. Not Bruce Wayne of DC Comic, Adam West/Micheal Keaton/Christian Bale/Ben Affleck fame (no disrespect George Clooney/Val Kilmer). No, this Batman is a dog, the son of my Chihuahua Coco. Let’s call it a youthful indiscretion on her part. I call it that because it sounds better than admitting the truth; […]
2014’s 1st Edition of Random Tweets
January 2, 2014
It’s not racist to disdain peoples who don’t eat bacon. Commercial tweets are the Twitter equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. One of my customers, an 88 year old black woman said to me just now: ‘Y’all still got that colored boy workin’ for ya’? This is my life now. Kudos to A-Rod for making […]
