Last week I told you that Cowboy Jon and I would be heading down for our annual deer hunt to the property in Kentucky. This is usually a pretty low key trip. We see some deer, and shoot a doe or a spindly racked buck. The terrain is rugged, and the walking is straight up or straight down. There are no crops planted within twenty miles of the properties, so the deer subsist on the little bit of...

Alone in a crowd, that was Mary and Joseph on the way to Bethlehem. People were all around, but everyone was too busy with their own needs to help the young couple about to have a baby.

Our early Thanksgivings did not include turkey hunting, plucking feathers, or roasting half a day in a wood-burning stove.

Apples for pies were not taken from a barrel in the dark, bread did not bake next to the bird, and stuffing never included “seafood”. But Thanksgiving...

Today (November 18) started off cool and foggy with a hint of drizzle in the air. It seemed like a long time since I had been birding here at home, and mid-November is always a good time to check out the local lakes and reservoirs.

Do you remember those vending machines that, once you'd contributed your quarter, would drop a plastic cup into a slot, funnel ice into it and then pour in whatever soft drink you'd selected? Did whatever happened to me all the time ever happen to you? The cup would fail to drop and the ice and the liquid would splash all over the floor, leaving you with sticky wet shoes and no beverage...
