Jim Janotti is doing it. In fact, as of today, he is in the middle of a two week journey cross country. About a week from now he will return to his Pottstown, Penn., home, where he serves as a minister at a local Methodist church, is a rural mail carrier, and serves as husband to Joy and father to two daughters.

DRUNK WHITE GUY WARNING I have officially sworn off watching any more golf until they haul away these people who scream IN THE HOLE every time Tiger shoots. Do these people not know how irritating they are? WHY DO WE NEED THIS? I certainly understand the necessity for a launch clock at Cape Canaveral to get the Shuttle off the ground. And I know we need countdown clocks in false Mywesttexas 2006-09-01T09:05:00-05:00 2006-09-01T14:20:27Z 2006-09-01T14:20:27Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28359005.post-115712042718675830 Jay Ewing, Jim Morris: What's right about people Good travels to Jay; and a big thanks to sponsors and golfers Organizers tallied up the total for the Jay Ewing Benefit Golf Tournament last weekend at Hogan Park Golf Course and the returns are impressive. Thirty-five teams entered the tournament -- three more than had been hoped for -- and more than enough funds were raised to send Jay and wife Kelly to Washington, D.C., later this month.

It's one of the more endearing aspects of today's politicians that all Americans can be proud of and wrap our arms around: If our elected representatives can't stand on their own merits, they just point out how much of a creep the other guy is. My guess is Kinky Friedman isn't paying false Mywesttexas 2006-08-24T15:46:00-05:00 2006-08-24T20:47:38Z 2006-08-24T20:47:38Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28359005.post-115645245869137787 Gonna Fly Now If you were in a high school or college band in the 1970s, you can't help but be a little sentimental at the news today of the death of Maynard Ferguson. Good Lord what a set of chops that man had. He could blow the paint off a hubcap and his prowess at trumpeting was untouched during his time. There is no one like him.

And here we are again salivating over news about another family's personal tragedy. I guess I don't understand why the media frenzy over it and the public's ravenous desire to hear about it day after day. Sure she was a beautiful kid. But most all kids are in some way. It makes good sense when the media false Mywesttexas 2006-08-16T09:07:00-05:00 2006-08-16T15:28:24Z 2006-08-16T14:47:25Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28359005.post-115573964559412520 A wave to the past ... and to the future The rain that had built up on the brakes made a slight squeak as the car rolled to a stop in the parking lot. The kid got out and turned to walk away. He waved once. Took a few steps. Turned and waved again. Then took a few more steps. And turned and waved again.
