Got something to say?
Finding a good movie not so easy anymore
This weekend, my wife, Jena, and I will celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. As luck would have it, we have a break between softball tournaments, school functions and other child-related activities, giving us a chance to mark the occasion with some mom-and-dad time.
Book Review: A tale of the old west
Majestic mountains, deserts of gold and red and bronze, elk and deer and endless herds of buffalo roaming the Western plains. This is the picture of the old West painted in Richard S. Wheeler's Western novel "The Far Tribes."
Slip-n-slides, bike rides and a time that I long for

The Walker Park fountain was one of the first Blytheville staples I noticed after moving here in 1992.
Advice for new grads -- and everyone else
This is the time of year when people who deem themselves older and wiser find it necessary to dole out advice to new graduates.
Did you remember your mother on Mother's Day?
This past Sunday, May 12, was Mother's Day, and I hope all of you at least called dear old mom on the phone, or better yet, took her flowers or out to lunch or dinner
Weekend spent reconnecting with world
This week I'm going to do something I don't often do, I'm going to brag about my weekend. Now, it's not like I don't usually enjoy my weekends, because I do, they are just tend to be a little dull and not worth talking about.
