The Pie Hole

I love Pushing Daisies, that show about the guy who can touch people and bring them back to life, yeah, that one.
What I really like about the show is that the star of the show owns a pie shop called The Pie Hole. It’s this great little shop nestled at the bottom of a high [...]

DON’T LOOK

On Sunday I went to eat lunch with my parents at Babe’s Chicken Diner in Sanger. After we gorged ourselves on chicken, fish, mashed potatoes, green beans and corn, we went next door to this tiny shop filled with all sorts of western and vintage goodies.
We made the store circuit and saw many cool vintage [...]

RAGE

“Freedom Yes, Apartheid No!” “Freedom, YES, APARTHEID NO!”
I was only 6 years old when I saw the people in downtown Dallas rallying around city hall. My mother was there for an abortion protest, but my Dad had gone to drop her off and there were all these people shouting out, “Freedom, Yes, Apartheid, No.” The [...]

“The flavor in coffee is in the [...]

Babies, Babies, Babies

I never had a flesh and blood brother, but I’ve had some brothers in this life that are probably closer than an actual brother. Strangely, 3 of them have wives that are pregnant and due within a month of each other - due April and May of next year.
The Meadows
The Cribbies
The Millers
Congrats everyone, I’m hoping [...]

Goodbye Minnesota… You will be missed.

I already miss you a little bit.
I’m sitting at home after a 3 day trip to see a Kanakuk friend - Eric Holst. We only spent a summer together 9 years ago, but as anyone from Kanakuk can tell you that Kanakuk is a place that bonds people together forever no matter how far the [...]
