I love Thanksgiving, I love getting together with family and friends and stuffing our faces, loosening our belts afterward, and nodding off while the Cowboys beat the heck out somebody, anybody. But as I sit here and think about the preparations for the upcoming Turkey Day I do come to the same conclusion, there are at least 5 Thanksgiving side dishes that have got to go.

Did you know... there is such a thing as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas? Commonly referred to as ERCOT, this is apparently the governing body in Texas over preparedness and energy needs within the state. I think we can safely say that this 'governing body' fumbled this current deep freeze emergency rather badly as we still have millions of Texans with no power for over 24 hours and no r

A few thoughts on the President's State of the Union Adress:

I don't usually tell people how to vote, normally I just let people know how I feel about political subjects and leanings. However, in this case, I am a resident of the Great State of Texas and I don't ever want to have my income taxed in this State. If you feel the same as I do and you're planning on voting tomorrow watch out, on Prop 4 the wording is a little tricky.

My son Tyler and I recently had the chance to try out Five Guys in the Metroplex, I wish we had gone to Jack-In-The-Box, not because Five-Guys food was bad, however, there was an issue that I didn't anticipate.

Dorky me forgot to set it up to record! But I did manage to remember it was on about halfway through it, it was worth it.

ISIS is all-but destroyed, the economy is looking much better, tax cuts should help most people, regulations are being slashed, retail sales are up, housing starts are up and the Stock Market is still setting records. What's not to be optimistic about in 2018?

Today I saw in an interview in Variety. Adam Aron, the new CEO of AMC Theaters says he's considering allowing people to text while the movie is playing. What? Really?

It's a debate that continues to rage in political circles and just might be one of the deciding factors in the 2016 Presidential race. Should no one but cops, the military and the bad guys have guns, or should law abiding citizens like you and me get to have them too? What does the 2nd Amendment mean? Is it a two part statement or just one? Is it all about hunting, self defense or protecting yours

I guess my question is, should we? Seriously, I'm not very squeamish when it comes to scientific exploration and experimentation. Discoveries are made by madmen and women who just have a certain drive, a need-to-know attitude. Combine that with a good education and you have scientists who are willing to do almost anything to learn those burning questions of science.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "I love me some CDB!" Charlie Daniels has been a hero of mine both musically and politically for many years now, and when Charlie gets on his "Soapbox," folks just better sit up and pay attention.
