Avoiding me today…
or…how to avoid cookie dough… The beauty of aging is the knowledge gained. I can finally see myself applying lessons that taught me to be, and to do better. It would be a lie to say I learned from everything I should have, but I see a person I could have…

Conquering Waterloo…I mean Walmart
Ok. I went to the Walmart to pick up some stuff. I put on regular pants, and shoes…still not comfortable with pajama pants and fuzzy slippers yet…and traveled over to get a few groceries and maybe hit up some after Christmas sales. I hate Christmas, but since I am retired now,…

my calendar page for January 23, 2024
Some may know that Joy and I took a trip to New Orleans to listen to the Dalai Lama speak several years ago; because I love the simplicity of his words and thoughts. It was wonderful to listen to this man who has seen so many changes and challenges throughout…

Clarksville Tornado Cleanup …personal perspective.
From our house, we could see the dark line of the tornado move across Clarksville, without understanding the impact it was having on families in our community. We knew what was happening on the weather reports, and had to assume that things were not good, but couldn’t imagine that reality. …

I need a favor – (or A Tale of Two Heart Attacks) – you decide
I really thought being a retired, kept man was going to be much easier than it is proving to be. I mean kept; I assumed that didn’t entail dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning. It was going to be a breeze for me. I was going to be back in the kayak…

thanks for it all Bobby Haskins
We spent years as a military family, so moving was a pretty regular part of our lives until Ft. Campbell and Clarksville. My parents decided Tennessee was where we would end those travels in the early seventies. Mom being from Lookout Mountain, dad from Ducktown, it was close enough to family…but still…

Senko…post quarantine….hopefully…
I have fished the last two weekends with the Clarksville Area Kayak Fishing Group. We met up for check in at Mama Mea’s in Dover and I realized just how much I missed the gatherings. Really missed them! I have never needed a win to chase all the tournaments – personally, I want to win,…

my KBF NC recap…and perspective
2:10…day two of the NC, also the final day of the KBF Trail Championship. I am sitting at just under 80 inches, acutely aware that one decent upgrade will get me into the KBF Ten. I toss a Baby Bass Yamamoto Senko under a dock that I had pulled a bass from the day…

Torqeedo…resisted it for a while…
The move from my 20’s to my 30’s was a blur. Not because it happened so fast, but because I self-medicated with most legal/illegal/natural substances known at that time. The best I can remember, it was fun (say it often, glad there was no Facebook to document it!!)…but may contribute to why…
