Eddie Murphy to Host Academy Awards

I have to say, he wasn’t the first person I thought if for hosting the 84th annual Academy Awards, but they could have (and have) done much worse. Last year was horrendous and Eddie certainly has the chops to pull it off, so I am looking forward to this incarnation. I expect it to be [...]

A Front Runner for Best Film

I went to see The Help with Dawn and Kenzie tonight and although I expected it to be good, it was much better than I had figured.  This is easily the best movie I have seen this year! I know the critics are lambasting it as “racist,” and I get that – but come on, [...]

We took a last minute mini-vacation just before the kids go back to school.  Corpus Christi was the destination – we played on the beach, ate seafood & toured the USS Lexington.  It was a lot of fun and close enough that we will be going again.  

Finally! I have found the BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK!

Longtime friends know that there are two culinary treats I investigate every chance I get.  No matter where my travels take me, I test the local barbecue and chicken fried steak.   In my quest for the absolute best of each, I have found my Mecca for barbecue (I have a best for each of the [...]

Just Days Away from “The Boys of Fall”

That’s right, two-a-days have started across the state and soon they will be strapping on the pads and knocking heads all around Texas. This affects me in many ways: This is Dallin second year in HCRA football (youth league) and he will be the starting tailback this year. It is going to be a great [...]
