1101 – Thunderhill Raceway BASH

One of my clients, Thunderhill Raceway was the host of the monthly Kyle Chamber Ambassador BASH. I was able to grab a quick interview with track owner, Mary Ann Nauman – NASKART Racing Xperience managing partner, Gary “Smitty” Smith and the director of the Kyle Chamber of Commerce, Ray Hernandez. It was a fun chance [...]

From the mouth of babes – sweet treats and great wisdom

I pride myself on having a lot of knowledge combined with a large number of experiences.  Because of that, when one of those little overlooked things always catches me by surprise.  I mean, I have been to the top of mountains, spoken in front of thousands, sampled all manner of daring escapades – then why [...]

Dr. Pepper does the right thing

Okay, they didn’t solve hunger or do anything to promote world peace, but Dr. Pepper did their part today by doing the right thing – no matter how small it is. I have been playing “Twist a Pepper” for years – you know the bottle of DP with “Sorry Try Again” or “Free 20 oz [...]

Some Enchanted Weekend

The family and I took a trip North of Fredericksburg Saturday to climb Enchanted Rock.  This makes my fourth trip up the huge slab of granite and it was an absolute blast.  First, it looked like bad weather was going to blow in and ruin the day, but I held firm to my belief that [...]

Marketing to kids – not just for cigarettes

Why is it wrong for Camel cigarettes to use a cartoon character and not for junk food companies to do the same? Think about it. Obesity is a much larger (pun intended) threat to the lives of America’s children than cigarettes. In 2008, an article reported by the BBC stated that of the 19 cartoon [...]

What are ‘gourmet’ tamales, you ask?

That is the exact question that Dawn and I pondered each time we took the small trip along Ranch Road 12 between San Marcos and Wimberley. Surely, THIS is just good marketing? What the heck makes a tamale ‘gourmet?’ Yes, this is Jean’s Antique Mall & Gourmet Tamales. Well, after a few months of saying [...]
