Hunker Down With Kes
- Land Of The Midnight Sun Beckons
- Folks, if it gets any hotter, I’m going to have to take back all those things I’ve said about Al Gore. I’ve been melting for three months! Either the globe is warming or my heat shield is down. Granny announced over supper one night... Full story
- Free Gene Autry Hard To Top!
- They fooled me the first year. My parents were the main culprits. But most everyone in town was in on it. I was so young. And gullible. You could have sold me the Brooklyn Bridge…..if you’d a’taken a magnet or a live bull frog as d... Full story
- Leaving……and Saying Goodbye
- The silence was deafening. I stood in the hallway, searching for the pictures of me and Leon and David Mark that showed us proudly sporting those Lions Club Little League uniforms. Mom had every team picture from every year lined up from just outside... Full story

- “The Pause That Refreshes!”
- I was in a hurry, as always. I’d meant to grab a candy bar before I left but in my haste to get rolling, I’d missed it. It’s five hundred miles from Port St. Joe to Nashville. The trip gets longer as I get older. My back and my stom... Full story
