The January CurseI’ve beat on the evil technology for days, using all the prompts issued, begging it to let me back into the Land of Word where I can happily click away. Instead, I’m sitting here at 5 a.m., in my not so cozy PJs due to a warm weather day in the Climate Lottery, typing with one finger on my iPad in Notes. I’m not really certain how to get this column out of Notes to send to my publisher, who I’m pretty sure thinks I froze to death last week.

Growing Up In BanderaLooking back over the last seven decades, from this lofty perch I obtained by reaching what some call the golden years, I see a lot of things that make me thankful for the life I led as a kid. I can't imagine anyone claiming they had it better in some other place. Bandera was a paradise where we had freedoms that people can't even imagine being possible in our town today.
