I got a distressing message the other day about an associate from my days in Houston. He’s now working in Tyler and was in the hospital.He’ll be okay and is already back to work, but his illness led to lengthy string of emails among his former co-workers. A string of emails he did not care for…
Earlier this week, I pledged to stop blogging incessantly about my car crash. But that blog did include the rider that I would only abide by that if you people [really hit “you people” as you read this] stopped demanding $21,000.The most recent demand was for $36,000, so I probably should have been more clear.Yesterday, I…
We’re coming up on the second anniversary of my mythical car crash. If we’re being honest with each other, I would have preferred not to be reminded, but I’ve had little control over this scenario.For instance, I was driving down I-30 through the Downtown Dallas canyon this afternoon.

I’m sorry for being so verbose about this car crash, but it’s been a main theme in my life lately. I know all of you have expectations about what appears in this space. This time of year, for instance, I would normally be blogging about my dislike for lawn care.But I’d like to start by thanking…
