Marques Haynes
He was born into a poor family living in Sand Springs, Oklahoma in 1926, or 1923. Not even Marques knows his true age. He’ll say only that he put himself on hold and he’s been on hold for a long time. Marques fell in love with the game of basketball at a young age, learning to dribble in the dirt and by bouncing tennis ball
Boudreaux’s Back Seat Drivers
I’ll refrain from mentioning my dear friend by name in this segment. I will tell you that she is the classic back-seat driver, only she’s usually riding shotgun. The same behavior applies. The woman does a fine job of driving from her side of the car. Now, if she were telling this story she would probably say this is necessary because I’m not paying attention
Replacing the replacements
Hello folks, let’s chat
Courtney Walsh to visit ATS LIVE, Monday the 8th
Heads up, freaders! (That's friend/readers for any newcomers.) I do hope you're making plans to join me tomorrow evening for ATS LIVE, the radio talk show that is unlike anything else on air, and I don't even think I'll elaborate on that.

Spice tea + comfy jeans + cool weather = Bestseller? Oh, just say yes!
Awoke to an awesome Saturday. Temps have dropped and I have a free block of time to get some words down on the work in progress.

I whip up this Spice Tea every year around this time. It's next week's
Are You Camping on Concrete
I was fifteen when my parents built the house they’re in now. I remember when the foundation was poured. My sisters and I felt duty bound to trace our names in the wet concrete beside the carport. I don’t remember asking permission. Note to self: I should ask Mama if she and Papa appreciated our signatures or if they were surprised by them. However, I
Martha Washington
She was born on June 2, 1731, the oldest daughter of a wealthy landowner and his wife living on a plantation in a British colony in Chest Nut Grove, Virginia. Both of her parents were descended from prominent New England families. Martha was known as quite the adventurer from her earliest years, once riding her horse up the stairs of her uncle’s home! She was
It’s all in the Translation
You don’t generally think of bank robbers as being courteous but that’s the rap (so to speak) on a man who robbed a bank located inside a Kroger in Houston, TX this summer. The video shows Mr. Manners tipping his hat at the teller and wishing everyone in line a wonderful day before making his getaway. Last I heard he was still at large. Authorities
Record Setting Terminal Runs
Hello folks, let’s chat…Remember my big honking announcement to never connect in Atlanta again, so help me Scarlet O’Hara? Yeah, I don’t blame y’all for laughing. It was only a matter of time. On the bright side, I used my last visit to further develop my theory on Atlanta International. I believe the employees suffer from an extreme form of claustrophobia that has
