Let’s Get Smack Dab in the Middle
Yesterday my doctor told me he wanted to do a cat scan of my brain. This came as no surprise to the family jokers around here, but it isn’t the functions of my strange brain that are concerning the man, y’all.

Old Man Henry’s been playing golf for a couple years now. Mrs. Mamie says he has become an official nut about it, too.

Waiting for Eternity
Exercise is such a habit. Having fallen in and out of it over the years, I know falling out is much easier. And yet, I’m always convincing myself that this particular work week is crazier than usual and it’s just this one little day I’ll be missing, and maybe the next.
