About

I started this blog a couple of years ago to air out my thoughts about what I did, where my profession was going, and who I am. When I first started writing, I was driving the Interstate highway from one small Southern town to another small Southern town to work at my dream job — a school librarian. Unfortunately, a big mouth and a bad economy conspired to put the quietus on that gig, so for the last few years I’ve been “between jobs.”  Truth be told, I’ve just about given up hope of being a librarian again.

Anyway, I’m still writing, but it’s less of a “professional blog” and more of a “storytelling blog” or an “I think this about that blog.” I expound on many and various things and introduce y’all to some of the stars and supporting characters in mi vida loca. As for myself, I’m just a forty-something guy born in a pretty dead small Southern town. Now I live on the outskirts of another, rapidly growing Southern town.  I’m married to Budge. I was raised by Mama, with a good bit of help from Papa and Granny, Papa, and Granny. Daddy wasn’t around quite as much as I wish he’d been when I was growing up, but what time we were together, he didn’t waste. Daddy comes up right often as a subject or a backdrop to a blog post.

I live in a trailer in a trailer park. These days though the PC terms are “prefabricated home” and “mobile subdivision.” Still, it has brick underpinning and a nice built-on covered porch and covered back deck, so it’s a far cry from “The Little Barn” of my childhood. My job (when I have one) and my family are my hobbies and they take up as much time as I can give them and one or the other usually gets shorted depending on what needs doing and who’s sick this week.

Honestly, I don’t get out much any more. I like my home, my Budge, and my cats and I don’t care to go out amongst the crowds. I’ve found you can meet a lot of mildly to wildly interesting people here in cyberspace. So I hope you’ll take the time to pick through the posts and pages and if you like what you see, leave a comment and come back again sometime.

Hope you have a good time, but before you get started, make sure to wash your feet, y’all.
