One of the benefits of the modern foodie fascination for people like me is that we can just keep throwing ingredients together with abandon, but now we can attach professional-sounding terms to it and all of a sudden our haphazard cooking process is legit. When you make chicken something out of whatever you found in the fridge, it’s more eater-friendly to say the meal is “based on a traditional dish from the Oaxaca region of Mexico,” rather than “It’s kind of Mexican ....

Our our way they have a saying, “Ain’t no horse that can’t be rode, and no cowboy that can’t be throwed.” Having been “launched” a good many times along the way, I know a good deal about “ being throwed” I have sprained my ribs twice, hit hard on rocks and even into cactus on occasion and had the wind knocked out of me several times. Well, as my pard, Charlie, reminded me, “it’s part of the trade.” You can’t cowboy for long without ending up airborne a few times. But the real test of a cowboy is not how many times you get “t...

It's a wonderful thing that residents at the care center can have church brought to them, but there are a few things that are hard to recreate in any care center - things...
You know, Lord, another friend slipped off to You, and then this piece showed up, author unknown. Just sharing as we grieve, knowing our dear one has gone on ahead: "Grief like a mantel covers me. We'd kissed good-bye - then astonishment and shock. Who knew you'd soon fly away? Sorrow like the sky - over everything. Tears engulf me - their release is healing. You, dear one, breathed in, breathed out - then breathed no more. Grief like a black hole paralyzes - loneliness and de...
