Philosophical Q and A
Lately I have noticed articles and interviews of celebrities that include a list of open-ended questions. What do you appreciate more as you age? More women should… What do you cherish more than anything else? What is more important to you today than it was twenty...
The Wolf of Wall Street-What Were They Thinking?
I thought I needed to see this movie the other day, Oscars coming up and all. It’s nominated in five different categories, you know: lead actor; supporting actor; adapted screenplay; best director; and the biggie, best picture. Best example of well-acted glamorized...
Bricks, Blankets, and Two-Dog Nights
After putting up with cold sheets for most of the winter this year, it dawned on us to add an electric blanket to our linen collection. Why didn’t we think of this sooner? It has been a while since we have had an electric blanket. Over the years they would quit...
Ronnie Jones 1941-2014
The Voice of the Mules on Friday nights will not be the same next football season; half of the Bob and Ronnie team will be watching from the clouds. Ronnie Jones passed away January 22, 2014. Ronnie grew up in Oklahoma and briefly in Texas, moving back to Texas and...

A New Golden Rule for the Internet Age
I’m sure I’m showing my age, but social media has done a number on social graces. Remember the old adage, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything". What about the Golden Rule: "Do undo others as you would have then do undo you." Well, Twitter took care of...
The Magazine Wars
You may remember my frustration over Vogue magazine and the lack of relevancy to my life (“My Love-Hate Relationship With Vogue Magazine,” September 12, 2013). Well, the plot thickens! Not long after that blog, a September issue of Cosmopolitan appears in the mail....
Happy New Year!
I finally get computer capabilities back, and I’m still late posting on the blog. Football was the problem this time. I was so wound up watching Johnny Football and the Aggies come from behind to win the Chick Fil-A Bowl that I just didn’t get it done. In case you...
Computers Are Wonderful-When They Work
