Mules 42, Littlefield 51
I am sad to report that the Mighty Mules faltered tonight, as the Littlefield Wildcats slipped past them 51-42 in an exciting, hard-fought game. You should have been there. The stream of traffic was heavy as the Littlefield fans made their way to Benny Douglas...
An R-Rated Tale From School-Or Maybe PG-13 In Today’s World
A while back I shared some stories from school with you. You may also have read about my attending a Jaston Williams writing workshop in Lubbock the other day. I shared a story from school at the workshop in one of our assignments, as we were writing from life...
Mules 37, Childress 14
The game was relatively short, but the drive was not, so I am a bit late in reporting that Muleshoe came out on top against Childress last night, 37-14. The weather was wonderful; we took cold weather clothes and blankets, and then sat there in shirt sleeves and light...
But The Agave Lives On
If you read last week’s blog, “Death of an Agave,” you know that my oldest, biggest agave ended its life by blooming. But what I didn’t mention is that besides blooming to procreate, agaves also produce babies, called pups, and I found eight that had hidden under...
Mules 48, Dimmitt 7
The Dimmitt Bobcats came to town and the Mules came to the game with pink feet in support of finding a cure for breast cancer. Those pink feet carried the Mules to victory to the tune of 48 to 7. I was banished to the house and not allowed to watch the game in person...

Jaston Williams of Greater Tuna fame, was in Lubbock this past weekend to conduct a writing workshop, The Art and Heart of the Story, hosted by and held in the Lubbock Community Theatre at the corner of Boston and 43rd Street. (More about LCT next week.) I couldn’t...
Mules 40, Bushland 17
The Mules traveled to Bushland tonight for their second district win. It was a long game, a cold game, a somewhat uneven game, but the Mules persevered and won 40 to 17. If you recall last week’s game against Friona, you might remember that the scoreboard was...
600 Miles and 60 Years
I traveled back home to Rosenberg a few weeks ago to pay my respects to Loma Koenig, mother of my friend Carol Sue and friend of my family. I had also been back to Rosenberg for the class reunion in August, so between the two trips I had a double dose of one of those...
