  • Bill Tinsley ‘O My Soul’

    Whatever happened to the concept of the soul? All our conversation, it seems, revolves around our bodies and money: how we look, how to stay healthy, how to remain young, how to become wealthy.

    Having hindsight in the little New Jersey resort town of Wildwood will soon be a civic offense punishable by a $25 fine.

  • Belcher, Bob.jpg Bits and pieces from all over

    I’m all for taking the quickest route from “Point A” to “Point B” as much as the next guy.
    I guess it’s just human nature to want to get to where you are going as quickly and efficiently as you can so you can get on with your life.
    There have to be some limits to that, though.

  • Janet Jacobs Father’s Day dilemma

    What to get my father for Father’s Day is one of those no-win situations, like nuclear war or when you’re eating something someone worked really hard to cook but it’s awful. Lie and they poison their own family. Tell the truth and you’re an insensitive jerk. You’re toast, either way.

  • deannakirk.jpg My Daddy, My Hero

    A dad is a little girl’s first hero. I realize not everyone is fortunate enough to have a father in the picture from birth, but for those who do, he can be a giant.
    I write this on Flag Day, June 14, Friday, which marks four years since my Daddy departed his earthly body and went to reside with his Savior. I miss him. Strangely, his own father, Fred. E. “Bud” Brown also passed away on this date in 1985.
    Those two men were my heroes.

  • Platt Dick 2012.jpg It makes no sense

    There are a lot of things I see or hear of every day that make no sense to me. At the top of my list is our criminal justice system. At this point, I could go into a rant about lawyers but I won’t — I’ve got too much class to tell lawyer jokes. Well, maybe just one?

  • deannakirk.jpg Its a ‘baby thing’

    I guess every birth is as unique as the child it produces.
    After having inductions at 38 weeks (with NO epidural) myself, I was unprepared for the “going into labor on your own” avenue of childbearing. (For anyone not familiar, I’m discussing grandchildren here.)

  • Belcher, Bob.jpg Real world issue

    Our Janet Jacobs has a story in today’s paper about the early work on the City of Corsicana 2013-14 budget, and some of the challenges they are facing in the coming year.
    I feel quite certain that we all can “relate” to that — it’s a battle the working folk in this city, and hundreds of other cities across the nation, have been fighting for some time now.

  • Bill Tinsley Teachable moments

    A few summers ago, my wife and I had the privilege of keeping our grandchildren for a few weeks in Montana. They were 8, 10 and 11. We normally saw them for a few days two or three times a year. I felt like Santa Claus, showering them with presents at Christmas, but not part of their daily lives.

  • Platt Dick 2012.jpg Storm warnings

    This will be the first time The Little Woman (she dislikes that name) and I will have spent an entire hurricane season here on the Gulf Coast. Predictions range from “It’s just another year in paradise” to “you may not have to wait until Christmas to have a tree in your house!”
