Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

Wednesday Story day again. Last week we witnessed Ben and Alexis come together and discovered they are absolutely on different pages. Alexis looked like she was trying to find out what Ben was planning to do. If so, she was probably an agent of Trudy Worthe. The two did discover that Mrs. Worthe told each […]

Top Ten Things Not to do on Memorial Day

  As you know, I would normally have a Top Ten list which contains tongue in cheek advice on how to behave under certain circumstances. Today I only have one thing on the list that I could repeat ten times (but I won’t). On Memorial Day, do not go through the day without remembering those who […]

Friday JohnKu – AKA- TGIF

Friday has to one of the best days of the week. I know when I get up on Friday, I feel like it is special somehow. Just knowing Saturday is just eight hours and change away puts a smile on my face. It wasn’t always that way. I remember when I was held prisoner by […]

Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day

Wednesday Story Day again. Last week we left Mrs. Wolfe and Ben with the possibility that Mrs. Worthe will let Ben talk to Father Lightfoot (Raymond) with the direction to take a nap. Mrs. Worthe took Ben’s phone so he will have no choice but to play whatever song Mrs. Worthe wants to hear. Let’s […]

Top Ten Things Not to Do at the Property Tax Protest Meeting

  In Texas, it is that time of the year when all property owners have the constitutional right to contest the property tax assessment delivered by the county. The inspiration for this list was listening to the stories told by my dear wife after her return from her meeting with the tax assessor.  Yes, you […]
