So, here’s the thing. When the Wildcats host Manzano on Friday at 7 p.m. they will be playing their last regular-season home game. As in, last time...

Are you considering trying to buy a light bulb? Good luck to you. A few evenings ago, my wife and I were in Amarillo baby-sitting (playing with, laughing with, snuggling with, rollicking and frollicking with) some sweet grandkids. At some point, I discovered both that my phone was needing a charge and that I’d forgotten the cable charged with supplying that need. Eight% left. Red light blinking weakly. Screen dimming to conserve its faltering power. My phone! Perilously c...
