Plans were to get back on track for writing my column on Wednesday this week — a tornado had other ideas. First I procrastinated while finishing a novel, then I watched the late Albuquerque news. The weather guy had picked up on radar-indicated rotation in a storm system north of Cannon Air Force Base, but his report was all over the place as to what was actually happening and whether or not a tornado warning was issued. My normal phone alerts weren’t going off for even a sev...

Victor Velasquez originally wanted to make money in baseball. One day, though, while playing in his grandfather's garage, he found some clippers and gave his brother a mohawk haircut like the mixed martial arts fighter Chuck Liddell. Those clippers were dog clippers, but it didn't matter; he had given a haircut and he liked the feel of the clippers in his hand. Now he has a barber shop, "House of Fadez," in downtown Clovis, at 516 N. Main. The News spent some time with...

Dreams — mostly I haven’t given them much thought because I don’t usually remember my own dreams. When I do remember them, the memories are choppy and not plain or they’re startling enough to be nightmares. Such was the case recently that got me thinking about dreams on the conscious side of my 24-hour day. I was startled awake about 5 a.m. the other morning after a dream produced a terrifying enough image in my brain to wake me quickly and completely enough to leave fragmen...

Night skies are maybe as close as a person can come to God. If you’ve ever rolled out of a sleeping bag in the mountains at 2 a.m. you know what I mean. You can turn away from a campfire and look at the skies, but it’s not the same as getting up in the dark after you’ve been asleep a few hours. The stars can be so close it seems you could reach out and grab them. If the moon is up and anything bigger than a sliver you have a blazing nightlight to go potty by. I kicked myself f...

I’ve frequently told folks that I raised my mother. I’m not totally sure she appreciates me saying that, but I love her and it’s just tough if she doesn’t like it. I am the oldest of three siblings and I was born while she was in her teen years. So by the time I was 10 and becoming more responsible, she was in her mid-20s. Couple those facts with everyone telling me I was born an old man, and there you have the recipe. I mostly liked working side-by-side with my mother,...

One of my fondest memories of starting Pee Wee baseball was getting home with the uniform and wondering what I should do with those fancy striped socks. First of all, they didn’t have any toes and playing without toes in my socks didn’t sound like a great idea. After discussing the situation with others I found out that I needed to put a pair of white athletic socks on first and then the stirrup socks. As I got a little older, I became aware that the more you stretch tho...
