The year was 1986 and I suddenly found myself being asked to step way outside my comfort zone — even into countries I might never travel to in my life. Let me explain. At that time I had only been married four years and my life was changing in so many ways and I was being challenged with work and life. I had begun a role in sales at the newspaper and was doing well and a couple of people I really looked up to conspired to get me into the local Rotary Club in Tucumcari. I w...

I live on the edge of town in a quiet neighborhood — quiet enough I don’t get trick-or-treaters interrupting whatever important program I’m watching on TV. My late wife used to lament the fact that we never or rarely ever had any of the candy freeloaders show up on our doorstep. I kinda liked the fact that she would stock up on chocolate candy and someone had to eat it. I liked it even more at the places where we lived out in the country with absolutely no chance of having to...
Portales' Tate Turnbough has high praise for Gary Crandall. "He's a jack-of-all-trades. If you need help, he's there on a moment's notice," Turnbough said. "Pick up trash? Clean streets? Pick up people's yards? Decorate a fair booth? He does anything and everything. "He does so much for the community that people don't even realize. He might seem like a regular guy but he's the kind of guy we need more of." So we asked Crandall to tell us about himself. Q: Tell us about where...

I don’t remember how old I was, but I do remember being hungry. What I’ll describe took place, I think I recall, on a Sunday morning, and I know it was many decades ago. I feel sure that I was minding my own business. I know my mother was minding hers for that morning as she happened to be doing some cooking, probably for a church dinner, as I happened to be making my way through the kitchen. The details have long since become a bit foggy. I recall that, on a platter, bro...

Did you see the aurora borealis? I’m not sure this time. I saw them on everyone’s Facebook feed but mine last Thursday night. So I took a drive on a dark country road to see what I could see. Using my imagination, I could detect a faint glow above the horizon — or maybe it was the glow from the lights of a dairy or Cannon Air Force Base. After I got back and saw a few more photos online and on the late news I went back out in the back yard and could see the magenta caste...

He has traveled to many places around the globe, he knows much about the innards of the planet and he knows the taste of sheep eyeballs (they're "grisly and not much flavor at all").

If you’re old enough to remember licking trading stamps for your mother, you likely grew up in the 1960s or earlier. Somehow a conversation with a Gen Z coworker got off onto the topic of trading stamps. Talk about a quizzical look on someone’s face as I began to describe what I was talking about. My head might as well have been purple with horns in place of my ears. So this column will be a walk down memory lane for those of you my age or older and for the two or three Gen...

Every dog that’s ever adopted me had its own unique sleep habits, some of them a bit strange. Take for instance, when we first got the little dog Maggie, who sleeps with me every night in the bed. The first night with her, when bedtime came she jumped into the dirty laundry basket and was asleep before I got into bed myself. Later she still took naps in the laundry basket but she soon figured out sleeping in the bed with the humans was allowed. One stretch when my late wife w...
