But let’s start by reviewing the ugly stuff so we can end the column and start the new year with the positive. The bad We suffered through another year of COVID restrictions imposed by our governments. Those restrictions didn’t do much for us but that hasn’t stopped president...

A year ago we appeared to be surfacing from a nasty surge of the pandemic. I was pretty sure brighter days were just around the corner. Then two days into the new year, I was chasing a helicopter on its way to Lubbock with my wife onboard. I didn’t get her back home with me until March. I wasn’t too sure for a while I would get her home. At the same time my baby sister was in a hospital waiting on a heart/kidney transplant. This year started out really bad but it got bet...

Anybody on too high a horse could very well get taken down a few pegs when they open a present that isn’t exactly what they want or even figured on. My dad was the master at guessing what was in a package. We suspected a pocketknife may have aided him in his abilities, but maybe lack of creativity in gift selection might have had som...
