Saturday was one of those glorious, and totally unanticipated, days which pop up occasionally during the middle of October. Sunday wasn't bad, either.
Yours truly and The Other Half made their traditional, annual trek to the Fort Massac Encampment in Metropolis last Saturday morning. We were joined...
So much history to experience. So many books to read. So little time.
The Journey on the Road through Life took me on a bit of a trip back in time one day last week, thanks to a visit to the new home of a long-standing Union County business. And, I didn't even need one of those souped up DeLoreans...
Sigh...
...I didn't really want to start with a sigh. As I thought about it, a sigh seemed, well, appropriate...
For one thing, the Cardinals aren't playing in the postseason. To tell you the truth, it's not that surprising. They just kind of seemed to stumble through the 2016 season.
On the other...
A few things up front, before we get started on the "good stuff."
First, I just want to say that I really don't want to hear another mention of how the National Football League team known as the Rams has returned "home." The team's "home" was in St. Louis for about 20 some odd years. Before that,...

Another Union County Fair has come and gone, and as near as this observer could tell, the 2016 edition seemed to go quite well.
And that was a good thing, given...
Two songs flashed through the dust bin between my ears Monday morning as I started to compose this masterpiece. Songs...compose...get it...oh, never mind...
...maybe you know one of the songs...the lyrics implore mommas not to let their sons grow up to be cowboys...
...the other song was featured...
It's deja vu, all over again. In more ways than one.
Deja Vu Numero Uno: we're using deja vu for the second week in a row. Call it Deja Vu, Number Two, just for you.
