Friday the 13th I drove my wife to a Doctor's appointment this morning... While she was in to see the doctor I pulled up Facebook on my phone and was just scrolling thru the posts. I came upon a tribute to Marie Freeman that sounded beautiful but sad... After following…
Halloween It's Saturday and I slapped at the alarm when it went off at 6:30. So for southeast Texas, it's a cold and bright morning on the back porch... so I won't be hanging out here. It's not the cold running me in, it's that ball of light halfway up…

Mountain Sunrise Morning Coffee Muses Boy the sun rises early here. It's a chilly start to the morning here on Tom's Knob. It's 51 and change to start the day. There's a hound baying up the road. Unknown birds singing to the daybreak. Now there's another dog answering the hound.…
First Mountain Morning Coffee Muses A beam of sunlight streaming thru a hole in the blinds woke me this morning. I stumbled to the kitchen and started the coffee maker before wandering outside with my camera. The above is the sight that greater me. And the big image at the…
Reading my email today, I received a notice from YouTube about this video posted by UNC-TV. Since it covers two of my passions, North Carolina and coffee, I thought I would post it here. I know from past videos that this kind of "barista art"is becoming quite common. But, as I don't frequent…
