After George's death, I remembered I had a tape of that show. My lat
3 weeks ago I remember Jump Roping for Heart one Saturday morning at Thruston School. Dozens of us elementary school kids were there, back in the day, to jump rope and raise money for the American Heart Association. Our gym teacher, Mr. Marx, put Irene Cara's "Fame" on the record player and off we went. We were going to live . . . or jump rope . . . forever and light up the skies with our names. LOL! I think we jumped rope for about three hours straight and we thought we were jump roping all-stars. Boy, were we wrong! Check this gal out!

4 weeks ago What a beautiful little Texas town, but such an enormous tragedy that happened. This weekend on my way back to Dallas from San Antonio, I stopped by the town of West, Texas to pay my respects -- and, I guess, to satisfy that curiosity bug I had about what everything looks like.
4 weeks ago Back in the 1982, I wasn't listening to country music. Well, let me correct that. I wasn't listening to country radio. I was listening to pop and rock. But those stations were playing plenty of country music at the time--Eddie Rabbitt, Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, and, yes, Willie Nelson.

The City of Owensboro is holding a public meeting tonight at 6:30 about the skate park
