Although Daniel and I enjoy many of the same things, we also have major differences in our personalities and ideas. For example, before he even starts boiling water for his morning tea, he gets dressed. I, on the other hand, can hang out in my PJs for hours. In fact, I’ve become an expert at fitting “sweats” over my PJs when necessary. Daniel considers the back of our dining room chair to be his closet. He neatly stacks his clothes at night in the order he will need them in the morning. On th...

The five men from Waitsburg and Aberdeen flushed out the 4-point white tail buck by spreading out around the brush on privately owned wheat lands north of town after walking the fields for more than a mile from the nearest road. It was a cool dewy morning, the sun barely up to illuminate the gently sloping landscape around them. It didn’t take long to spot the buck, to make sure it was l...
To say that Texans love their food is an understatement. As a kid, most of my summers were spent visiting my beloved grandparents and extended family in the great Lone Star State. Born and raised on the west coast, these trips never lacked in uniquely Texan culinary discoveries. Whether at a favorite restaurant, a smokey barbeque joint, or sitting around the table at a cousin's house, every family gathering was centered around sharing good food, and lots of it. It was at such an event that I...
