Occasionally I have thoughts. Sometimes I write them down.
Who cares what an ol’ Amarillo boy thinks?
Well, I hope you do. The stuff here isn’t really about Amarillo. It’s what you get when someone with Amarillo in their blood looks at life.
There’s a little bit of everything here. Humor. Heartache. Pickups. Dogs. Cool old cars and bad road trips. Some things may even be inspiring.
I hope you enjoy these thoughts. The next time I think of something, I’ll write it down. If you want to know when that happens, sign up and I’ll let you know. And if you like my posts, please spread the word.
