The donut of my childhood dreams has finally come to Texarkana. Over a year in the making, Shipley Do-nuts is now open on Arkansas, Blvd. Be still my beating heart.

Not just Elvis, how about Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Fats Domino, George Jones (yeah, he showed up), Conway Twitty, Louis Armstrong even Mae West performed in the Arkansas Municipal Auditorium. From ragtime to jazz, boogie-woogie to blues, country and rock-n-roll and everything in between, it all echos through these halls of time, plaster, wood and concrete, straining for re-birth

It's been over a year since ground broke on the donuts of my dreams, Shipley Do-nuts, and it looks like we're getting close. Look there, in the window, it's a "Now Hiring" sign! I grew up in Houston where Shipley began, and I love 'em! I can only hope they live up to my memories.

Maroon 5's Super Bowl halftime show yesterday proved one thing: Hardly anyone likes the band.

Comic book legend and Superhero creator Stan Lee passed away today, November 12, 2018, a sad day in the comic book and superhero movie world for sure. Several years ago my wife and I were at a Comic Convention in Dallas or San Antonio or somewhere... and I dang near accidentally took him out myself. Let me tell you about the day I almost ran over Stan Lee.

I have been an Assistant Leader/Committee person in BSA Troop 3 for about six years now and I know how proud I was in 2017 when my son earned his Eagle Scout rank, so I also know exactly how proud five more families are today.

Today is National "Video Games Day," and after some serious consideration, I believe I have come up with my own Top 5 list of my all-time favorite video games. And no Lisa, "Pong" is not one of them.

The Four States Fair returns to Texarkana September 14 - 23, that means it's time to start searching for talented youth for the Stars Youth Talent Show!
