Earthly Ambassadors for Above

When a cowboy or bull rider reaches a level where he gets a corporate sponsorship, he works for that sponsor. When we own our own business, we want employees that represent us to the public well and we think twice about how we speak to someone. We take our commitment to our sponsor seriously and we care that he or she or the business is well-represented. 02/21/2024 05:00

The occasion was the 2020 Presidential election, and I volunteered at the polls along with a very interesting bunch of fellow volunteers, Republicans and Democrats alike. 02/21/2024 05:00

Growing Up in Bandera

I have a whole list of special things I experienced as a youngster roaming these parts back in the day. I truly wish I could go back and relive some of those things before I cash in my chips. The reality is, very little of the things, places or people from my early life are still around. It just wouldn’t be possible. 02/14/2024 00:00
