This morning, two days after Christmas, a blue norther rolled across Dallas. For those who don't know, a blue norther is when cold air pushes down the great plains. Temperatures can drop dramatically in minutes. This happens in many places, but in Texas, we call it a blue norther.

A recent study shows that listening to music that makes you feel joyful could have an healthy impact on blood vessel function.Apparently, listening to music that makes you feel joyful can increase blood vessel diameter by 26%, thus increasing blood flow. So I began thinking what music makes me feel joy, because, ya know, I could use more blood flow.

A feather soft fall leaf fell on my shoulder
Like a page from an old unread volume of history
Pages covered with fading ink telling
The story of my ancestors

High Noon, Toddler Style

Recently, my wife and I took care of our nephew Monster, while his mother and father went off on a much needed weekend get-away.
You should know that Monster is a really cool kid, but he is nearly three-years old and is doing his dead level best to make a guest appearance in a "Feed the Children" TV commercial. Getting Monster to eat anything requires a mixture of cajoling, pleading, begging, bargaining and threats.

The Pain

pain, the pain
the twinge begats a pang, the ache sires a spasm
pain, the pain
the hiss of breath drawn, the grit of teeth ground
pain, the pain
the stab in the back, the fire through the nerves
pain, the pain
