I've been fascinated by ventriloquism since I was a kid, watching TV and seeing some of the greatest ventriloquists work their "magic." Now, along comes Nina Conti, with a new "twist" to an old showbiz act! You've gotta see this video!

If you've been following my posts here, you know that Easter weekend was the weekend we finally made our move to a house in Victoria, after having commuted from El Campo (53 miles each way!) for over 1-1/2 years. The first night we spent in our new house, we were welcomed into our new neighborhood by a nice couple that lives nearby. It was nice to meet them! However, there is a "welcome to th

Wow! This looks cool! (No pun intended...well, okay, maybe a little!) If you're a DIY'er--or are looking for an easy, practical project to get started on your way to becoming one--this looks like just the project! And with summer coming soon, this looks very practical, too! It's an ice-cooled air conditioner made from a 5-gallon paint bucket!

Do you--or someone you know--scour the newspaper for yard sale ads? Or drive all over town on Saturday mornings, hunting a good deal at a yard/garage sale? While it's true there are often great bargains to be found, according to noted financial expert Dave Ramsey, there are also some items you should NEVER purchase at such sales!

My wife and I have often talked about how nice it would be to have an RV of some sort. I kind of like the idea of a travel trailer, as that would allow us to "un-hitch" the pickup truck to drive to somewhere other than where we park the trailer to "camp out." But then, sometimes, I think it would be nice to have a big ol' motorhome! Now, one of the most famous manufacturers of

I came across this collection of hilarious photos, showing how some people just don't see the irony that is right before their very eyes! We all fail on occasion, but when someone else does it, we get to reap the comedic benefits!

I've known this young lady since she was in middle school (her parents are good friends of mine), and I've played drums for her many times on stage in northeast Arkansas. Now, she's a college coed, sorority member, and writing, recording and singing her own music. Not surprising...she comes from a LONG line of talented professional entertainers! Her dad Craig plays keyboard for Loretta Lynn, and h

The Club at Colony Creek (301 Colony Creek Drive in Victoria) is offering a free ladies golf clinic from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, for a limited time. The instructor is Matt Fawkes. Participants do not need to register for the clinic. All equipment will be provided...

The ABC-TV hit drama series, Nashville, has brought a lot of attention to the Music City itself, with the show being shot on location, incorporating real places (and a few fictional ones) and real Country artists and other celebrities into the episodes. Now, to be honest, I haven't seen one full episode, because it comes on WAY past my bedtime! But I found this article to be very interesting, as I

You hear us say this on the air all the time: "We're the only station that plays a George Strait song for you every hour..." Here in South Texas, it's difficult to find anybody who doesn't at least LIKE "King George," and frankly, most folks LOVE his music! So do a lot of other artists and songwriters. How many other songs "name-drop" the King of Country Music? This v
