We’ve always heard the variations of the cliché “Life is too short.” Life is too short to not have dessert. Life is too short to pass on an opportunity. Life is too short to be complacent and not go after what you really want. That last one has special meaning for me now. I’m going…… MORE

Freda Ross: 5/5/15 Do you hear what I hear?
I think we would all agree that we don’t take enough time to “stop and smell the roses.” I experienced a “warm fuzzy” over the weekend when I put up my new wind chimes for the season. I love being on the patio or even sitting in my den and hearing the clink, clink, clink…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 5/4/15 Relax why don’t ya?
Posted on May 4, 2015 If you listen to these commentaries on a regular basis, you know that Veronica and I bought a house not so long ago. And we haven’t rested since. The place was built in 1925 and for a home that is 90 years old, it’s in very good shape. However, a lot…… MORE
Chad Dixon: 5/1/15 Hobbies
Most of us have hobbies…well, I seem to collect ’em. It started in college when I got really into fish tanks, or as us nerds call it “tanking”…See, the problem is, I feed of other people’s excitement. If you’re jazzed about tic-tac-toe, I’m jazzed about tic-tac-toe. Anyways, my roommate in college was a diving instructor and…… MORE
Sam Putney: 4/30/15 Apple Watch
Finally, the long-awaited Apple Watch has hit the streets. It can deliver emails and texts. It can track your health stats. You can also use it as a payment device. It ranges in price from $349 to $17,000 but you have to have an iPhone to make it work because most of it’s functions only…… MORE
Matt Stoker: 4/29/15 Mavs season comes to a close
There’s a weird feeling I get at the end of basketball season. It’s the only sport I really follow, so I’m left with a kind of emptiness. It’s probably best described as “what now?” 29 other fan groups will have to deal with that same feeling while one gets to ride the high of a…… MORE
Rick Hadley: 4/27/15 Discovering the Trinity
The Trinity River. The words probably don’t inspire, right? If you’re like most Dallasites you instantly think of that dirty waterway that runs under I-35 south of downtown. Well there’s a lot more to it than that. I recently paid my first visit to the extensive trails located between the levees. And it leads me…… MORE
Robbie Hoy: 4/24/15 A twister! A twister!
It’s that time of year again when the weather starts to get warmer, the blue bonnets are blooming, the fireflies are scattered throughout yards across North Texas… oh yeah and we have to keep one ear open at all times for tornado sirens. I’ve lived through my share of tornadoes, growing up in the DFW…… MORE
Dave Williams: 4/23/15 Storm clouds and brisket
Posted on April 23, 2015 This past weekend Carolann’s brother and his wife came for a visit from their home in San Diego. We took them to the usual places: Dealey Plaza, the Ballpark, Cowboys Stadium. We took pictures of them in fields of bluebonnets and astride the five dollar longhorn in Stockyards Station. But…… MORE
Eric Bushman: 4/22/15 Testing my weakness
Like many of my fellow human beings, I have a few weaknesses. The top of the list is a sandwich. For the past few months, I’ve heard the talk and then saw the signs that a Jimmy John’s was headed across from the parking lot of the station and wondered if it would ever open.…… MORE
