First off, let me say I didn't get taken, thank goodness, I recognized it for what it was early enough in the process that I saved myself the hassle and expense. This story though, is for those who haven't yet encountered it so you know what to look for.

Geek'd Con 2023 wrapped up over a week ago and I'm finally getting to tell you about my experience working the booth THE Mandalorian. Not the voice you hear on the TV show, I'm talking about one of the guys wearing the suit and doing the acting. His name is Barry Lowin.

Father's Day is just around the corner and first let me say that I'm very proud of all my kids, I was never a perfect father and they're not perfect either, but they're mine and I love them and I'm super proud of all of them. Just about two months ago I found out something that will surprise nobody reading this that has been there before me... becoming a grandparent is the greatest thing in the wo

Ok, this is just between me and you... I'm a little sad today, why? Because my wife and I, and a couple of friends went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Texarkana, one... last... time.

In a recent report from WalletHub.com America is fat, and getting fatter by the minute. Where do the Great States of Arkansas and Texas fall into the obesity column and what can you do about it? Let's find out.

Hey, it's Jim, your 'Just Plane Nuts' Correspondent back with another bunch of plane stories. I will be posting pictures from the AllianceTexas Aviation Expo that took place over the weekend in Fort Worth, Texas featuring the amazing Air Force Thunderbirds later this week, for right now though, how about something kinda cool that happened...

The biggest problem with making Bucket Lists is my list keeps getting longer the older I get. If God allows me to live out most of my list, I will be here a long, long time. Fingers crossed.

How long has it been since you went spelunking? It's been a couple of years for me, but I know a place in Arkansas that gives you an opportunity to do just that, or, you can do the regular tour as we did, it's pretty cool too. This is the Cosmic Cavern, located in Berryville, Arkansas, and it is, "Worth the Drive".

Since my mother, and now a whole bunch of my new family (long story), lives in Houston, I make pretty frequent trips down there to see them. On one of those trips a few years ago I found out that the Houston Wing of the Commemorative Air Force is based at the West Houston Airport (IWS), very near my mother's house. Then I found out they have a "Hanger Hang Out" every three weeks or so on

I love Thanksgiving, I love getting together with family and friends and stuffing our faces, loosening our belts afterward, and nodding off while the Cowboys beat the heck out somebody, anybody. But as I sit here and think about the preparations for the upcoming Turkey Day I do come to the same conclusion, there are at least 5 Thanksgiving side dishes that have got to go.

My wife is not a sports fan, at all really, I am and do enjoy watching the Olympic Games and cheering on Team USA, but after a few hours of swimming, biking, weight lifting and such, I need something else to watch for while. So, my wife and I thought we would share a list of some good TV to watch that literally has nothing to do with sports. There are a few on here I haven't seen yet either, but t

Did you know... there is such a thing as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas? Commonly referred to as ERCOT, this is apparently the governing body in Texas over preparedness and energy needs within the state. I think we can safely say that this 'governing body' fumbled this current deep freeze emergency rather badly as we still have millions of Texans with no power for over 24 hours and no r
