Father’s Day Special

Back in my day, Father’s Day wasn’t a major production. There weren’t any gift guides, online wish lists, or social media posts with fifteen paragraphs about how your daddy was your hero, your mentor, your best friend, your life coach, your spirit animal, and the wind beneath your wings.

The Alligator

Happy Wednesday to all my most-est favorit-est swampies! I sure do love my job. I get to write to all my best buddies in the whole wide world every week, only occasionally pontificating about a few things that are important to me or that I have opinions about. Not that that Hide is opinionated.

Back in my day

Back in my day, if somebody told you they “listened” to a book, we assumed they either couldn’t read or had a kindly aunt named Louise sittin on the porch readin Louis L’Amour out loud while shelling butter beans.
