Old Man Smell

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Some guy just came into the office, very nicely dressed and very
cordial, but reeking of the Old Man Smell. I don’t think he means to
smell that way, but old men just have an Old Man Smell (not you, Dad,
yet anyway). It lingered a little after he left. I’ll probably have

Making headlines

Monday, April 7th, 2008

A story I wrote for Sunday’s paper got picked up all over the country (including Canada, a suburb of the U.S.) and even on a China news site. AP did a rewrite of my story and it went out on the wire. But not everybody used it as a news story. From the Lone Star [...]
