I’d like to introduce Mr. Jasper James Myrick. We adopted him today from a rescue. He’s about 4-1/2 years old, and is a Lab/Retriever mix. He’s a bit of a silly boy, but he’s very well behaved. He’s good on a leash, rides good in a car, and is an all around good doggie. We’re […]
Legendary drag racer and friend Wally Bell passed away yesterday. Wally was a nice man who took time to give a personal touch to the business of motorsports. He supplied me with t-shirts of his various cars for years, and as a young boy, you were likely to see me wearing them. In person, he […]
A very small group of people knew why Jack Roush accused Ray Evernham of doing something illegal to tires in 1998. In fact, we knew more about it than Jack Roush or Ray Evernham did, as it had absolutely nothing to do with either of them. Confused yet? Hahaha! Maybe one day someone will tell […]
I pay attention to many pastors, preachers, and missionaries. For some, I am honored to help them when and how I can, and I’m always happy to call them a friend. One of the few who was a friend before they came to proclaim the word of God is Donnie Floyd. I’ve mentioned Donnie before, […]
One of my friends gave me this interesting saying – “‘Go to Father!’ she said when he asked her to wed, because she knew that he knew that her father was dead. And she knew that he knew what a life he had led, so she knew that he knew what she meant when she […]
I’ve said that when Buddy was gone, I’d say – “He always tried so hard to be a good boy.” Buddy was a true overcomer who proved his street smarts, agility, protective instincts, and strength time and time again, even as his body was unknowingly being ravaged by cancer. Our constant and curious shadow, he […]
Dale Earnhardt Jr’s recent NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony marks the eleventh NASCAR Hall of Famer I’ve had the privilege to work with. Dale was always kind, shy, and grateful in my dealings with him. One story that sticks in my mind is when he first signed his deal with Adidas, and he needed […]
*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes* Ingredients: In a blender, combine the dressing mix, milk and cream cheese. Pour mixture over the potatoes and bacon pieces in a 9″ baking dish. Top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
I don’t follow NASCAR that closely any more, but I’d like to congratulate my family, friends, and former co-workers at Hendrick Motorsports on winning the 2021 NASCAR Cup Championship with Kyle Larson. Kyle is clearly an amazing once-in-a-generation type driver, and the talent he’s displayed this year has been incredible. His driving talent is clear, […]
*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes* Ingredients: In a small saucepan, heat the sugar, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool while you prepare the other ingredients. Mix the sugar mixture into the prepared vegetables, cover and refrigerate about 24 hours before serving cold. […]
