[March 23, 2024] I have a new series about young men. My idea is to provide sound, time-tested advice on how to be a good man.

[March 19, 2024] Who said the “old days” weren’t wonderful?

“Hey, drink this.” I was freezing cold in Dad’s jon boat as we puttered down the Ouachita River. The bayou Bonne Idee was closer but Dad wanted us to go where he’d heard the fish were biting.

[March 9, 2024] The bayou water was like glass, not a ripple, nothing moving except our aluminum flat-bottom jon boat as it slowly glided along with its silent electric motor.
