Thanking Dad…

By James E. Hester June 19, 2011

Childhood memories for me are very similar to more recent ones. Whether 5 or 35, some of the very best ones seem to have taken place in the woods or on the water. I thank Dad for that.

Random Goat Wanders Into Music Store

By James E. Hester April 21, 2011

We'll never know if the random goat that wondered into an Idaho music store was looking for heavy rock or classical music. What we do know, however, is that this goat obviously has a passion for harmonious tunes.

I Wear My Own Kind Of Hat

By James E. Hester December 15, 2010

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
-- Dr. Seuss
