Month: October 2018

October – A Time to Stop Bungee Jumping

October 29, 2018 ~ Buddy McElhannon ~ 2 Comments

I have mixed emotions about October. There is much to love in this first full month of Fall.  Autumn’s beauty bursting forth, summer’s heat waves cooled by northerly breezes, Fall Festivals abound, the World Series caps a long baseball season, college football is in full swing, and stores are full of Halloween candy, costumes and the … Continue reading October – A Time to Stop Bungee Jumping

Avoiding the Insanity of Immobility

October 25, 2018 ~ Buddy McElhannon ~ 5 Comments

Here I go again. This past week I had surgery on my right heel to remove a bone spur that was aggravating my Achilles tendon.

Halfway way down, he suddenly realized he was about to give a personal, painful demonstration of the law of gravity. Just as there are physical principles that … Continue reading Quenching the Flames of Resentment

Drinking from My Saucer

October 5, 2018 ~ Buddy McElhannon ~ 4 Comments

It was January 1969, and I had started dating the teenage girl who would eventually become my wife.  That year found me hanging around the Smith household many evenings, weekends, and just as often as Mom and Pop Smith would allow this lovestruck teenager to linger. My future mother-in-law often enjoyed a cup of coffee … Continue reading Drinking from My Saucer
