“Half the town is drunker than snot 24 hours a day, and they don’t kill anybody”
Ms. Opal Lee and New Year’s Day
I was fortunate enough to attend an event on New Year’s Day with the grandmother of Juneteenth and serve at her event alongside her.
960 Miles to Havana Part Two
It was May 16th, 2016 and we were taking on 1000 gallons of fuel at the Galveston Yacht basin. It was 5:30 pm. I was hoping for an earlier departure but had a couple of delays
Nightmare Hospital
The Beach Army Hospital ads to the lists of haunted places in Mineral Wells Texas. And some say it could be one of the most haunted locations in all of Texas. After visiting there myself, I agree.
960 Miles to Havana Part Four

The sun had set over the horizon and as darkness draped the Hemingway Marina an inconvenient truth became abundantly clear; we had lost Roberto. It was strange to describe a 56-year-old man as lost.
960 Miles to Havana Part Three
It was 5 am and we were meeting the regatta to make our 90-mile journey in the predawn darkness. We were just outside the Stock Island channel and I was looking for the big catamarans because most of the people in our group had chartered catamaran yachts in Key West to make the journey across.
The Old Fort Worth Power Plant
The Fort Worth Power and Light Company Power plant was first built in 1912. The power plant was the first main source of power for Fort Worth Texas. The old and now abandoned building still boasts the dramatic Beaux-Arts style of architecture that was once popular in the early 1900s. But despite the glimpses of a faraway time that can still be seen, the old power plant continues to become more disheveled.
The LaGrave Field Curse
Panther Park was first opened to Fort Worth residents in 1911, originally located on the West Side of Main St. But the park was moved just blocks away and renamed LaGrave Field in 1926.
