Clay’s Corner

Driving back and forth from work every day has become so routine. I can look at a certain point on the road and tell you how long it will be before I get home or to an appointment. You get the jest. But driving home yesterday had a different feel about it. Something I hadn't heard before. It was like the road was calling out to me. Turning down the radio, I let the road talk to me.

Thanksgiving. A day set aside from all other day that we give thanks. Yes we should give thanks everyday for all of the blessings that we have. Yes, we are the most blessed nation on this earth. but most of the time we take it for granted...

There are some things that will never change. For example, the first Tuesday in November is election day.

We can't escape the fact, as harsh as it may seem, that senseless acts of violence are not just for the big city anymore. My town, Duncan, Oklahoma has been cast into a national and international spotlight for a crime that did not have to be committed.

There are some things in life that you will always have a certain fear about. For me, the dentist is one of them.

The sounds of roller coasters ascending and then descending. The unmistakable smell of amusement park food. People everywhere.

Jean Stapleton who was the far better half of Archie Bunker in All in the Family died last Friday at the age  of 90. Now while this is not new news, I have a different take on her passing.

This week began as any week can or should. We had already seen some storm damage from Sunday and Monday came around muggy and the chance of storms again.

Mid May already? Seems like yesterday we were buying new shoes and school clothes and getting all the supplies they needed.

Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. A large - no make that a main staple of breakfast plates all over the country. Especially here in Oklahoma.

Lets face it. Everywhere you turn, people are telling you that you need to go green. Now I will not argue that we need to recycle.  I am not going 180 out and change the way I do it all. But I do agree on a few of these suggestions.

Time to mow the lawn.  Yes, the spring ritual that has once again caused men from all walks of life to get out their lawn tools and to have fun working on them and making noise.
