At the Barbershop - 2/5/10

Feeling sick for two weeks can leave you a lot of time to think. And since my mind is going 100 miles an hour on a normal day, the last thing I need is time to think. Lewis Black once hypothesized that hearing the dumbest thing he’d ever heard could be the possible cause of [...]

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the basketball is so delightful, and since there’s so much to know, let’s gather round the old barber pole.

Yeah! In your face Perry Como! How’s that taste Bing? Cower in shame Elmo & Patsy! It’s time for a Christmastime barbershop! Ho, ho, ho!

At the barbershop – summer edition

Ah, summer. Time to head to the barbershop for a flattop or buzz cut so you can be cool and sunburn your scalp. Time for vacation in June, fireworks in July, & back to school shopping in August. Hittin’ the swimming pool or fishin’ hole. And when I was young, more than anything, summer meant [...]

Unless you are from the Chillicothe, MO area or a Missouri sportswriter, chances are that you’ve never heard of Bob Carter.

When it’s time to relax…

That silence you hear is the sound of a deep breath. For 5 days, nothing is happening in the Ozarks high school sports world except practice.

I’ll have another Barbershop column [...]

In 1988, I graduated from Richland High School. I watched my younger brother play basketball for years after that, attended his graduation ceremonies in the gym, and promptly vowed that I would never again set foot in the school. Almost 20 years removed from that vow, I have no idea why I made it. None. [...]

At the barbershop – 1/8/09

As I travel through this progression of events & experiences known as life, I pick up little bits of wisdom along the way. Some I gain from simple observations I make. Others come from things shared by my fellow man. But the most lasting lessons come from my own experiences. It was through this path [...]

At the barbershop – 12/18/08

When I was a kid, we had a real, live barbershop in our town, as many towns do. And most of the men (and their sons) in town got their hair cut their hair cut there. It looked like it had been transported straight out of the early 20th century. Two big, comfy barber chairs. [...]
