Good Evening TXK

A couple of months ago, I was standing in my mom’s bathroom talking to her while she was fixing her hair in the mirror, and she was just LAUGHING! I’m not talking about giggling—little chuckles here and there—I am saying uncontrollably laughing out loud while telling me about a little joke her boyfriend John made on their date the night before. She was laughing so hard that I was trying to hold back laughter myself even though I could not understand a single word she was saying because that’s how hard she was laughing.

The Family Business

Not only is there more to life than basketball, there's a lot more to basketball than basketball.” —former Chicago Bulls headcoach, Phil Jackson … Nobody knows the truth in this statement better than Steven and Bradley Lambeth. They are a father and grown son from the small northeast Texas town of McLeod (pronounced McCloud for those readers who have blinked while driving through). The Lambeths love basketball and have made it their mission and passion to coach high school students.

Less Slogs, More Delight

What are we reading in 2023? It’s tempting to me to consider a self-growth book for review and recommendation on the cusp of a new year for the stalwart resolution holders out there. It’s me! Hi! I’m one of them. I relish the wide-open opportunistic feeling of a new year, but if I’m being transparent...it took me exactly 12 months to slog through Think Again by Adam Grant. It felt like many of the books I chose in 2022 (weird to write past tense) were a slog. Good enough to finish, but difficult to remember. We’ve talked about this. I flushed my system with memoirs and hoped for the best.

Good Evening TXK

I drank hot tea for the very first time in my whole life the day I took the picture for this article. I felt so fancy. I’m a Texan, so the only tea I have ever known is obviously Chicken Express sweet tea, and if you don’t agree that’s the best sweet tea, don’t even talk to me. Never in a million years did I imagine I’d be drinking this wonderful, warm jasmine tea from Local Habit Coffee Co., or that I’d actually be enjoying it! It felt foreign to me, but it was also a nice, deep, long hug to me on that cold day.

Lesli's 2022 Top Ten Reads

It’s almost impossible for me to believe 2022 is coming to a close. I saw a meme the other day that said something to the effect of “We are one month away from 2023, and we are all still processing 2019. It was four years ago.” Is it just me or did it feel like we went from being neck deep in a global pandemic to “it’s over?” Yeah, still processing.

Blind Living

Ryan Yarnell was born and raised in Texarkana, Texas, by parents William Yarnell and Jeanette McLeod. Like many in northeast Texas, the outdoors began calling his name at a very early age. When he was eight or nine years old, Ryan’s dad took him hunting for the first time in the green timber woods of East Texas. His dad and uncles were the first people to show him the ropes, and he has been a fixture in the sport ever since. … In a blessed nation full of grocery stores, well stocked with a variety of quality meats, hunting is not like it was for the hunters of generations past.
