What's that boy up to now?
I have wanted to learn this song since my college days. Never managed to get it. Until a few years ago, when I bought a cheap used classical guitar. I liked the guitar (a Yamaha), so I figured since I now have a classical guitar, why don’t I give one more try to learning “Classical Gas”?
This time, I got it. I’ve since sold the guitar, but now I’ll always be able to play the song. Color me very happy.
Here is a video. Enjoy. And feel free to share.

I found out a few weeks ago that AT&T offers a 10% discount on wireless services for AARP members. I just happen to be an AARP member, and I use AT&T, so I decided it’s time to take advantage of this.

Millennial: No, sir, you …

Let’s talk about obstruction of justice. There are apparently a lot of people who do not believe that President Donald Trump has been involved in obstruction of justice regarding the FBI investigations of his campaign and associates. They come up with various lines of reasoning to explain why Trump’s requests to former FBI Director James Comey to back off of his investigations are not criminal, or are not technically obstruction, or whatever.
So let’s examine this a little bit. Play along with me, you will enjoy it.

Read MoreDear Senator Hughes,
I see that you are a co-author of SB6. However, I am writing to express my strong opposition to this type of legislation.
On the practical side: It is a waste of time and money. It is unnecessary. It will not solve any “safety” problems that it is purported to be the solution to. It is unenforceable. Its backlash, as demonstrated in other states, will cause significant harm to the Texas economy.
Those are just the practical elements. But they pale beside the principles involved.
This type of legislation is a gross invasion of individual privacy. It …
