Dreaming Of Walls For The Man Cave
by Kevin Burton I may live to regret this, but I’m going to lump myself in with Les Nessman. The issue is walls. Les Nessman was the clueless radio news reporter played by actor Richard Sanders on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. That was a solid late 70s early 80s sitcom with …

His Timing, His Answers, His Presence
by Kevin Burton So there’s this little card. Three inches by one inch. Had it all these years. There was a small stack of them at the checkout stand of a Christian bookstore in Columbus. I got my music or whatever and I got this little card on the way out. It …
Work Commute Takes On A 70s Groove
by Kevin Burton You don’t often get a break like this one, and I’m riding with it. The ride service that takes me from my rural town back and forth to work in the big city will not be charging its usual fee for the fourth quarter of this year. That’s right, …
God The Potter Has His Perfect Design
by Kevin Burton If life were a play and you could read for one of two parts, would you audition to be the potter or the clay? You have arrived not at a play, but at a second-period Ceramics class at the Earthly School for the Spiritually Blind. Spiritual blindness is a …
