    A collection of hard fought thoughts and words composed through 30 some years of searching for stories in dive bars and empty bottles, across plains, hills, bayous and mountains of the midsouth - through lonerdom, loss and love. I have lived my life on my terms reaping the rewards and accepting the consequences. Documenting bits and pieces along the way mostly for my own enjoyment, but now I share some here with you. Your feedback is welcomed but not necessary. Thank you for reading.

    Thanksgiving of 1933 is a story about a desperate family that lives on a farm during the peak years of the great depression. Thanksgiving is only two days away, and they have to hunt for their food. Caused by the overhunting of wildlife, they have to come up with an alternative for Thanksgiving dinner, or they won't have anything to eat. It's about struggle and hope at the end of the tunnel through community and faith. This story has religious themes to help emphasize the time in history. One scene contains potentially disturbing visuals of hunting.
