THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER

Valentine’s was an especially nice day for my old blog buddy and Web master Scott Chaffin of San Antonio: “The docs say that the chemo has achieved it’s goal and stabilized the tumor, so it’s shrunk “a considerable amount” and isn’t growing any more. There’s been no spread of cancer (or metastasis) to other parts [...]

And both play hell with your taste buds, your throat tissues, and your digestive system. It’s not a pretty subject—modern cancer “therapy”—but Scott at the Fat Guy is being a blog trouper about bringing us all the gory details of his radiation-and-chemotherapy-driven dietary struggle. It’s news you probably will be able to use someday. Like [...]

They won their second pennant last night, bats aflame in a 15-5 beatdown of El Tigres de Detroit, and advance to their second World Series in a row—a first in the American League West since the Oakland As did it in 1988-90, according to Fox Sports. Hope they can win this one, whomever they play, [...]

My San Antonio friend and Texas Scribbler Web master Scott Chaffin has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Self-employed as he is, Scott’s in need of some help for treatment costs. Instapundit’s notice yesterday already is helping. Note tip jar upper right sidebar here. I gave something. You should, too.

Assuming they haven’t already been knocked out of the playoffs, this old logo via TFG is still the best.

Me, I gave up on the Strangers years ago. But not TFG. He’s a devoted fan. UPDATE: Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan won the bidding. I’m happy. So is TFG (Warning: second link Not Safe For Work).

TFG has a nice video clip of Big Don Walser in concert, at his yodeling best. Reminds me when he sang at a friend’s wedding and later when Mrs. Charm and I saw him at little club in South Austin. Then he was so obese that he waddled getting onto the small stage. His almost-equally [...]

I first heard of Scott when Alan Sullivan would occasionally mention his gratitude for Scott’s expert help on this or that tech problem at Alan’s blog Fresh Bilge.  So, when I finally got the nerve to migrate TTS from obtuse Movable Type to relatively-easy WordPress, I knew who to call. Email, actually, via Scott’s blog [...]

Snoopy The Goon says he’s tagged me and I have to tag seven others in this venerable blogospheric game. It’s a new one for me, but I’m honored to try. I’ll try not to make it too, too sentimental. Inject a little humor here and there, if possible. Here goes. And, except for No. 1 [...]
