Sorry I haven't posted much 'round here lately. I've been spending most of my posting time over at my Longhorn Baseball page. So, check it out if you've got any interest.
'Got some very sad news yesterday. A truly special lady, author Barbara Burnett Smith, died over the weekend. She'd driven down to San Antonio to rescue a dog. The dog jumped out of the car at some point and Barbara ran after him. She was struck by a passing vehicle and passed away the following evening. I met Barbara a couple of times and was struck by what a bubbly personality she had. In an odd "small world" kind of thing, her brother is married to one of my cousins. I've never met him. It's been years since I've seen my cousin. But, they're in town now making arrangements and what not so I'll be seeing them both soon. My heart goes out to Barbara's family and friends. Barbara's got a web page you can visit: Purple Sage, Texas. It's about the fictional town of Purple Sage, where Barbara's first series of books were set.
