• Could be

  While reading Annie Dillard, I wondered if she and Fred Buechner ever hung out. What a mystical/concrete pair. Some Googling might come up with the facts. But, it seems more respectful to both of them to let the possibility hang without a definite answer.

• Where've You Been All My Life

  What explains my not having read Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek SOMETIME in the 50 years since it was published?! Nevermind. I’m fixing that now, and am blown away.

• The Good of Counting

  BOSWELL. Sir Alexander Dick tells me, that he remembers having a thousand people in a year to dine at his house ...

  JOHNSON. That, Sir, is about three a day.

  BOSWELL. How your statement lessens the idea.

  JOHNSON. That, Sir, is the good of counting. It brings every thing to a certainty, which before floated in the mind indefinitely.

  I'm not a golfer, nor am I particularly a golf fan, but I grew up with Verne on the local Dallas ABC station. What a pro!

• Willie's the One

  To no one's surprise, Willie Nelson wins Texas Monthly's "Celebrity Texans" bracket. And, in previous rounds, with very few exceptions, the Texan who should have advanced, did. A Final 4 of Willie, Nolan Ryan, Kelly Clarkson, and Matthew McConaughey is just about right.

  Jesus, my brother,  
  Jesus, my maker,  
  Today, you paid my bills.   
  What can I do, but fall on my face,  
  And thank you for your grace?  
  Jesus, my Lord.
