Growing up in San Antonio in the early ’80s, one of my fondest memories was Saturday night. That was when they showed “Nightmare Theater” on the local CBS affiliate KENS-TV. It was a cheaply produced affair that showed two horror movies starting at 10:30 pm hosted by The Grim Reaper, a sort of cornball jokester…

If you own a TV…or know someone who does…chances are you might’ve seen those completely annoying ads for HeadOn…And you might know what to do with HeadOn…if you were paying attention…File under marketing genius.

The problem with the old site — although it looked great — it was very difficult to update. I had to download the index file, edit…

This Saturday I ate dinner at Luby’s. I don’t think I’ve eaten at Luby’s since college. It was actually pretty good. I got the typical — filet of fried fish, mac and cheese, salad, turnip greens and even shared a slice of “cheese cake” with Tiffany. I couldn’t help but think about the George Hennard…
