Here are some of my favorite columns from my many years of publishing Action Magazine.

  • Who's Who Scam

    I just received an e-mail message which opens with this interesting little announcement:

    Sam,

  • Action is online

    Action Magazine can now be viewed in its entirety on the world wide web. We are completely online.

    It took me long enough to get there.

  • Politically correct

    Did you see the banner headline?

    Possible links to extremism probed

  • Ron Houston

    He called me Soul. He gave me strength and saved my ass.

  • Kelton remembered

    I was touched with a sense of both sadness and regret when I read that Elmer Kelton had died at his home in San Angelo.

  • A Chistmas scare

    I know it's a bit late for Christmas stories but I've got one that is just too hairy to keep under wraps.

  • Sheriff Harlon Copeland: R.I.P.

    The June 12 Express-News death notice of former Bexar County Sheriff Harlon Copeland brought back a torrent of bad memories which I have never attempted to shut the door on.

  • Contemporary church racket

    I'm fixing to do something here which might seem uncharacteristic, off-plumb, and maybe a bit outrageous and uncalled for. But I will do it anyway.

  • Petey, the Wonder Dog

    This will be the final report on Petey the wonder dog, my tough little Jack Russell Terrier who guarded our truck and slept under my covers for the better part of 16 years.
