Movie critics and I rarely "geehaw."
A great current example is The Odd Life of Timothy
Green, a “feel good” picture that most critics have given
"C" grades.
It is beautifully photographed with marvelous music,
and nary a bad word. So what if it is a little magical? Or
even “cheesy,” teens may say.
But, I loved War Horse, too....

Jan would have none of it. The motivational parts of
her hubby’s speeches didn't resonate with her. She’d
take the family car home, and Jim Bob could wrestle the
van back to San Angelo whenever he chose.
Jim Bob gulped, remembering that earlier in the week
she was wearing earpieces, choosing iPod music over
his orations. She also confessed to ordering grandchil-
dren’s Christmas gifts online with her iPad (or

Speaking of haircuts, the nation’s unemployment
woes were validated by JC Penney’s recent August pro-
motion that offered free haircuts. The 900 salons rang
up more than a million free cuts at the half-way point of
the give-away.
That brings to mind the story of a young man who
was getting a haircut when the boss walked in. -rm sin

Long-time surgeon Seale Cutbirth put away his
scalpel years ago.
Julie Box, however, continues to remove growths daily.
At her hair salon, that is.
She's a bit gun-shy when Dr. Cutbirth's haircut comes
due. And with good reason. A while back, she said she
saw something fly through the air as she trimmed
around his ear. “Julie, you cut my antenna,” the doctor
said. (She had snipped a tiny wire attached to his hear-
ing aid.) He’s dependent on hearing aids to hear part of
what's going on in the world.
Cutting hair, Julie believes, can be like a box of
chocolates....

iSomething) while he was speaking. Sometimes, she
multitasked, both “ordering and iPod-ing" during his
presentations.
Maybe he should have suggested initially that she
take the family car. He said the van drove like, well, a
van, and got all of 10 mpg. “I could see the fuel needle
going downward,” Solsbery said, admitting that gas
cost more than the $200 saved on the drop charge waiv-

On Driving a Hard(ly)
Bargain....
Commentary by Dr. Don Newbury
When one schedules multiple speaking engagements
in a brief time span, travel plans must be executed with
precision. Otherwise, one may weep, gnash teeth,
become ill and question much—including, “Why me,
Lord?”
It is important at such times to remember: No one has
to be anywhere.
There is wisdom in knowing when to run. If one is
running to catch a train, not to worry, there’ll be anoth-
er one. If, however, one is running to get out of the way
of a train, run like the devil....
My friend, Jim Bob Solsbery, goes around commit-
ting speeches on a fulltime basis. He made a dozen or
so in August to help educators kick off the new school
year.
My eyes crossed upon learning that he had six
engagements in four days, a schedule calling for him to
criss-cross Texas both on the ground and in the air.
Handling most of the driving, book sales and other
details was wife Jan. Jim Bob mostly told his stories,
encouraged Jan to “keep on truckin’” and calculated
senior travel discounts. (He's on the front end of geezer
status, keeping his driver’s license handy to prove his
age.) Solsbery is a hawk, finding discounts that tempt
him like low-hanging fruit....
Anyways, Jan was dismissed at mid-week to return to
their San Angelo home, so he reserved a rental car for
her in Tyler. He would keep the family car for driving to
Thursday and Friday engagements, then head home on
Saturday.
It looked good on paper before the “good news/bad
news” rental attempt. They were “earless,” having mis-
placed the reservation, but did have a cargo van avail-
able. They offered it at the same rate and agreed to
waive the $200 drop fee.
Great, thought he! Solsbery could reduce the rental
charge by two days—if Jan didn’t mind driving the
van....
