Rix Quinn’s Minute Story Extravaganza: November 17, 2018

Reading I'd like to salute one of America's greatest unsung heroes. His name was Sterl Artley, a famous reading teacher, who died in 1968. He wrote wonderful stories about Dick and Jane. If you're a Baby Boomer, or a Generation Xer, you may remember them. These kids had a dog named Spot, and a cat named Puff. Mr. Artley's simple stories began with basic words, gradually building children's vocabulary and word recognition skills. Unfortunately, it's hard to find Dick and […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Minute Story Extravaganza

Editor Note: Due to situations in the newsroom the past couple Saturdays, we were unable to publish the column. The stories for the past two weeks and this week's installment will be published today. - JL Heroes How many heroes do you know? I've met a few. Some of those were family and friends. And a few were nationally-known. My dad Bill was a long-time newspaper editor, and interviewed several. I rarely saw him get flustered. But he met one guy […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Self improvement

I've heard there are more books on self improvement than any other subject. My friend Lisa claims that’s true…and she should know. She eats right, dresses well, and talks sweeter than a candy salesman at a dental convention. She’s been to more seminars than most caterers. And she’s always looking for another body part to get fixed, tucked, or liposucked. I wish I had that much ambition. But my goal is to live a "balanced life." That means if I […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Night light

The most important light in our house is the smallest one. Like many families, we keep a tiny night light in a dark hallway. That bulb’s kept me safe for years. When our child was little, it illuminated a path to her room, so we wouldn’t stumble if she called us. Later, it kept us from tripping over our large and frequently sleeping dog. Not long ago, before guests came over, I pulled the light out so I could plug […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Dodo bird

Back when I was a kid, people used to joke about the “dodo bird.” Was it real? Yes, this fowl (pronounced “dough-dough”) actually lived. But it’s been extinct since the 1680’s, which makes it officially, sincerely lifeless. It’s no wonder the dodo didn’t survive. Its wings were too small to fly, and its legs too short to run. Predators found the bird easier to catch than a head cold. The little animal lived on islands in the Indian Ocean. It […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: The milk man

Many of us grew up during the 1960s. Some, like me, never grew up. But we've continued to age without expiring. Let's see…where was I? Oh, yes. If you grew up back then, you probably remember a neighborhood visitor called the "milk man." He worked for a local dairy, and came by in a truck two or three mornings a week delivering fresh products. Now, back in those days most milk and cream came in thick glass bottles. You would […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Fine (and fancy) meals

Not long ago, a man I work with asked me how to make a big impression on a first date. For most well-mannered guys, I suggest a fancy restaurant. These generally require a reservation, and few offer a drive-through window. Therefore, the girl will dress nicely. Males should put on a real tie, not that tee shirt with one painted on it. I also suggest that guys follow these basic tips: When you pick up your date, remember your manners. […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Leisure suits

Today, I would like to salute the leisure suit, a huge success of the 1970s. Not long ago, I found one in my closet, hiding somewhere between my tie-died shirts and my bell-bottomed jeans. I still love it, but my wife never lets me wear it to weddings. This incredibly versatile outfit (shirt-like jacket and matching slack) dominated men’s wear. Guys hoped this fashion – which didn’t require a tie – would replace business suits. Some men who chose leisure […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: House flies

As I think about summer in Texas, house flies come to mind. Maybe that's because I've been chasing one around the office all morning. It's hard to guess how many there are worldwide, but we know there are 300,000 species. I personally have interacted with several hundred thousand, many of them gathered around my sandwich. Flies are 65 million years old, which means they've been around longer than my aging great uncle. And he may have something in common with […]
