  • "Our Father Knows Best" A Heathly View of Death
    Apr 29 2024

    My Dad, Clayton Iles, was a remarkable man.

    He spent his entire blue-collar career as a surveyor for the Highway Department, but he spent his entire life loving other people.

    Daddy was the most fascinating person I’ve known. Today’s story is taken from my third short story collection, Wind in the Pines. I believe you’ll be moved by Daddy’s treatise on a healthy view on death.

    Happy April Fool’s Day

    I love April Fool’s Day. I’m an unreformed prankster. I’ve pulled some fine pranks on April 1, and just as importantly, I’ve had a multitude of pranks on me. Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

    This is my favorite April Fool’s story.

    Most of you know how the Dry Creek Old House is a special part of my life.

    I decided to change that one cold night.
