First things first, it’s fun-gee not fun-guy, although the mascot for Oklahoma Fungi certainly looks to be a fun guy. The adorable cartoon mushroom dons a giant smile while pitching up a peace sign.

By Kathleen Long-Barker Heavy sighs fall from your lips, brows knitted in a begging expression as you succumb to that silent scream of rapture.  A kind of scream that can only result from being one with someone as you rock into and over them. Not a simple presence of flesh on flesh.  No, a mutual […]

By James Bridges The access to be a part of discovering new and inventive ways of building sustainable and profitable businesses has been a pleasure in my career.

By Chet Tucker, The Lettuce Bar One has to wonder what our health and medicinal world would be like had we not fallen into a century long campaign to smear so many of Mother Nature’s remedies.

Anytime is the best time to make heirloom tomato toast in my opinion. As a professional chef of over thirty years, I’ve learned that picking products at the peak of their ripeness really depends on where you live, but for heirloom tomatoes it almost always starts early in the summer and ends in the fall. Almost as […]

By Michael Kinney   When I met Zena Myers for the first time, things were not going well for her. In the Blanchard (Ok.) native’s own words, she was having a “bad day.”  On that June afternoon, Myers had just visited her doctor in Oklahoma City, and she had been in pain since she woke up […]

By Charles “Uncle Chuck” Duncan Ask a hundred people to name their hero and you will probably hear answers reflecting one or more athletes, parents, singers, actors and first responders.
