COLUMN: Epic Universe doesn't disappoint

2 weeks ago | tahlequahdailypress.com | Kim Poindexter

You’ve all seen those commercials about Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. The blurbs feature people gazing with awe at the attractions. Things will never be the same, they opine; there’s nothing like it, they insist. And they weren’t kidding. The new park opened May 22, and on May 27, Chris and I became some of the first folks to check it out it during our short vacation.

COLUMN: A nightmare unfolds at the airport, part 3

Whether the blame rests with an inept current or former president, incompetent federal employees, or lazy airline or airport staff, someone needs a big kick in the teeth. Flying these days is a nightmare for almost everyone I’ve talked to. On our return trip from New Orleans to Tulsa weekend before last, I thought things could hardly get worse than the horrors that unfolded on the flights to NOLA. I was wrong.

When last we metaphorically met, I was explaining the horrors of our recent trip to New Orleans. There was nothing wrong with the city, or the Jazz Festival we attended. There was certainly nothing wrong with the food, including the boudin balls (my favorite) and “leg sandwich” (Chris’ favorite, soft shell crab po’boys). The problem was the air travel.

Anyone who wants to follow my column needs to watch the Stephen King movie “Creepshow” — particularly the segment called “The lonesome death of Jordy Verrill.” In the clip, Jordy — played by Stephen King himself — is turning into a sort of plant monster after getting some “meteor sht” on his fingers. He says, “That’s Verrill luck. Always in. Always bad.”That quip applies to Poindexter luck as well.

The days of the killer toys

My grandparents told us how tough they had it as kids. They walked to their one-room schoolhouses in the snow, barefoot, and uphill – both ways. Apparently they weren’t privy to the hazards faced by kids of my generation, the stories of which we told our own children, in tones just as ominous as those used by our grandparents.
COLUMN: New cats, new games; nothing is safe

2 months ago | mcalesternews.com | Kim Poindexter

When the creature known as “the whitecat” died a few months ago, I knew we would need to replace him. Chris and I had been owned by this cat for 19 years. We knew the day was coming, so we were planning ahead. Betty (Smith) Ridge, a former colleague who retired to Missouri and volunteers for a no-kill cat shelter, had been keeping an eye out for a bonded pair for us to adopt.
