“A Family Conversation” is a storytelling audio series that features weekly discussions between blogging cousins LadyG and Ron Brown on current events and featured blog posts.

“My uncle was as cool as a ’65 Thunderbird!”
-Ron Brown
Yep, that’s precisely how Ron describes my Daddy’s vibe from his younger days as a MP in the United States Air Force.
Folks said he was as cool as a cucumber…
A tall drink of water…
A pretty redbone…
Clearly, LadyG loves a good cliché
LOL!
All that aside, Ron’s cool uncle tells some awesome tales from his post-military days working on the railroad in the late 1960’s through the late 1990’s.
And so…
We invite you to join us in today’s sessions as we talk about Ron’s cool uncle (my Dad) RailroadConductor67’s post, “Santa’s Helper.”
As usual, Ron and I often found ourselves sidetracked!
Our conversation quickly galloped from Lysol to Clorox to wild game to storytelling where it crashed, head on, into Rickie Lee Jones.
But it gets better considering the fact that Rickie Lee wasn’t supposed to be a part of the dialogue.
AT.
ALL!
(Warning, a shift from first to third person is coming up so that I may distance myself from “LadyG”)
Yeah, so, you see, it all started when LadyG went on this tangent about Tommy Lee Jones, whom she thought was named Rickie Lee Jones.
Just so you know, Rickie, the female singer, should NEVER be confused with Tommy, the male actor.
They aren’t even kinda the same.
But of course, LadyG cannot be bothered with “facts.”
And, if you stick around to listen to the part 2 audio in this post, you will hear this for yourself.
Anyway…
