My nieces and nephews have always been part mine.

So this week's podcast is about one of them.

They probably don't always like it, but I love them soooooo much, I just can't help myself as I cross the line of ownership time and time again. I always figured an extra mother can't hurt, right?

Chad Estes is a local character all his own. He is, indeed, a chip off the old block. He celebrated another birthday this week. I remember the day he was born just like it was yesterday.

Through the years, in typical Estes fashion, he has made lots of friends--both on and off the playing field.

What can I say?

People either love us or not. There's never any middle ground.

But, I can't count the times I've told people he is my nephew and a big smile creeps across their face. There's usually a story or two there somewhere.

He has a "knobs to the right" show on KKBL Radio on Wednesday mornings and can often be seen calling games for the Houn' Dawgs from the press box at Kelley Field.

Here's a couple more stories about Outlaw Junior.

I hope I'm around to celebrate 51 more birthdays with him.
