Steve Lucas is a poet who wrote a poem titled Cow Dreams. In it, the poet contemplates whether or not cows dream and what they may be dreaming about. And then, of course, compares the cow dreams to cowboy dreams. Amazingly, cows and cowboys may dream of the same things.

Steve Lucas is a Star Wars expert. He knows every character to appear in every movie including the animated feature Star Wars Ewoks: Haunted Village. He has traced his family tree back five generations hoping to prove that he is related to the Star Wars creator George Lucas. But his efforts have been to no avail. Deep down he truly beleives that he has a high midi-chlorian count and that someday he will be contacted to join the Jedi. But as every year passes he realizes that his training would be more and more difficult.

Steve Lucas is an artist specializing in traditional southwestern pottery. As the great-great-grandson of Nampeyo, he uses many of the same forms and design elements that she had revived from ancient sityaki pottery. He uses a deep and intense palette and his painting is sharp and precise.


Actually not all of that is true. There is a bass player named Steve Lucas. There was not a pitcher named Steve Lucas. However, Red Lucas matches the description above. Believe it or not there is a farmer/cowboy poet named Steve Lucas. There is no Star Wars expert named Steve Lucas that I know of. And finally there is a southwestern artist named Steve Lucas and that picture is one of his works. So why in the hell am I writing all of this?

I do not personally know anyone named Steve Lucas and neither does Chick (at least, that's what she tells me.) But after a recent showing of our house, the real estate agent left his business card with "I know Steve Lucas" written on the back.

Good for him.
