A bright forever
October 8, 2026
A young man not yet thirty was in the process of putting the pieces of a puzzling life back together. It had appeared to teammates that the pieces might never fit neatly in place…that his obsession with partying and substance abuse was a downward spiral like a toilet with a handle stuck in the flush […]
Love Forever
October 3, 2026
High up on our favourite hill Pockets full of dreams fulfilled Try to make the day stand still it makes me wonder If I tell you half enough How I’m thankful for your love Whatever lies in store for us please just remember That if you go before me I could plant a million […]
Genius
June 20, 2023
It was unlike any dream in my first seventy three years of life. The only word that comes close to describe it is ‘luminous’. There were reassuring voices of people in the past…ones no longer here but still somehow remaining in touch. It was clear that they live now in a remarkable place. Delete that…an […]
Friends
October 11, 2026
Life is a balancing act. It’s obvious when one is on balance and just as apparent when a friend is out of kilter. Be the one who makes the call…takes the walk…or has the talk to help restore equilibrium. Trust your intuition…you can be a difference maker. Tap arrow to view.
Second Fiddle
October 11, 2026
My wife is a member in good standing of a group of friends called The Ta Ta’s. They have met for movies and dinners for over twenty-five years. The group also has spent weekends in Vail, Carmel, Cabo, and Scottsdale. Husbands are excluded from these expeditions similar to wives being uninvited to male poker games. […]
Homeward Bound
October 11, 2026
It seems some people are living on a different plane….eyes focused not on the little things or consumed by the daily irritations that throw others into a tizzy. We look at them saying to ourselves….’Get me some of that, please.’ Phil is one of them…the energy of a six year old at recess and the […]
In a perfect world
October 11, 2026
The world is a tumultuous place. Surely, the globe as seen by astronauts looks tranquil with little drama but we know better. Wise are the ones who avoid the daily news in print or on television. Here’s a song that reminds us what’s important and why we are here.
Filthy

We don’t watch much baseball these days except for the Savannah Bananas. The playoffs are another story. The White Sox are playing an elimination game against the team that used to be called The Cleveland Indians. There have been four pitchers tonight and it appears they all are six foot five to six foot seven. […]
The Tennis Exclamation Point
October 10, 2026
Dave was in a lesson this week and is developing a nice one handed backhand. After complimenting him on his swing that we reviewed on video, I mentioned that his shot carried with it a question mark. “What do you mean?” If you learn to exhale on contact, your nice swing will be accentuated with […]
Long way home
October 10, 2026
Zach and Ben are spirit brothers from different mothers. Both have been through the ringer and feel a deep bond to others facing similar challenges. The duo have created a song to act as a spiritual booster shot for those walking a path they walked years ago. I hope you like it. Tap arrow to […]
Greatness

A very young cowboy has watched a lot of basketball over the last sixty years. So many incredible players from Chamberlain, Russell, Cousy, West, Baylor, Maravich, Jabbar, Archibald, Erving, Jokic, Curry, and Doncic. What’s missing from this list? These, obviously, are all guys. Well, guess what? I’d put this highlight film of Caitlin Clark of […]

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Audrey Hepburn
Dreams
October 10, 2026
We’ve known since childhood that a balloon is an inanimate object. To bring it to life, one must take it in their hands and fill it with life giving air. So it is with dreams. We are called to take an inanimate object and animate it with clear intention, focused effort, and unstoppable belief. Without […]
Distraction
October 10, 2026
A very young cowboy picked up an interesting book yesterday at Koelbel library. The author is Tiffany Schlaen and the book is entitled 24/6…The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week. In the book, she cites the attachment we have to our devices and suggests this addiction can be harmful as much as helpful. It […]
Oooops
October 10, 2026
An aging angler somewhat like myself was sixty yards downstream from me yesterday at scenic Tarryall Creek. He was standing idly on the bank as the stream rushed by. An instant later, he took a step forward, lost his balance, and did a massive un Greg Louganis like belly flop into the water. I could […]
Freeze frame

Al Stewart recorded a song decades ago entitled Time Passages. This picture hammers home how fast time really goes. So does the text a young cowboy received from his old high school buddy Rusty. He wrote that he’s reached the eighty per cent stage of his life. Knowing him, he’ll cram enough in the final […]
One close call
October 10, 2026
On a cold morning in November of 1990, three friends met at 4:30 a.m. at Al Sigman’s house. The coal black Labrador retriever knew what was in store and was as excited as a kid about to ride his first roller coaster. The green Jeep was all packed and the three friends headed south toward Franktown. […]
