For twenty years or so, a very young cowboy has referred to this shot as a ‘Glory shot.’ Many coaches call it as a ‘reverse’ forehand.

It wasn’t there on Saturday. Jane took her daily walk near Breckenridge and stopped to enjoy the brilliant sunset.

Mom said she’d never seen someone who has as ‘sunny’ an outlook on life as I do. When I asked her what that meant, she said…’Krista, you just seem to go with the flow. It appears to me that you wake up with a song in your heart and sing it like the bluebird all […]

You can spend thousands of dollars on fishing gear. There’s no guarantee you’ll out fish the rookie who has invested $9.99. The amateur pictured here caught two fish on his first two casts at this trout haven near Silverthorne. Oh Yeah!

Complexity does not always indicate progress. Sometimes a bike ride can mean as much as a shuttle ride. The basics count. One of the best pictures a young cowboy has ever seen was a black and white of our niece’s kids that showed the essence of hope married with innocence. A picture’s worth a thousand […]
