Slower

July 29, 2017

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple […]

Tennis momentum

The Doctor

July 24, 2017

I think Denver’s old Auditorium Arena held about 6,900 fans. It’s there in the late sixties and seventies that we watched Connie Hawkins and Spencer Haywood dominate like the opponents were high schoolers.

Maggie

July 24, 2017

I was awakened this morning before six with a picture and words streaming one after another. The picture is of Maggie whose presence is…quite simply, stunning. The words keep coming and here’s just a few. She emanates kindness…gentleness…good humor…and class. Maggie is joyful and grateful and the light in her eyes shines like a diamond. […]

Holy Cow

Some people appear to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders each day. Wise are they who know Who can lighten their load.

Hindsight

July 9, 2017

Rumor has it that the terrific manager of The Colorado Rockies (Bud Black) has had second thoughts about dressing down his young pitcher in front of 48,000 fans. Nobody’s perfect and I doubt that we’ll see this again.
