Fall

November 20, 2017

Skiers are chomping at the bit as the high country begins getting some sizable snowfall. Our neighbors must have left nearly fifty trash bags of leaves at the curb in the past three weeks. Yes, these leaves can be a hassle unless you’re just out for a stroll on a magnificent autumn afternoon.

No easy road

Heaven knows the Syrian refugee problem is immense. You don’t have to tell this mother and her children.

Sweet swing

Holy Schmole…now this is a golf swing! Tommy Morrissey sure has a knack for the game.

Surprise

November 20, 2017

There was a box on our front porch this morning. At first we were hesitant to open it. My wife heard some scratching and thought it might have been a small puppy. It turns out that that owner could no longer care for this kitty and hoped we could find a home for it. Clancy […]

What’s Lavar Smoking?

November 20, 2017

C’mon Lavar. Let’s get real. Everyone will soon forget that one of your sons was arrested in China for shoplifting. He’ll learn from this and move on. What’s more concerning is how you are making the family the baller version of The Kardashians. Please retract this statement as soon as possible. “He’s going to be […]

No worries

November 20, 2017

It’s all good. Even though most Denver Broncos fans realize that the guys in orange and blue are not worth watching this season, it’s not the end of the world. At least we have these incredible orange sunsets that soften the blow of such lackluster play.

Sunny disposition

November 19, 2017

I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I’m so blessed, it’s almost scary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh. Daniel Gilbert

Giddy up

Cowgirl is a spirit, a special brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up. They defend the things they hold dear. A cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider, or an actress. But […]

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 […]

Outreach

November 17, 2017

Kudos to my wife. With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s very commendable that she would agree to have my first wife attend our ‘turkey day’ celebration. Marge really had no other options this year. A chain smoker since her teens, she has agreed to light up only on the back patio.

Courage

November 12, 2017

All around the country there were memorable tributes to our veterans this weekend in honor of Veteran’s Day. For a look at the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women, I highly recommend George W. Bush’s recent book Portraits of Courage. The former president is quite an artist with the highest regard for our veterans.
