Watch out

August 18, 2018

Tennis pros are a rare breed…light years beyond even very accomplished college players. Just have a look…but don’t get on the court with her if you want to maintain your pride.    

Oh my

August 18, 2018

My wife likes watching professional doubles far more than singles. The reaction volleys and defensive skills are mind boggling at times. If you want a little inspiration before your next game, check out this point.  

The Pistol

August 18, 2018

Pistol Pete Maravich was a basketball savant. So ahead of his time. He averaged 43.5 points per game while playing for LSU…this was before there was a three point line. Experts say he’d have averaged 57 points per game if the 3 was in effect when he played. Pete was famous for his gray floppy […]

Lighten up

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. Mark Twain  

Wonder dog

Some people pass through your life and leave an everlasting impression. Surely, it is true as well with beloved furry friends.    

Priorities

August 18, 2018

In one’s final hours, no longer does the bank account, the fancy car, or the beachfront home matter…it’s the reassuring touch that you were loved that makes the difference.

Persistence

Chill

Life is very silly. And it’s short. So rarely is it worth getting riled up about. Chris Charpentier

Oh Yeah

I don’t look for bliss, just contentment.     Alison Krauss     And yet, bliss is pretty nice when it comes your way too.  

Rock on

August 17, 2018

If you’re up for a feel good start to your day…and you like music, just take a look/listen to this great song.  

The Queen

August 17, 2018

A true legend departed for heaven this week. Aretha Franklin was deemed The Queen of Soul and I always thought Bonnie Raitt’s heartfelt tribute said it best. What a gift to this world she was!   https://youtu.be/scsuEL98KbA

Awakening

It is a wise person who starts each day with a song in their heart.

Magic man

August 15, 2018

We attended The BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells this year. Come to think of it, maybe we’ll go in 2019 hoping Pablo Cuevas might be playing. Fans say he performs a little magic in every match. Click on video for magic shot.  

Oops!

August 15, 2018

John Elway was the orchestrator of some of the most memorable comebacks in football history. ‘The Drive’ to beat The Cleveland Browns will still be remembered fifty years from now by loyal, Broncos fans. And lamented forever by Browns followers. This classic play might still give Elway nightmares though.  

Senior moments

August 15, 2018

It must be Divine intervention. Yesterday, for the second time in recent memory. a senior moment occurred. A beleaguered cowboy searched everywhere for his keys before settling for the single spare key that is for emergencies. Leaving the courts after tennis practice three hours later, I gave thanks for the help from above. I believe…two […]

LIKE

August 15, 2018

My wife and I love watching Sloane Stephens compete on the tennis court. So smooooth, so athletic…and a determined fighter too. Her win at last year’s U.S. Open was epic. As The Tennis Channel commentators say…’she also has a million dollar smile and a great attitude. Now…if she would just watch the replay of her […]

Destined for greatness

August 15, 2018

His name is Carson and he is a winner. Why, just the other day, he told his mother…’Mom, I think I’m going to do something really special in this life. You just watch, it might astound you!’ To you, Carson…it seems like this song was written to you and for you. Go Rock the World…we […]

Challenges

August 15, 2018

One must cultivate the inner strength to stand strong as the winds of adversity come…to bend but never break, to believe that your spirit is larger than the circumstances you face.

Eureka!

August 12, 2018

A cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something. A very young cowboy is guessing that in the last twelve months most people have never uttered the word eureka. It is not because they’ve not had memorable…eureka moments, it’s just that the word has fallen out of favor. So…I’m calling on all […]

Knowledge

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world. Helen Keller
