Our neighbors eschewed the idea of sending their new puppies to training school. ‘We got this…it just takes a bit of ingenuity.’

Resilience

It’s not the falling down that defines you…it is the rising and moving forward.

One amazing player

August 12, 2018

He was brash…belligerent…and once was the number 1 ranked tennis player in the world for 160 consecutive weeks. Jimmy Connors won ten major titles during his career and made an incredible run to the U.S. Open semifinals at the age of 39. That run was the story of the tournament and showed the grit and […]

Laughter

Enough already

August 10, 2018

Someone please help me understand The Colorado Rockies front office. They are shelling out $106 million dollars over the next three years for three relief pitchers who will go unnamed. If you’ve watched any games this summer, you must empathize with the everyday starters who play amazing defense and the starting pitchers who look on […]

Sorry, honey

Are there foolproof indicators that a marriage is on shaky ground…about to go up in flames. Well yes, there certainly are telltale signs. Take, for example, a couple in Wheat Ridge. After a late night argument, the husband decided to go sleep in his car. He was rudely awakened from his slumber by a rather […]

Forever

In listening to this song, I’m reminded that our brother Craig…even though he lived just a few short years with us, has resided in a heavenly home that is far beyond our limited comprehension.  

Levity

A very young cowboy needed a laugh this morning. Maybe you do too.        

Forever young

August 5, 2018

Our fiftieth high school reunion last weekend was a blast. The afternoon at the beach was certainly a highlight. Sure, we’ve aged a bit but many have retained the exuberance of youth.  

Too funny…too true

Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life. Mark Twain

Common sense

August 5, 2018

There is a crusade beginning and it’s reaching every corner of the globe. Organizers are enlisting support to encourage a cessation of mindless tweets that demean the stature of our nation’s highest office. If interested, please plan to say a prayer every Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. that restraint will prevail and that common sense […]

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers. Charles William Eliot

Appreciation

There’s no guarantee of success in fly fishing. It is a lot like gambling. Even if the trout are being fussy and not cooperating, at least some spectators appreciate our efforts.   ** photo by Dave Irey

Beautiful

It’s no wonder why players love to play Arrowhead Golf Course in southwest Denver. You are pretty much guaranteed to see deer and other wildlife and the scenery is magnificent.

Big bad brute

August 5, 2018

We were in Breckenridge last week and ran into a huge, must have been 1,200 lb. bull moose. It was feeding leisurely on birch trees in a startled resident’s backyard. No, this is not a foolish young cowboy taking a photo but one fella did venture twenty five yards from the brute to snap it’s […]

Wonderful

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf. Albert Schweitzer
