Tranquility
March 27, 2019
There’s a time for Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, and rock to the max music. But…if you want a dose of tranquility, it’s tough to beat Bill Douglas and The Ars Nova Singers. ‘My love is like a red, red rose that gently blooms in June My love is like the melody that sweetly plays in […]

I enjoy the trip to The South Platte River near Chatfield Reservoir. There’s no guarantee that you’ll catch…or even see any trout, but the odds are good that you and a deer will get up close and personal.

“Every night the owl with his wild monkey-face calls through the black branches, and the mice freeze and the rabbits shiver in the snowy fields— and then there is the long, deep trough of silence when he stops singing, and steps into the air.” Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems, Volume One Photo by Dave […]

‘Honey…would you do me a favor? Could you kindly go check on that abandoned building in the south pasture? One of the boys said he heard a strange clicking sound out there this morning.’ Jeb returned two hours later with quite the story. Underneath the building were dozens of rattlesnakes. ‘Dear…was there any reason you […]
Just a thought

$300 million dollar sports contracts are becoming the new normal. Maybe we should apportion 20 per cent of every athlete’s salary over $25 million and gift it to a fund for first responder’s families who’ve lost a loved one. Or 30% if a hitter in baseball can’t break .275 or an NBA player averages a […]
Pesky critters

Shucks…we missed it again. National Squirrel Appreciation Day was January 21st. It seems a great day was had with costume parties, squirrel stew cook offs, and dancing till dawn. We celebrate these critters too…on April 13 every year, we recall how they invaded our attic and created havoc before we shipped them off to the […]
