A group of us young at heart folks got together tonight to listen to one of our favorite groups. Ok…these fellas are minimally 12 years younger than we are and they play sweet oldies. They are aptly named The Hip Replacements. The concert was on the patio at The South Suburban Golf Course and quite […]

Barb and Joe were honored with a standing ovation after Mass today. They are celebrating their 70th. wedding anniversary. It made an aging cowboy think that maybe one day Sally and I might reach that milestone. If so, I’ve been assured there’s a slightly different celebration as Sally is venerated as a saint.

We decided to get creative today in an advanced beginner tennis class featuring Diego, Carlos, and Revanth. On the next court, two 10 and under girls were playing a tournament match and they were very good players. Parents and relatives were viewing the match from the viewing area above and were clapping and giving verbal […]

I wonder if the seventy something fella ever sits in his easy chair at night with a wry, well earned smile. Do the memories of middle of the night alarm clocks and weekends on call all seem worth it now? Most men at this stage of the journey reflect on children raised and grandkids cherished […]

An older fella was trimming overgrown branches from a few Russian olive trees yesterday. While depositing them in trash bags, he was pricked by a number of feisty thorns. This comes after he just completed reading A Doctor at Calvary by Pierre Barbet. The highly impactful book was written long ago by an expert who […]

We had visited Sally’s parents every spring for years in Del Ray Beach, Florida. I asked her this week if she’d ever be interested in exploring a move to that area. Her response was immediate and abrupt…’not on your life’! She said that I should start reading the news…that a large alligator entered a home […]

I felt compelled to take this photo yesterday…for those who relish these special relationships and for the others who wish they had one like this.

Following a pretty alarming sleep study report in May, a very young cowboy now uses a CPAP machine and daily music meditation in search of a better balance. I won’t elaborate on the negative health issues associated with sleep apnea but will use an example that came to me this morning. The fortunate ones who […]

Sally suggested we take a road trip today to tour The Olympic and Paralympic museum in Colorado Springs. It was quite an experience with terrific memorabilia from The Miracle on Ice to Mary Lou Retton and Simone Biles, to Wilma Rudolf and Jesse Owens and his four gold medals in Munich in 1936. The highlight […]

I read a book recently about NDE’s (near death experiences) It was interesting that in every reported case, those who’ve been interviewed following the event stated that there are zero television sets in the next life. Obviously, that means no commercials and for that we can all be thankful.

A youngster was all smiles while being interviewed following his visit to the newly reopened Casa Bonita restaurant. He was asked how great the experience was and replied…’this has to be the second best day of my life’! It made me think about the second best day of my life…no problem, the day I was […]

I learned a new term today…’canine comfort’. In the hospital or at home, dogs are like a soothing salve that helps cure many of the things that ail us humans.
