Cool and calm

September 25, 2023

In reading a new nook about Abraham Lincoln, a very young cowboy discovered a new word I’d never heard before. Sangfroid is one’s ability to stay cool and calm as pressures mount around you. I was hoping the author would segue to a similar word that could help with developing my sangfroid as Season’s 52 […]

Wonderland

Sally and Peggy were thrilled with their hot air balloon flight in Africa. They report that each day is better than the last and that it is truly the trip of a lifetime. You go, ladies!

Sunglasses are Way Cool

September 16, 2023

The CU vs. CSU football game is about to start and ya gotta wonder why the CSU coach would “make it personal” by disrespecting Coach Prime. Here’s hoping CU romps 45-3 to put the Rams in their place. The consensus from nearly everyone I’ve spoken with is that Coach Prime might be the coolest character […]

Good morning, Barry, I finished reading your story last night and kudos to you. You are a terrific writer loaded with spirit. Yesterday, as I read about Jonathan Cantor and you, another coach walked into our pro’s office and we spoke about your book. She, having lost both sons to the drug world and my […]

A bright forever

September 13, 2023

A young man not yet thirty was in the process of putting the pieces of a puzzling life back together. It had appeared to teammates that the pieces might never fit neatly in place…that his obsession with partying and substance abuse was a downward spiral like a toilet with a handle stuck in the flush […]

Perspective

September 11, 2023

On this anniversary of 9/11, we remember the victims, their families and friends, and the gallant and selfless efforts of so many first responders. It makes me think of a term heard from golf telecasts from across the pond. When a golfer has a challenging shot from behind the trees, the announcer often says she […]
