We live in a small cul de sac with five families. In 1984, on a questionable tip from a friend, we purchased a chest of drawers from a mega furniture retailer here in Denver. Well, forty years later, it was time to part ways with this invaluable family treasure. In my eighth decade of life, […]

When my wife traveled to Africa in September, the trip leader cautioned everyone to keep a safe distance from all of the wildlife and showed a video of why. Now, I don’t know about you, but after seeing this, his warning is not anything one should take lightly. Just click on arrow and scroll to […]

Most everyone has heard of the tremendous success of The Air Jordan basketball shoe. Surely, Michael could soar like a bird. At the gym where I frequent, I’ve noticed far less than Michael’s leap and hang on the rim to show off…even seen a couple of guys hang for seconds on an already badly bent […]

I’ve never given much thought to the idea of reincarnation. That is, until the last two weeks. There’s a fella at the gym who is making me consider the possibility. He does a set of leg curls…stands up, shakes his body, and is immediately transformed into a combination of a dancing Michael Jackson and martial […]

To say that tennis, like all other sports, has changed drastically via better training methods and nutrition is a no brainer. This morning, Ben Shelton hit a second serve ace at over 130 mph that left his opponent dumbfounded. Oldsters like me remember the stars of the past like Rosewall, McEnroe, and Evonne Goolagong. They […]

The woman looked bewildered as it was apparent that she’d forgotten where she had parked her car. I mentioned to her that elders in Florida put a tennis ball or bright ribbon on their antenna and she reminded me that cars don’t have antennae and haven’t for years. As I was leaving the lot, I […]

Who hasn’t, at one time or another, felt as if their backs against the wall…that they are stuck in rut with seemingly nowhere to turn? Paulo Coelho writes…”Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything…maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in […]

A player in my tennis drill this week had a very distinctive forehand volley….the kind of shot that keeps tennis pros in business. The racquet took on a new persona that caught everyone’s attention…especially mine. Thankfully, the player took my comment with a sense of humor knowing that eventually a fix was in order. ”Miriam, […]

Here’s a New Year’s wish for a former US OPEN singles champion. I close my eyes and see one of the best smiles on planet Earth after she claimed her OPEN title over good friend Madison Keys. May that smile return once again in Melbourne because watching Sloane Stephens play in Brisbane was a tough […]
