Must see TV?
May 2, 2020
This Coronavirus has caused people to settle for a lot of TV viewing they may not have previously considered. Like…on ESPN right now is The Jumping Frog Jubilee. Rumor has it the contest has been held for ninety seven years. Some of the veteran jockeys are adults who have competed for over fifty years. In […]
Oral hygiene
December 9, 2019
A story is told of a man who visited the dentist after a long absence from having dental work. At one point, he asked the dentist about the value of flossing. ’How many of my teeth should I be flossing?’ The dentist replied…’only the ones you’d like to keep.’
Honey don’t

I have received some flak about my hair after Sally posted a picture this week of cowboy after a fishing trip. It was pretty lame to be sure. I wonder if golfers’ wives post pictures of their husbands after a long day on the links? Let’s hope not.
Poor chicken

Most of the dogs we care for usually bring a few play toys with them. That’s not to say that all of these toys make the return trip home.

Ok…what do Joe Dimaggio and #5 have to do with me and the daily use of 24 Hour Fitness? Here’s the back story. On my three previous visits to the club, I’d returned to my locker to gather my winter coat and favorite blue sweater. The only problem…I could not, for the life of me, […]
Who knew?

The Sunday Denver Post is chock full of articles about sports, politics, and special events. Often missed are the smaller tidbit like pieces that often are quite startling. Like today, there was a very brief notice that scientists have now concluded that the idea for the ‘bed and breakfast’ originated in the animal kingdom. Pretty […]
Levity
October 21, 2018
Somewhere around my tenth of thirteen surgeries, it dawned on a young cowboy that nurses in the surgery prep room are kind and efficient but often missing in the humor department. I vowed to change that and liven up the atmosphere a bit. It worked like a charm. I mean who in their right mind […]
Child’s play

A very young cowboy has seen some pretty unique customers at your local Wal Mart. After awhile, one kind of gets into the spirit…I guess you could say it’s contagious.
Oops!

John Elway was the orchestrator of some of the most memorable comebacks in football history. ‘The Drive’ to beat The Cleveland Browns will still be remembered fifty years from now by loyal, Broncos fans. And lamented forever by Browns followers. This classic play might still give Elway nightmares though.
Senior moments
August 15, 2018
It must be Divine intervention. Yesterday, for the second time in recent memory. a senior moment occurred. A beleaguered cowboy searched everywhere for his keys before settling for the single spare key that is for emergencies. Leaving the courts after tennis practice three hours later, I gave thanks for the help from above. I believe…two […]

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

Politicians are like diapers: they should be changed often, and for the same reason. Attributed to Mark Twain but not verifiable
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
A bit of fun
July 26, 2018
A number of years ago, Tim Tebow was a quarterback for The Denver Broncos. Today, he’s pursuing a career in baseball and excelling in that sport too. Tebow, a very committed Christian, used to take a knee and put his hand to his forehead presumably to give thanks to The One above. He drew quite […]
