A morsel about reincarnation

January 16, 2024

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 […]

Gratefulness

January 6, 2024

The other night we had a very nice dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant. The next day, whilst driving to play (teaching tennis has never been work) I saw a magpie feasting on an unfortunate squirrel. The sight made me feel very lucky for surely this very young cowboy could have just as easily been […]

Orange madness

October 21, 2023

A very young cowboy was trying to fool trout on Thursday when a once in a fishing lifetime experience occurred. Glancing downstream, there appeared to be a large Sunkist orange feverishly trying to swim towards me. The thing was twenty yards away and was surely scaring the living daylights out of every trout in the […]

Montana Proud

May 30, 2023

On a walk yesterday evening with Lola and Eileen (dogs), Sally and I saw the most ginormous mobile home parked in a nearby driveway. We saw the owner and asked how much room was inside. A delightful lady, she said the unit sleeps four comfortably…with plenty of room for their two pet buffaloes.

Creativity

The Randy Ross Tennis Center held a holiday tennis mixer last Wednesday evening. Players were encouraged to wear their favorite seasonal sweater. Crystal, Ginger, and Marla were resplendent in sweaters that we’ll certainly see soon at The Australian Open in Melbourne. Nice going, Rock Stars!

Some people are, have always been, and will always be, unstoppable. Are you?

Disconnected

September 15, 2022

Humor seems to be in short supply these days. How welcome it was today to learn that a bus load of illegal immigrants was dropped off in front of Kamala Harris’ home. This follows her absurd claim in an interview this weekend that the border is secure. Can you say Malarkey? Equally hilarious is the […]

Common sense

February 8, 2022

Jordan Spieth has been playing some outstanding golf over the last fifteen months and finished  second in a tournament at famed Pebble Beach this weekend. Here’s hoping those who make the rules for golf will add this one after Jordan’s precarious situation on number 8. ’The player is allowed to take a two club length relief […]

Old wives tale

February 4, 2022

For the longest time, I did not believe that old wives tale that dogs possess an uncanny awareness of their master’s driving abilities. Now,  I’m convinced.  

Bravery

February 1, 2022

I really admire those courageous park rangers who sign up to teach The Macarena to grizzly bears.

Not everyone has a soft place in their heart for the jolly fella who wriggles his way down chimney chutes and devours cookies and milk.

Never again

November 28, 2021

I was in the middle of a tennis lesson with 7 year old Oliver. He was hitting some beautiful two handed backhands and displayed some nice touch on his forehand volley. We stopped to pick up balls and I made an error in judgment. I asked Oliver how old he thought I was. He thought […]

Enough is enough

October 11, 2021

A good friend was asked why he sold his golf clubs after playing for fifty years. ‘That’s easy…I decided I’d rather die of natural causes.’

The mad serpent

October 8, 2020

I know, this photo seems innocuous enough so what’s the big deal? Well…there is a story that happened Wednesday that will clear things up. The location is a car wash in Highlands Ranch on South Colorado Blvd.. You might miss the sign but it reads ‘Protected by cameras’. A very young cowboy stopped there to […]

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.’
