‘My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.’

Case closed

February 13, 2016

This is it. Final and convincing proof that hide and seek started in the animal kingdom.

Elvis?

February 13, 2016

When I asked lefty topspin master John Marsh if he’d pose for a picture, he said ‘sure.’ He calls this his Elvis impression but it’s a bit more like ‘the agony of defeat’ if you ask me.

The choice point

February 10, 2016

Each day there is a choice point that presents itself….laugh or lament. Perspective is an elective.

Proof positive

February 7, 2016

Many didn’t believe me last week when I reported that the game of hide and seek originated in the animal kingdom. Here’s for the nonbelievers.

Guess again

February 6, 2016

“Not on your life you silly goat. Don’t even think about it!”

Yuck

Some people have the strangest things on their bucket list. Rumor has it that Becky crossed this off in a hurry and had nightmares for a week.

Breaking news

National Geographic now has incontrovertible proof that the game of hide and seek originated in the animal kingdom. You can argue if you’d like but this picture is pretty convincing.

Life is good

January 27, 2016

“You know James….we have it pretty good here. Three meals a day, cartoons every morning, and Baby Bear bibs…life is good!”

Dapper Dave

January 24, 2016

Dave has a belt collection that would astound anyone. His many travels around the globe has resulted in the building of a special closet in his home specifically for belts. Dave’s friends have never seen him wear the same one twice. Most of them have his name etched into the back and his Indian leather […]

The twelfth man

January 19, 2016

Ok….so The Broncos had a few untimely dropped passes and were trailing 13-12 late in the game. Clutch field goals and a pivotal turnover by the defense saved the day. All over Colorado, delirious fans began celebrating and getting ready for New England. No one should underestimate the number of loyal followers who support this […]

A preview

January 19, 2016

A Denver area reporter has located a very telling photograph. This three year old was prone to pouting and tantrums which have carried over to his adult years. Some might guess this is a noted actor or musician but they would be wrong. This person will turn forty in 2018 and will most likely retire […]

Twins

January 18, 2016

“You two are so lucky. I’d give anything to have a twin. Why…..I’d share everything with her….my toys, Cheerios, clothes….everything.”

Not in my house

January 18, 2016

“I’m just saying….if you think everything is all hunky dory with you bringing this new puppy into my house…you better think twice. If he gets within two feet of me it’s over. You will see fur flying and it won’t be mine.”

Owl for hire

January 17, 2016

Sunday morning….6:38 a.m., and the two Alaskan Malamutes who live behind us are howling again. I’ve tried a number of things including a call to Animal Control and placing a For Sale sign on their front lawn. Given that this has been a regular disturbance for over ten years, a very young cowboy thought it […]

Taylor

“Mom….you should know the signs by now. When my face turns red like this, don’t just hold your nose….hurry up and get those baby wipes!”

Silly

January 7, 2016

“Enough mom. Isn’t it about time you moved beyond this stage? You know…the one where you, like many of your friends, get this strange kick out of dressing us in silly hats. I mean really….who makes these and can we just collect them and make a quick trip to Goodwill?”

Flabbergasted

December 30, 2015

Graham was thrilled to finally become a grandfather. He flew to Denver from his home in San Diego to spend Christmas with three month old Cole and his proud parents. The day after Christmas while holding the baby, Graham was flabbergasted when the child began singing The National Anthem. ‘Oh,say can you see,by the dawn’s […]

Oh Honey!

December 26, 2015

“Sure honey….I’ll get the paper for you even though it’s 19 degrees out. But can you explain why I need to wear your skirt, those silly Broncos shoes, and black socks?”

“Sorry Hazel…..Christmas is just one day each year but it’s fine if you want to wear your hat and keep that spirit alive each day.”
