Brunch choices abound

The restaurant business is exceedingly competitive. One restaurant in southeast Denver (Urban Egg) evidently doesn’t believe the above statement. Sally ordered iced coffee today and uttered that famous McEnroe line…‘ you cannot be serious!’, when the bill arrived. The waitress tried to justify this lack of competitive consciousness indicating that $6.99 for a cup of […]
Genius

It was unlike any dream in my first seventy three years of life. The only word that comes close to describe it is ‘luminous’. There were reassuring voices of people in the past…ones no longer here but still somehow remaining in touch. It was clear that they live now in a remarkable place. Delete that…an […]
Easy going

Maybe I’ve been living a sheltered life but I always thought taking the dog for a walk involved some exercise…for the dog. Today, I initially thought a fella was taking a toddler for a walk until closer inspection revealed a dog. Oh well…one lucky pooch I guess.

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the […]
Hope
June 10, 2023
I awakened early this morning thinking of a young man and his family…they are living through times that try one’s soul for sure. This is a fella who clings to hope with the faith that better days will define his future and life. Intuition speaks to me saying that great things will come from the […]
A new goat in town

I read today that Nikola Jokic said he could not do 1 push-up in high school. We are watching arguably the best passing big man in the history of basketball. So great is this player that one day when he retires, they’ll rename a ‘triple double’ a ‘JOKIC’. Kudos to the person who delivered this […]
Great idea

You gotta like the creativity of PGA professionals. After getting slapped in the face by Jay Monahan, they have scheduled their own event to be played in the fall in Washington D.C.. The Benedict Arnold Memorial tournament will honor these professional’s allegiance to the honor and integrity that has been the bedrock of their tour…while taking a […]
Hypocrite Monahan

This is Rose Zhang who was the number 1 amateur golfer in the world before turning professional. Those fans who’ve seen her interviews immediately realize she is a class act…oh, and she won the first professional golf tournament she entered last week. I’ll be rooting for Rose and look forward to watching her dazzling play […]
Aaaahhhh

Most of us, from that all important sixteenth birthday, have internalized the fallacious thought that…to get anywhere in life, one must constantly have their foot on the accelerator. This pedal to the metal mentality surely drives folks to go after worthwhile goals and is critical for success. A rich and rewarding life rarely just falls […]

Oh, that pesky appetite with eyes that light up at the mention of mud pie and bratwurst on The Fourth of July Oh, that devious voice that resides in our head whispering that the greasy fries are fine and that a pint of ice cream’s ok an hour before bed Oh, that tricky saboteur that […]
Perspective

In all of his running to and fro did he ever once sit quietly and count the cost… did the constant motion chasing ambitious goals ever leave time to consider all that he’d lost? In all of his nonstop hecticity did it ever once cross his mind that moments shared with two year olds are […]
What home court advantage
May 31, 2023
Well, it’s The Denver Nuggets vs. The Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. After suffering a last 1/2 second heartbreak loss this past weekend, The Heat bounced back in game 7 to thrash The Boston Celtics on their famous parquet home court to win The East. It was apparent to all that The Celtics came […]
Surprise
May 31, 2023
It began like most Tuesdays with a vision of eagles soaring overhead and husky brown trout attacking my Baker Hole Bugger streamer. An unexpected detour occurred near noon and soon after I was undergoing several tests at Littleton Hospital. A simple comment by Sally regarding her trip to Africa was greeted by an odd look […]
Oooops

An aging angler somewhat like myself was sixty yards downstream from me yesterday at scenic Tarryall Creek. He was standing idly on the bank as the stream rushed by. An instant later, he took a step forward, lost his balance, and did a massive un Greg Louganis like belly flop into the water. I could […]
SIMON!

A not so young cowboy took a second sleep study test on Monday night. The initial test a couple of months ago was startling to say the least. The report stated that I had stopped breathing 88 times in one hour. The technician was very personable and excited to try a new mask system his […]
