What if it’s true that you are caught up in a greater story? What if the day to day ramblings you’re immersed in are all merely minor scenes in the feature film that is your life? Would you still be anxious or upset if you…the actor or actress in this drama, could fast forward and […]

Richard Kerr and Will Jennings wrote a terrific song fifty years ago with lyrics sung masterfully by Dionnne Warwick. A very young cowboy heard the song on the way to work tonight and the lyrics seem especially pertinent this year. “No night so long that you can’t find the day… No day so wrong that […]

How is it that I’ve lived these many years and never heard of Tommy Emmanuel…or explored the genius of Roy Clark? The people I admired most resided in the world of sports…Dr. J, Pistol Pete, Magic Johnson, Jenny Finch, Michael Jordan, and Sandy Koufax. Well, time to add three more…Eva Cassidy, Tommy Emmanuel, and Roy […]

My good friend Hodgie encouraged me to try a little experiment. After relating a story about his family’s pet owl that lived in their house, he suggested identifying my top 5-10 sounds of all time. A very young cowboy loved the idea and decided to share it with friends. Here goes… The sound of kids […]

A very young and tired cowboy was about two Ahhhhmen breaths away from la la land last night when rudely awakened by Sally. She was, and I’m not exaggerating, in a frenzied state of panic screaming ‘THERE’S SOMEONE IN OUR HOUSE.’ I jumped from my bed unfortunately neglecting to grab the Louisville Slugger baseball bat […]

A very young cowboy viewed a somewhat dated fishing video yesterday featuring a well known guide and author Ian Colin James. He and another angler were fishing streamers in very low water in Canada. Mr. James was utilizing a technique I’d never seen before. I decided to try to find him online to forward a […]

It is a pretty safe bet that 99 percent of us will never be elite level tennis players, golfers, or fly fishermen. Given that, maybe it’s wise to embrace each moment trying to improve a bit each day.

With all that’s going on in our world, people everywhere are searching for answers…contemplating how we can turn this ship around. Who can stem the tide that has been pushing us under since March? Who can bring our fractured country back to some semblance of togetherness? Some intuitively know that it’s not this candidate or […]

The loveliness of running water appeals to everyone. I have never met a person who would turn down a picnic by the river. M.R. Montgomery

With flows down to a trickle, Deckers fishing is extremely challenging these days. You pretty much have to be content with being in beautiful surroundings with a chance to see some wildlife. The river has shriveled to where you can see every rock and former holding spot for browns and rainbows. Today, a very young […]

At lunch yesterday to celebrate Jamie’s 31st. birthday, a mini gust of wind blew a packet of salt into her face. This has surely been a challenging year with the pandemic, the Rockies flop of a season, and now being assalted at First Watch restaurant.

What if each day upon waking, you’d lay back in your favorite recliner for five minutes? And what if, before the hecticity of the day began to snap at your heels, you would close your eyes…and acknowledge that there could be turbulence ahead? That there might be bumps in your road that require special skills […]

We didn’t know what to expect when Joey came to stay with us for six days. He’s leaving later this afternoon and he taught us a few things. You see, Joey is 13 years old and cannot see or hear. He’s also diabetic. Watching him try to navigate his way around the house was instructive. […]
