A good friend related an amusing story recently. He was scheduled to have a colonoscopy and had just completed the prep that called for taking 4 Dulcolax pills.

Well, this is the first morsel a very young cowboy has posted that has not had an accompanying picture. I didn’t feel it would be fair to the parties involved. After driving my wife to the hospital this morning for a bit of surgery all seemed to be going perfectly. The procedure was slated for […]

Many years ago, a much younger cowboy had a job in sales. At team meetings in Chicago, I was given the nickname of The Strobe. There was a constant stream of marketing ideas flowing to and from me that I wish would have resulted in more sales. Fast forward 25 years and I now rise […]

On numerous trips to my ‘home water’, I have developed a good luck ritual that some might think is a bit odd. Home water means the river you consistently frequent in hopes of fooling wily rainbow and brown trout which, for me, rarely happens. This habit originated in 2022 when I saw a huge elk […]

In Colorado, investigators seized nearly 940 pounds of fentanyl last year, or about 2.61 million pills, the DEA said. The amount seized across the four-state region in 2023 was more than a 500% increase from amounts confiscated in 2021.

We live in a small cul de sac with five families. In 1984, on a questionable tip from a friend, we purchased a chest of drawers from a mega furniture retailer here in Denver. Well, forty years later, it was time to part ways with this invaluable family treasure. In my eighth decade of life, […]

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus does. (Read again words 1-3) Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved. John Knox As the centuries pass, the evidence is accumulating that, measured by His effect on history, […]

How beautiful the hands that served The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth How beautiful the feet that walked The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross How beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful Is the body of Christ How beautiful the heart that bled That took all my […]

“The long and the short of it is that poor sleep can take a wrecking ball to both your long term health and your ability to function day to day”. Dr. Peter Attia from the terrific book Outlive…The Science and Art of Longevity ***. A cowboy wishes he’d read this book before a sleep […]

The woman looked bewildered as it was apparent that she’d forgotten where she had parked her car. I mentioned to her that elders in Florida put a tennis ball or bright ribbon on their antenna and she reminded me that cars don’t have antennae and haven’t for years. As I was leaving the lot, I […]

Who hasn’t, at one time or another, felt as if their backs against the wall…that they are stuck in rut with seemingly nowhere to turn? Paulo Coelho writes…”Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything…maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in […]

A couple of recent tennis coaching scenarios. A player trying to break into the ranks of 3.0 play has the potential as he’s on court more than five hours a week. Dave has a chance to develop a plus forehand if he can reduce mishits on the bottom edge of his racquet and center the […]
