Drama near El Rancho

November 27, 2017

A very young cowboy has a word for the day…perspective. After driving over 100 miles this morning to reach The Eagle River near Wolcott, there was great anticipation of sizable rainbows and browns finding their way to the net. It was not to be. Only one plump rainbow was fooled and then wind gusts reaching […]

Freeze frame

Al Stewart recorded a song decades ago entitled Time Passages. This picture hammers home how fast time really goes. So does the text a young cowboy received from his old high school buddy Rusty. He wrote that he’s reached the eighty per cent stage of his life. Knowing him, he’ll cram enough in the final […]

My wife had such a good time at her high school reunion, she encouraged me to attend mine. She said some people had changed a lot while others appeared to have retained their youthful vitality. Reluctantly, I agreed to go. Some of the fellas were missing their hair and some ladies clearly had injections unrelated […]

Collateral damage

Superman

Ok…this is Gary. Kind of looks like your basic Kiwanis Club member or maybe the kindly pharmacist at Kings Soopers. His full name is Gary Michael Rose and today he was awarded The Congressional Medal of Honor for his gallantry during the Vietnam War. The accounts of his bravery are incredible. Mr. Rose was a […]

‘You think I don’t wonder if you’re coming back? At least you could get another cat or a parakeet so I’m not bored out of my mind while you two paint the town.’

Euphoria

October 11, 2017

The word glee is rarely used anymore and maybe we just don’t experience it enough these days. It means great delight…pleasure…happiness, joy, and euphoria. You know, the feeling shared by all Chicago Cubs fans after they won The World Series last fall. It seems that we lose a sense of glee as we age. Not […]

Majestic

A very young cowboy loves the drive to Eleven Mile Canyon to chase wily rainbow and brown trout. The canyon is one of the most beautiful in Colorado.

Fire

October 7, 2017

There’s a place for emotion in tennis…a time to show elation after a great point. I wonder if playing poker faced like Bjorn Borg and Karolina Plishkova is really something to emulate. Certainly, a player can benefit from being even keeled during a match but wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to show a bit of […]

Exquisite

I will be the gladdest thing Under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one. I will look at cliffs and clouds With quiet eyes, Watch the wind bow down the grass, And the grass rise. And when lights begin to show Up from the town, I will mark which must […]

The eyes are like a storybook. They speak of hope…determination, and love. Interwoven are compassion, faith, and fun. What story will your eyes tell today?

Gung ho
