Over the years, there have been thousands of incidents where mail carriers/postal workers have been attacked by dogs. Fast forward to today and, since 2020, there have been over 2,000 attacks by dogs who were originally born as humans. Statistics compiled show that only 16% of these ‘canines’ have been prosecuted. Here’s hoping there’s a […]

Is it me, or does anyone find it odd that football telecasts routinely have five talking heads sitting together at halftime analyzing the action that just transpired? Today, I think the reason became clear. If they only had three experts, listening to their commentary would get tired or boring very quickly. News flash…even with 5, […]

A thought came to me yesterday that I’ve been a bit of a slacker. I recall reading an article in July about nine year old Lucy Harris. Her family’s car was rear ended by a careless driver and she was paralyzed instantly from the waist down. Fast forward three months and Lucy just picked out […]

Kelly’s English teacher asked her to stay after class to talk about a writing project. ”You have a gift, Kelly…your writing is that of an old soul and I’ve been touched by everything you have written. Your insights on life are profound and you are a true wordsmith. Have you ever considered writing a book […]

Remember the days when The Broncos had a big time home field advantage? Those days vanished as the carousel of coaches kept spinning round and round. The current coach lambasted last year’s leader and then got embarrassed as the same fella returned to Denver yesterday to score a decisive victory. The entire league is well […]

A very young cowboy entered the tennis club on Wednesday and was greeted by the smile and welcome of Bongsook. I asked if she knew that I was taking violin lessons and if she’d like to hear a quick excerpt from my first recital. As she said ‘sure’, I gradually increased the volume of my […]

Everyday they pass me by I can see it in their eyes Empty people filled with care Headed who knows where On they go through private pain Living fear to fear Laughter hides their silent cries Only Jesus hears People need the Lord, people need the Lord At the end of broken dreams, He’s […]

In this ever accelerating world that often leaves us not knowing if we’re coming or going, it’s nice to have a favorite recliner, some earphones, and music that speaks to the soul. Just click on arrow and scroll to hear.

In reading a new nook about Abraham Lincoln, a very young cowboy discovered a new word I’d never heard before. Sangfroid is one’s ability to stay cool and calm as pressures mount around you. I was hoping the author would segue to a similar word that could help with developing my sangfroid as Season’s 52 […]

Sally and Peggy were thrilled with their hot air balloon flight in Africa. They report that each day is better than the last and that it is truly the trip of a lifetime. You go, ladies!

The CU vs. CSU football game is about to start and ya gotta wonder why the CSU coach would “make it personal” by disrespecting Coach Prime. Here’s hoping CU romps 45-3 to put the Rams in their place. The consensus from nearly everyone I’ve spoken with is that Coach Prime might be the coolest character […]

A very gifted and hilarious tennis player shared this story with me on Friday. Her husband, a gourmet cook, slow cooked a brisket to wow his family. By her account, he did a wonderful job and the meal was delicious. In the middle of a bite, the cook exclaimed that he thought he’d lost a […]

A very young lady shared that she was in a spot of bother…that little annoyances were more upsetting than usual. It was, like most of us, a morning where low frustration tolerance rears its ugly head. A much older man…some have called a fossil, suggested a brief time out for music that heals and restores. […]

Good morning, Barry, I finished reading your story last night and kudos to you. You are a terrific writer loaded with spirit. Yesterday, as I read about Jonathan Cantor and you, another coach walked into our pro’s office and we spoke about your book. She, having lost both sons to the drug world and my […]
