Who knew?

Yesterday afternoon, my orthopedic surgeon did a fine job with another cortisone injection in my wrist. I asked  him to keep me posted if any new treatments become available for wrist arthritis. Doc said PRP therapy is getting a lot of press but it’s too early to tell if it could be the answer. He […]

For the love of hoops

March 31, 2018

A very young cowboy was on a long walk today when a youngster shooting hoops caught my eye. ‘He’s really good,’ I said to Sally. I wandered over to see if the boy was in high school yet. ‘Next year,’ he said. Let me just say that the coach at Mullen will be delighted when […]

A Special Hall of Famer

March 2, 2018

There was a neat special on the news this week about former Notre Dame basketball star Adrian Dantley. AD played for five NBA teams and was a force to be reckoned with. If he played today, Dantley would easily make $20 million per season. One might think that a Hall of Famer who made millions […]

Olympic Madness

February 21, 2018

We really like you, Mike Tirico…you are an excellent choice to replace Bob Costas in hosting the Olympics telecast. That being said, whoever is in charge of programming should receive a one way ticket to North Korea. The number of commercials, filler interviews, and incessant moving from one event to another has been maddening. The […]

A very young man received a text on Thursday from an old college friend named Paul Rossi. He was a standout basketball player long ago at Holy Family High School and Metro State.

Appalling Tyler Tannahill

February 16, 2018

Can you say crazy? I am not making this up. Even after the tragedy in Florida, a man running for Congress in Kansas is promoting his campaign with a drawing for an AR-15 Massacre Weapon. Tyler Tannahill, a Marine veteran, announced the giveaway one day before the shooting. He told The Kansas City Star that […]

Crunch time

February 14, 2018

Sixty-two and Forty-four. Jerry West is the Hall of Fame basketball player from West Virginia who made the number 44 famous on the hardwood. His nickname was Mr. Clutch due to his uncanny ability to come up big in the last seconds of important games. Let’s hope he was watching last night as Shaun White […]

Grace

January 22, 2018

Grace couldn’t tell her mom about what happened on the bus today. She just kept to herself and hoped the cruel comments would not resume on Monday. The youngster had all weekend to be haunted by the two questions bullied kids ask themselves…’what did I do?’ and ‘will this ever stop?’

Take care

Tyler Chatwood

December 10, 2017

The U S of A has got to be the greatest country on earth. Where else can a bench warming quarterback (Brock Osweiler)) sign a contract for $72 million, a pretty decent power forward (Paul Millsap) gets $90 million, and a very average major league pitcher (Tyler Chatwood) takes advantage of free agency to sign […]

Going out with a bang
