Worth a try

January 12, 2023

The rise of vehicle break ins over the last few years has been astounding. Finally, people are creating unique ideas to deter the would be thieves. I doubt this will work as well as the sticker spotted last year on a vehicle’s back window….’CAUTION…Rattlesnake in back seat.”

The Blessing Bell

January 4, 2023

A very dear friend surprised me with a special gift yesterday. The card that accompanied The Blessing Bell reads… Ring this bell when you receive it And always keep it near Ring it for celebrations To add to joy and cheer Ring it when you are afraid or sick And when your voice may not […]

C’mon honey

January 1, 2023

The year 2023 has not begun so well. Sally said she had to find a way to curtail my ADHD like verbal ramblings. I guess the cowboy should feel fortunate as her history with Felix and his misbehaving is now legendary.

ZYIA ACTIVE WEAR

January 1, 2023

Well…you learn something every day. I was speaking with Christina Kent before leaving The Randy Ross Tennis Center this morning. She mentioned that she has an online active wear boutique with ZYIA ACTIVE. (myzyia.com) I checked it out…stylish athletic and casual wear for prices you can’t beat. Christina mentioned sales opportunities for people who wish […]

Buyer’s Remorse

October 18, 2022

Imagine being a member of The Walton family and paying over four billion dollars to become owners of The Denver Broncos. The team hires a new coach and trades for a highly regarded quarterback. By the second half of the sixth game of the season, you don your game faces watching unimaginable futility as fans […]

Not so fast

October 12, 2022

A very young cowboy entered the tennis club this afternoon to see the very shocked face of Devon. He said…’I just received a call from a player who asked…’did Cowboy Bob pass away?’ We both got a good laugh over it. He said my picture and a notice was posted on Instagram indicating that I’d […]

Creativity

October 6, 2022

It took a while to figure this out but I think it now makes sense. Driving to the tennis club yesterday, I glanced to the left and was startled to see the huge head of a Great Dane protruding from the sun roof of a passing vehicle. I guess folks have gotten very creative to […]

Great golf

September 25, 2022

On this, the final day of The President’s Cup, fans were treated to a dazzling display of golf from The American and International teams. Crowds of eight deep lined every hole with loud chants of ‘USA’ whenever Spieth, Thomas, or a teammate captured a hole. I had to wonder if The LIV Golf defectors watched […]

Commitment to America

September 24, 2022

House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy introduced the conservative plan to educate voters as the midterm elections draw closer. I figure it’s definitely worth a look. Surely, it details a promise to reign in government spending that could currently be deemed as One Flew over The Cuckoo’s Nest….where every family is being abused by forty year […]

Patience

June 7, 2022

I’m very proud of my wife tonight. She played golf early this morning in her ladies league and survived two four putt greens in nine holes. I immediately flashed on my first four putt green in 1968 at Lake Valley Golf Club in Boulder…how it was like a lightning bolt skewering my brain. Kudos to […]

Scream fest

March 24, 2022

Aryna Sabalenka has reached a world ranking as high as number two. She hits the ball like Ivan Lendl on steroids. She’s trying to get beyond a case of the yips on her serve. My hope is that after fixing that issue, she works on toning down her trapped mountain lion scream every time she […]

Diners beware

March 18, 2022

‘What a beautiful idea…Restaurant Week.’ That’s the comment made in the car tonight on the thirty minute drive downtown. Scores of restaurants offer special deals to diners and it is a real win-win. That is unless you make reservations at  LUCA   on 7th. avenue.. You see, they have a big problem with their systems. […]

Creative solution

March 16, 2022

Good news for South Platte fishermen. The Colorado Game and Fish Department feels your pain. They have realized what you have…the Deckers stretch of the river is becoming like opening day at overcrowded Missouri streams. A unique idea may just help as parking spaces and prime spots get jammed with anglers. Colorado Game and Fish […]

Exciting job opportunity

March 6, 2022

The Randy Ross Tennis Center in Dove Valley is hiring enthusiastic people to work the front desk. If interested, call 720-615-6845 and ask for Christina Kent.

Heaven

March 5, 2022

When our good friends Doug and Dana won a Powerball lottery of $300 million, they decided that living in an increasingly crowded city like Denver was not for them. So, the couple packed up and moved west to the mountains and are delighted with their decision. They awake many mornings to the sounds and sights […]

Fishing follies

March 3, 2022

A once much younger man was trying to describe the experience of fly fishing The Deckers area of The South Platte River these days. After two outings and 12 hours this week of going without any tugs, the closest I can get is that it’s about as much fun as a game of solitaire. The […]

Poof

December 16, 2021

Ever wonder how many relationships and friendships have dissolved since the pandemic began?

Resilience

December 16, 2021

The devastating tornadoes recently and the mammoth windstorm that swept across Colorado yesterday showed that the rug can pulled from beneath us so very quickly. ‘Tis best to count our blessings daily and build a deep reservoir of gratitude to help when the storms of life arrive.

Terrific Tony

November 29, 2021

Ninety-five year old Tony Bennett performed a career closing concert last night with his great friend Lady Gaga. It was Mr Bennett’s birthday and the pair wowed the New York crowd with many of Tony’s greatest hits. The legendary singer has been battling dementia for a few years but, put him in front of an […]

Dudley

November 22, 2021

Ms. Sally took advantage of our Indian summer weather and took Dudley on a two mile walk. Mr. Wigggly Butt, as I call him, is a year old King Charles Cavalier with nearly inexhaustible energy. That is until he returns from a multiple mile walk.
