A good friend asked if I might want to go see a Major League Baseball game at Coors Field. I said that the team’s mismanagement resulting in a current last place standing means we’d have to travel over six hundred miles to Kansas City to see the majors play. Holy Schmole! ** That’s the result […]

I ran into Richard Oliver last Sunday on the tennis courts. He mentioned that he is involved with an organization that recycles used tennis balls.

On November 18, 2018, he suffered a compound fracture of his leg. Alex has had 17 surgeries since that fateful day and developed a sepsis infection that threatened […]

A very young cowboy’s Alma mater…Mesa College (now Colorado Mesa University) has come up with a terrific idea. It’s called The CMU Center for Reflection.
