Drew Goodman was speaking tonight of his favorite ballparks that The Rockies visit each year. One that he mentioned was Wrigley Field in Chicago. He said that ‘part of the allure of Wrigley is the smell of stale beer left over from the previous night.’ Guess I’ll have to see for myself but it doesn’t […]

We are lucky to care for over twenty different dogs throughout the year. Kenya, Lola, Rocky, Donzie, Minnie, Sadie, Monaco, and Lucy to name just a few. They all are special in their own unique way. Some, more than others. Some, able to deal with separation anxiety better than the rest and a handful that […]

A very young cowboy was driving along the South Platte River near Deckers on Tuesday. I spotted a fella who wore a sun shielding face muff like mine. He was casting from the edge of the road to the stream below which was at least an 8 foot drop. His casting was that of a […]

When Jamie suggested we meet at The Urban Egg at 6991 E. Belleview, I was all in. Once again, the Huevos Rancheros were off the charts good and the service was impeccable. You ought to give it a try for breakfast or lunch. It is easy to support a group that has terrific food and […]

A national chain of fitness clubs estimates that 32% of its 50,000 members are obsessed with carrying and using their cell phones while working out. Management likens the addiction to that of millennials who say the word ‘like’ so often it makes normal folks want to retch. Good news is on the horizon. A patch…similar […]

Well, things have certainly changed these past few days. After house hunting in Detroit for three days, we returned to Denver in a quandary. We found Detroit to be a real buyer’s market but the two of us could never be loyal Lions, Tigers, or Pistons fans. Our decision between the two cities was made […]

Doug and Arlene suggested we meet for dinner at Zane’s Italian Bistro. (8101 E. Belleview) What a great surprise! Our waiter (Roger) was Johnny on the spot and as personable as they come. Zane’s has a very energetic atmosphere and the Pasta Bolognese was terrific. Unfortunately, our foursome was too full to try the mud […]

Thirty four years ago, a much younger cowboy planted twenty five tulips on the side of our house. The effort paled in comparison to the previous owners who devoted much of their free time to gardening. Every spring, the yellow tulips arise from the ground around Easter and it makes me think even more about […]

Well, it’s official and no need hiding the fact that, after 34 plus years in Denver, Sally and I are house hunting. It’s going to be difficult leaving Colorado…the place where Sally scored her first hole in one, and where cowboy roams the mountain streams stalking rainbows and brown trout. I have heard that the […]

Well…it’s Master’s week again at The Augusta National Golf Club. Tiger Woods is healthy again and Rory McIlroy is trying to win to become one of six players in history to win The Grand Slam. It’s serious stuff. Or is it just a game? At Wednesday’s annual par three contest, some competitors understand it really […]

I enjoy the trip to The South Platte River near Chatfield Reservoir. There’s no guarantee that you’ll catch…or even see any trout, but the odds are good that you and a deer will get up close and personal.

Ok…I guess this means we’ll be enjoying X Games and Olympics for dogs soon. Too funny! https://youtu.be/4q0-k8_90UM

‘Honey…would you do me a favor? Could you kindly go check on that abandoned building in the south pasture? One of the boys said he heard a strange clicking sound out there this morning.’ Jeb returned two hours later with quite the story. Underneath the building were dozens of rattlesnakes. ‘Dear…was there any reason you […]

Shucks…we missed it again. National Squirrel Appreciation Day was January 21st. It seems a great day was had with costume parties, squirrel stew cook offs, and dancing till dawn. We celebrate these critters too…on April 13 every year, we recall how they invaded our attic and created havoc before we shipped them off to the […]

Well…The NBA All Star game remains the farce it’s devolved into in recent years. With at least 15 uncontested dunks in the first six minutes, the accompanying picture seems very appropriate. C’mon guys. ** Note to NBA commissioner…awarding players on the winning team $100,000 has not worked. I mean that’s basically chump change for these […]

Wendy’s message at church today was about marriage and family. She did a terrific job comparing married life to a couple being shipmates on a boat…sailing upon seas that are often turbulent. The fella to my right is hoping that next week’s message is on addiction…as he didn’t hear a word that Wendy said because […]
