A very young cowboy learned a new word today..’motherese’. It is used in the enlightening book entitled Your Playlist Can Change Your Life. The book posits that music not only profoundly influences young children but people of any age. Back to motherese…it means ‘the singsong ways parents speak to their children before and after birth.’ […]

My wife and I love watching Sloane Stephens compete on the tennis court. So smooooth, so athletic…and a determined fighter too. Her win at last year’s U.S. Open was epic. As The Tennis Channel commentators say…’she also has a million dollar smile and a great attitude. Now…if she would just watch the replay of her […]

Someone please help me understand The Colorado Rockies front office. They are shelling out $106 million dollars over the next three years for three relief pitchers who will go unnamed. If you’ve watched any games this summer, you must empathize with the everyday starters who play amazing defense and the starting pitchers who look on […]

Are there foolproof indicators that a marriage is on shaky ground…about to go up in flames. Well yes, there certainly are telltale signs. Take, for example, a couple in Wheat Ridge. After a late night argument, the husband decided to go sleep in his car. He was rudely awakened from his slumber by a rather […]

Organizers are enlisting support to encourage a cessation of mindless tweets that demean the stature of our nation’s highest office. If interested, please plan to say a prayer every Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. that restraint will prevail and that common sense […]

We were in Breckenridge last week and ran into a huge, must have been 1,200 lb. bull moose. It was feeding leisurely on birch trees in a startled resident’s backyard. No, this is not a foolish young cowboy taking a photo but one fella did venture twenty five yards from the brute to snap it’s […]

Most people never get to see a mountain lion in the wild…and they’re pretty happy about it. A very young cowboy has only seen one from a distance long ago while fishing near Golden, Colorado. This couple in Conifer might want to keep Millie the poodle inside.

Jackie DeShannon first released this song on April 15, 1965. It was written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and soon became a classic. The more we see of the strife in the world today, the more relevant this song has become. For anyone not familiar with Sara Bareilles, this song and the duet below […]

It’s time. After today’s most recent implosion by the bullpen, it’s rumored that the Colorado Rockies relief pitchers will now only pitch batting practice before games. The fact that they have been pitching bp in the late innings when they are supposed to be securing wins have made them absolutely painful to watch. The 13-12 […]

A tennis student of mine related a story this week about her daughter. The soon to be high school athlete was attending a sports camp to enhance her skills. At one point, the coach yelled at her saying…’c’mon, my five year old could have made that play!!’ My reaction is really simple. If it happens […]

Why does this Colorado Rockies manager look so serious? You would look this way too if your starting pitchers dug an early inning hole in two out of every three games in April. It’s hard to imagine him getting a lot of sleep or tolerating much longer such shoddy performances.
