The restaurant business is exceedingly competitive. One restaurant in southeast Denver (Urban Egg) evidently doesn’t believe the above statement. Sally ordered iced coffee today and uttered that famous McEnroe line…‘ you cannot be serious!’, when the bill arrived. The waitress tried to justify this lack of competitive consciousness indicating that $6.99 for a cup of […]

Taylor was about to crush a topspin two handed backhand today when her swing was interrupted. A flying squirrel leapt from a nearby pine tree and affixed itself to her scalp. Luckily, her sister Blake rushed to the rescue, grabbed the squirrel by the tail, and heaved it over the fence. Happily, Taylor was still […]

It was unlike any dream in my first seventy three years of life. The only word that comes close to describe it is ‘luminous’. There were reassuring voices of people in the past…ones no longer here but still somehow remaining in touch. It was clear that they live now in a remarkable place. Delete that…an […]

“Sitting is more dangerous than smoking, kills more people than HIV and is more treacherous than parachuting. The chair is out to kill us.” Dr. James Levine Levine believes that U.S. citizens spend more than half of their waking hours sitting down in front of a tv, driving, or behind a desk at work.

Maybe I’ve been living a sheltered life but I always thought taking the dog for a walk involved some exercise…for the dog. Today, I initially thought a fella was taking a toddler for a walk until closer inspection revealed a dog. Oh well…one lucky pooch I guess.

A light drizzle followed Annie and me on our walk just now. There’s not much drama with her…hardly sniffs the grass and just seems to be content being outside. At the halfway point, we both stopped as a silver haired woman appeared out of nowhere. She too, was on a walk with a large dog […]

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the […]

I awakened early this morning thinking of a young man and his family…they are living through times that try one’s soul for sure. This is a fella who clings to hope with the faith that better days will define his future and life. Intuition speaks to me saying that great things will come from the […]

I read today that Nikola Jokic said he could not do 1 push-up in high school. We are watching arguably the best passing big man in the history of basketball. So great is this player that one day when he retires, they’ll rename a ‘triple double’ a ‘JOKIC’. Kudos to the person who delivered this […]

A club tennis player lost a match recently to a player she’d beaten routinely in the past. In her next lesson, she told the coach she had tried to take the advice given and play just one point at a time. The coach listened and then responded…’I said play one ball at a time.’ Maybe this […]

Yesterday, whilst stalking trout on The South Platte River, a curious thing happened. I was two miles below the hamlet of Deckers and heading from the stream to the car for lunch when something caught my eye in the bushes. At first, it appeared to be an amadou cloth patch that anglers use to dry […]

Blake and Taylor rocked on the tennis court today. After tennis, they both tried their hand at juggling and Blake was thrilled at the progress she made! Here’s hoping the girls fulfill their promise to practice as they will soon have three ball juggling conquered to impress their friends.

You gotta like the creativity of PGA professionals. After getting slapped in the face by Jay Monahan, they have scheduled their own event to be played in the fall in Washington D.C.. The Benedict Arnold Memorial tournament will honor these professional’s allegiance to the honor and integrity that has been the bedrock of their tour…while taking a […]

This is Rose Zhang who was the number 1 amateur golfer in the world before turning professional. Those fans who’ve seen her interviews immediately realize she is a class act…oh, and she won the first professional golf tournament she entered last week. I’ll be rooting for Rose and look forward to watching her dazzling play […]

Most of us, from that all important sixteenth birthday, have internalized the fallacious thought that…to get anywhere in life, one must constantly have their foot on the accelerator. This pedal to the metal mentality surely drives folks to go after worthwhile goals and is critical for success. A rich and rewarding life rarely just falls […]

Oh, that pesky appetite with eyes that light up at the mention of mud pie and bratwurst on The Fourth of July Oh, that devious voice that resides in our head whispering that the greasy fries are fine and that a pint of ice cream’s ok an hour before bed Oh, that tricky saboteur that […]
