TBS

October 23, 2016

It has been 161 days and my wife may be the happiest of all. No longer do golf balls litter the den or master bedroom. Putters are hidden in the garage and basement. For me, I am so much happier too. Day by day, the TBS that used to be so controlling is losing its […]

A very young cowboy saw this book a month ago while visiting Bar Harbor, Maine. I picked it up after returning to Denver and it was a terrific read. Juliana Buhring writes movingly about her quest to ride a bicycle around the world to set a Guiness World a Record. If you’d like a pick […]

Hogwash

October 22, 2016

Jonathan’s parents watched the third debate hoping it might be better than the first two. Mom, dad, and their son could hardly believe that the process has sunk as low as it has. It makes one think that 2020 could feature Jerry Springer vs. Rosie O’Donnell.

Faith

October 21, 2016
