The rise of vehicle break ins over the last few years has been astounding. Finally, people are creating unique ideas to deter the would be thieves. I doubt this will work as well as the sticker spotted last year on a vehicle’s back window….’CAUTION…Rattlesnake in back seat.”

First of all, this fella has one great name…Gary Miracle. I read about his heroic attitude today in Harris Faulkner’s terrific book Faith Still Moves Mountains. Gary was stricken with a devastating, life endangering bacteria called sepsis. He was sooo close to cashing in all the chips but somehow survived this nasty intruder. He ended […]

A good friend has been experiencing a bout of the holiday blues. He had an appointment with a psychiatrist last week and believes the advice offered was quite unique. Immediately upon rising, view the online video of Cockatoo Loves Elvis. Shower and take the dog on a 45 minute walk breathily deeply through […]

A woman asked her young son, “how do you do it buddy?” ”How do you deal with this kind of pain and keep smiling?” The ten year old had had countless surgeries and now a rare spinal disorder. ”Well, Mama, life goes the way the corners of your mouth turn. “ She asked what he […]

The year 2023 has not begun so well. Sally said she had to find a way to curtail my ADHD like verbal ramblings. I guess the cowboy should feel fortunate as her history with Felix and his misbehaving is now legendary.

Well…you learn something every day. I was speaking with Christina Kent before leaving The Randy Ross Tennis Center this morning. She mentioned that she has an online active wear boutique with ZYIA ACTIVE. (myzyia.com) I checked it out…stylish athletic and casual wear for prices you can’t beat. Christina mentioned sales opportunities for people who wish […]

I have visited Provo, Utah a number of times and it is stunning. The Provo River has a reputation as being a premier trout fishing stream in the west. A not so young cowboy still regrets not accepting a baseball scholarship there where the pitching coach was the former Pirates great Vernon Law. From the […]

The Randy Ross Tennis Center held a holiday tennis mixer last Wednesday evening. Players were encouraged to wear their favorite seasonal sweater. Crystal, Ginger, and Marla were resplendent in sweaters that we’ll certainly see soon at The Australian Open in Melbourne. Nice going, Rock Stars!

A very young cowboy is reading a terrific book entitled Breath by James Nestor. I’ve known for a long time that I snore, have sleep apnea, and that both are not conducive to optimum living. This book posits that the world is chock full of mouth breathers and that deep, slow, nasal breathing is far […]

We’ve known since childhood that a balloon is an inanimate object. To bring it to life, one must take it in their hands and fill it with life giving air. So it is with dreams. We are called to take an inanimate object and animate it with clear intention, focused effort, and unstoppable belief. Without […]

A pastor from New York City was on a mission trip in Argentina. He was, through an interpreter, sharing the gospel with people…many who were the poorest of the poor. From a nearby tent, a woman emerged and knelt at his feet. She took a rag and began buffing his shoes that had become covered […]

My wife sometimes just shakes her head in wonder when I return from another day on the river…another day when those wily trout with the pea sized brains disregarded every fly offered. ”I don’t know what it is that draws you like a magnet to the river so often, honey.” I guess time has taught […]
