As another work week comes to a conclusion tomorrow, I’ve calculated that it will mark the 3,579th. Friday that I have experienced.

A cowboy prayed that on that very last day…vivid memories would stream through his mind like the water flowing under Bridge Crossing high in The Colorado Rockies. For just an instant he’d feel that heavy tug of the gorgeous 21 inch rainbow that ambushed the olive Woolly Bugger before dawn… He’d hold once more his […]

A very young cowboy was reading a book last week and came across a word used very infrequently. Maybe you’ve heard it but rarely, if ever, use it. The word is tethered. It caused me to picture that fun, backyard game we played growing up in Prairie Village, Kansas. Did you play tether ball too? […]

Take things in stride. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be happy in the moment. Keep perspective. Accept what you can’t change. Be strong for those around you and ask yourself how your disposition and reactions affect them. Take on every challenge. Don’t run away. Take ownership of everything that happens in your life.

Ricky was too young to understand when grandpa was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease at 58. He […]

The devastating tornadoes recently and the mammoth windstorm that swept across Colorado yesterday showed that the rug can pulled from beneath us so very quickly. ‘Tis best to count our blessings daily and build a deep reservoir of gratitude to help when the storms of life arrive.

Dr. Bob Rotella has authored close to a dozen books on golf and life. My terrific high school basketball coach, Bob McKendry, suggested I pick up a copy of Dr. Bob’s book entitled Make Your Next Shot Your Best Shot. I’m glad I did as it’s filled with tasty morsels. Since reading the excerpt below, […]

A very young cowboy was driving on Mineral en route to get my covid booster shot. In a flash, a squirrel darted from the nearby trees in hopes of crossing the street. The feisty critter found itself about 18 inches from the front tire of the vehicle and I feared for its life. No problem…the […]

We asked Coach Juan and a junior player to do a mindful tennis demonstration today and it went quite well indeed. We timed the duo and they had a one minute and seven second rally. Thinking back on the rest of practice, that point surely was four to five times the length of any other […]

Senator John Kennedy is, hands down, the most refreshing voice in our nation’s capital. Some would say that he’s the only refreshing voice in Washington. When ask recently what would improve the monstrous, 2,000 + page, pork laden, inflation fueling, won’t cost a cent, 4.5 trillion dollar bill coming up soon for a vote in […]
