We are lucky to care for over twenty different dogs throughout the year. Kenya, Lola, Rocky, Donzie, Minnie, Sadie, Monaco, and Lucy to name just a few. They all are special in their own unique way.

A very young cowboy was driving along the South Platte River near Deckers on Tuesday. I spotted a fella who wore a sun shielding face muff like mine. He was casting from the edge of the road to the stream below which was at least an 8 foot drop. His casting was that of a […]

A national chain of fitness clubs estimates that 32% of its 50,000 members are obsessed with carrying and using their cell phones while working out. Management likens the addiction to that of millennials who say the word ‘like’ so often it makes normal folks want to retch. Good news is on the horizon. A patch…similar […]

‘Performance equals potential minus interference.’ Tim Gallwey ** Megam M. reported in drills on Friday that she played her best tennis when she had put a number of Christmas bells in her hair.

A very young cowboy read a terrific book recently. An unlikely friendship develops when a young American girl writes a pen pal letter to a boy in Africa. Let’s just say it’s a bond that will undoubtedly last forever.

Well, things have certainly changed these past few days. After house hunting in Detroit for three days, we returned to Denver in a quandary. We found Detroit to be a real buyer’s market but the two of us could never be loyal Lions, Tigers, or Pistons fans. Our decision between the two cities was made […]

Doug and Arlene suggested we meet for dinner at Zane’s Italian Bistro. (8101 E. Belleview) What a great surprise! Our waiter (Roger) was Johnny on the spot and as personable as they come. Zane’s has a very energetic atmosphere and the Pasta Bolognese was terrific. Unfortunately, our foursome was too full to try the mud […]

There’d be no telling the life […]

Thirty four years ago, a much younger cowboy planted twenty five tulips on the side of our house. The effort paled in comparison to the previous owners who devoted much of their free time to gardening. Every spring, the yellow tulips arise from the ground around Easter and it makes me think even more about […]

Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass (0.5–1% loss per year after the age of 50), quality, and strength associated with aging. Sarcopenia is a component of the frailty syndrome. It is often a component of cachexia. I highly recommend the […]
