Our little Maltese was named Lexie. As she aged, Lexie would flat out refuse to continue her walks with Sally and just lie down obstinately like this. This dude looks more like a Max, though.

Christmas. Another time of the year when people get so overloaded by their to do lists that the joy of the season goes out the window. Maybe it’s time to take a deep breath…exhale slowly, and let go of the musts and become grounded again.

A young man met a wise octogenarian last week at Breakfast on Broadway. He told fascinating stories of surviving (barely) intense battles in Korea and of making millions and losing nearly everything due to imprudent investments. Listening and watching him closely, there seemed to be no sense of regret…no Monday morning quarterbacking looking at the […]

It was late May in 1969. The school year had just ended at Mesa Junior College in Grand Junction, Colorado. Mike Hayes, a cowboy, and a couple of other friends were engaged in a spirited competition on our favorite pinball machine named MIBS. All of a sudden, there was a commotion to our right. A […]

I opted out of a fishing trip today to watch the memorial service for #41….George H.W. Bush. It was a good choice as it was a very moving ceremony. I was all decked out in my favorite blue and white fishing shirt and the car was packed to the hilt. A bit later, Sally asked […]

Ok…what do Joe Dimaggio and #5 have to do with me and the daily use of 24 Hour Fitness? Here’s the back story. On my three previous visits to the club, I’d returned to my locker to gather my winter coat and favorite blue sweater. The only problem…I could not, for the life of me, […]

In the far distant past, a very young cowboy had just moved in to Aspen Hall at Mesa College in Grand Junction. My roommate was a defensive back named John Maurer. One day, there was a knock on our door and a couple of his newfound football buddies entered the room. I had never heard […]

Peter McWilliams wrote a terrific little book entitled ‘You can’t afford the luxury of a negative thought.’ It made a very young cowboy consider that this pertains to thoughts about: your neighbors, Father Time, a below average day on the courts or links, the weather, gridlock in Washinton…or on the highway, chronic aches and pains, […]
