We agreed to try it just once. Having grown very comfortable looking after dogs, we said ‘sure,’ when Ellen called to ask if we could care for her cat for three days. I guess that’s how you learn. The fact that she brought enough food to feed two Labrador retrievers for a week should have […]

A very young cowboy has waded this stretch of The South Platte River countless times. Nearly 100% of the time there are two seventeen inch rainbow trout swimming contentedly a foot downstream from my boots. Experts say it’s because our wading kicks up hundreds of little midges from the substrate and the fish nearly have […]

It doesn’t matter if a cowboy lives in the mountains or in the flats, as long as it’s warm and there is a place to lay his hat. Anonymous

Some people are blessed with an innate sense of fashion. There are others not so gifted…they try to make up for it by thinking outside the box. Sometimes it works…you be the judge.

Skiers are chomping at the bit as the high country begins getting some sizable snowfall. Our neighbors must have left nearly fifty trash bags of leaves at the curb in the past three weeks. Yes, these leaves can be a hassle unless you’re just out for a stroll on a magnificent autumn afternoon.

Heaven knows the Syrian refugee problem is immense. You don’t have to tell this mother and her children.

Holy Schmole…now this is a golf swing! Tommy Morrissey sure has a knack for the game.

There was a box on our front porch this morning. At first we were hesitant to open it. My wife heard some scratching and thought it might have been a small puppy. It turns out that that owner could no longer care for this kitty and hoped we could find a home for it. Clancy […]

C’mon Lavar. Let’s get real. Everyone will soon forget that one of your sons was arrested in China for shoplifting. He’ll learn from this and move on. What’s more concerning is how you are making the family the baller version of The Kardashians. Please retract this statement as soon as possible. “He’s going to be […]

It’s all good. Even though most Denver Broncos fans realize that the guys in orange and blue are not worth watching this season, it’s not the end of the world. At least we have these incredible orange sunsets that soften the blow of such lackluster play.

I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I’m so blessed, it’s almost scary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh. Daniel Gilbert

Cowgirl is a spirit, a special brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up. They defend the things they hold dear. A cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider, or an actress. But […]

Al Stewart recorded a song decades ago entitled Time Passages. This picture hammers home how fast time really goes. So does the text a young cowboy received from his old high school buddy Rusty. He wrote that he’s reached the eighty per cent stage of his life. Knowing him, he’ll cram enough in the final […]

Kudos to my wife. With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s very commendable that she would agree to have my first wife attend our ‘turkey day’ celebration. Marge really had no other options this year. A chain smoker since her teens, she has agreed to light up only on the back patio.

All around the country there were memorable tributes to our veterans this weekend in honor of Veteran’s Day. For a look at the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women, I highly recommend George W. Bush’s recent book Portraits of Courage. The former president is quite an artist with the highest regard for our veterans.
