High anxiety

August 26, 2017

My wife will be attending a monumental high school reunion in three weeks. I must admit to being a bit anxious. This is a picture of her at her tenth reunion. It’s reported that she over imbibed and was seen leaving at 2:00 a.m. with the accordion player. When I questioned her later, she said […]

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, –and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of –Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, […]

Yesterday was James’ first day at tennis practice. He immediately fit in with the guys and appeared to love every minute with a smile that wouldn’t quit. On a water break, I said to James…’On a scale of 1 – 100, how much fun is tennis?’ He thought for a moment and replied, ‘about a […]

Beauty

We saw a moose in Steamboat last week…it wasn’t as majestic as this one but makes you appreciate living in Colorful Colorado.

Rarely do kids or dogs get ulcers. More often they visit hurry up adults who fail to see the value of slowing down now and then.

Grant eats alone each day at school. He has avoided social media since the cyber bullying began three years ago. It was just last week that he was able to summon the nerve to tell his folks who knew something wasn’t right. The youngster abruptly dropped out of baseball and has asked to be home […]

Not!

Any discussion of our narcissistic tweeter in chief joining the real statesmen on Mt. Rushmore can be silenced immediately. Their reaction to the thought says it all.

Slower

July 29, 2017

To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple […]

Tennis momentum
