Fan appreciation

We decided to get creative today in an advanced beginner tennis class featuring Diego, Carlos, and Revanth. On the next court, two 10 and under girls were playing a tournament match and they were very good players. Parents and relatives were viewing the match from the viewing area above and were clapping and giving verbal […]

A legacy of life

July 21, 2023

I wonder if the seventy something fella ever sits in his easy chair at night with a wry, well earned smile.  Do the memories of middle of the night alarm clocks and weekends on call all seem worth it now? Most men at this stage of the journey reflect on children raised and grandkids cherished […]

A Thorny Issue

July 19, 2023

An older fella was trimming overgrown branches from a few Russian olive trees yesterday. While depositing them in trash bags, he was pricked by a number of feisty thorns. This comes after he just completed reading A Doctor at Calvary by Pierre Barbet. The highly impactful book was written long ago by an expert who […]

“Lastly, to my father, thank you for the life you lived and the example you set for me. I love you. I close with one of your famous teachings. I don’t think I’ve ever heard it said better. “The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your […]

Staying put for now

July 5, 2023

We had visited Sally’s parents every spring for years in Del Ray Beach, Florida. I asked her this week if she’d ever be interested in exploring a move to that area. Her response was immediate and abrupt…’not on your life’! She said that I should start reading the news…that a large alligator entered a home […]

Two sides of the coin

I felt compelled to take this photo yesterday…for those who relish these special relationships and for the others who wish they had one like this.

Aaaahhhh

Following a pretty alarming sleep study report in May, a very young cowboy now uses a CPAP machine and daily music meditation in search of a better balance. I won’t elaborate on the negative health issues associated with sleep apnea but will use an example that came to me this morning. The fortunate ones who […]

Out of this World

July 3, 2023

Sally suggested we take a road trip today to tour The Olympic and Paralympic museum in Colorado Springs. It was quite an experience with terrific memorabilia from The Miracle on Ice to Mary Lou Retton and Simone Biles, to Wilma Rudolf and Jesse Owens and his four gold medals in Munich in 1936. The highlight […]

Hallelujah

I read a book recently about NDE’s (near death experiences) It was interesting that in every reported case, those who’ve been interviewed following the event stated that there are zero television sets in the next life. Obviously, that means no commercials and for that we can all be thankful.

A memorable day indeed

July 2, 2023

A youngster was all smiles while being interviewed following his visit to the newly reopened Casa Bonita restaurant. He was asked how great the experience was and replied…’this has to be the second best day of my life’! It made me think about the second best day of my life…no problem, the day I was […]

Trusted friends

I learned a new term today…’canine comfort’. In the hospital or at home, dogs are like a soothing salve that helps cure many of the things that ail us humans.

The new normal

July 2, 2023

I phoned a local landscaping company this week and was greeted by a very familiar prerecorded message…’if this is a life threatening emergency, please hang up and dial 911…for snow removal, Press 1, for lawn care Press 2, for equipment repair, Press 3, for ant eradication, Press 4… .to speak to an associate, forget about […]

Beautiful

Sally has long been fascinated by the color and variety of birds on Planet Earth. I hesitated in showing her the one I encountered whilst fly fishing yesterday as I doubt that she’d believe me.

Astronomical

The European Space Agency is embarking on The Euclid Project with a new, super powerful telescope. Reportedly, they will be investigating one billion galaxies each containing 100 billion stars. Kind of makes you feel a bit small doesn’t it?

Ten things Manager Bud Black might have thought as The Colorado Rockies were pounded 25-1 this weekend by The California Angels.  Management insisted this was the major leagues.  What’s wrong with calling an Uber and coming back tomorrow?  Friends I played with enjoyed 18 holes today and dinner with their families.  Maybe Dante Bichette, Ubaldo Jiminez, […]
