Here’s a riddle for you (I don’t know the answer): What initially runs from a dog but then turns to fight, snarling all the while? Two nights ago Oz and I went out the front door around 11:30. He took about two steps, turned toward the northeast corner of the house, and took off at […]

My acting career pretty much began and ended in junior high, and I can’t say as though I’m sad about that. But it does mean my credentials to talk about the craft of acting may be suspect. Oh well — a lack of credentials hasn’t stopped me yet. And there’s always Kenneth Tynan. I have […]

I don’t know what I was planning to blither about to you today. I had a multitude of topics; possibly I was going to go with GCEA’s Electric Car Week, which I feel the need to take off from work to celebrate. But then I took a shower, and now I’m just about over electricity. […]

  I sent today’s post out without the photo illustration, and I didn’t want you missing out. This is Kesh, licking the bubbles in the fountain. Behind him note the new trash can (from Target) which almost exactly matches Lynn’s kitchen wall. It takes real skill to come up with finds like that.

See if you find anything incongruous here: after eating our lunch at Sonic, Lynn and I went to the health food store. I would just like to say that our fast-food visits in Gunnison are incongruent with those we make in Montrose.

I expect, when I read the national news, that it’s going to depress me, but yesterday it was the local paper with the news that just makes me feel powerless in the […]

Perhaps you will recall that right before we moved, we were waiting for “the metal guy” to come get all our large scrap metal, but he didn’t come when he said he would, so at 5:30 prior to a 6 p.m. walk-through by our buyers, Lynn and I were flinging metal into the backs of […]

In the aftermath of the most notorious school shooting of them all, the inestimable Ed Quillen of Salida, who among many other pursuits was a Denver Post columnist with a large and dedicated following, wrote a highly personal column lamenting the loss of the casual use of his daughter’s name, which is Columbine. We have […]

Bicycle races have been a hit or miss proposition in Colorado, more miss than hit. When “they” (whoever they are) stage one, it seems quite successful, but I may not be the only person in the world who doesn’t  understand the financial model of bike racing. Even now, as an experienced spectator, I have no […]
