I was reviewing the archive the other day and realized I haven’t written a political post in awhile. Vickie warned me away several months back, suggesting that society is divided enough, without 3mph adding fuel to the fire. I figured she’s probably right, being much wiser than I am, on the topic. But after reading […]
We lost our best buddy a week ago. Only dog people understand the very real trauma of losing a four legged companion. Dogs don’t live long, at least relative to humans, so if you’re going to keep dogs, you’re going to deal with loss. It’s never easy but this time it was extremely difficult. Max

Vickie and I spend a fair bit of time daily, walking and talking. Usually between 3 to 5 miles, sometimes further, as we search for that “just right” distance. If one of us doesn’t quite have the gumption, we cheer and coax each other on. I think that’s what God had in mind when he

The first Olympic Games were held about 2800 years ago. Heracles, son of the Greek God Zeus, established the original games, at least according to legend. The games were held high on Mount Olympus, where all the Greek Gods had their summer homes. There was but a single event in that first Olympics, a simple

When I was a kid, somewhere around drinking and voting age, I identified as a Liberal. It might have been the music of the times – Dylan, Baez and Buffalo Springfield or it might have been the mythology the media created around Camelot and JFK that infatuated me. “Ask not what your country can do

There’s a lot to love about “The Great State of Texas” and fishing is at the top of my list. There may not be a better place in the Great Wide World to go fishing. There’s better trout fishing in the rivers and streams of the mighty Rocky Mountains. There’s better flats fishing on the

Our journey through life has at times been chaotic, beautiful, sad, joyful, inspired, amazing, painful and oh, did I mention chaotic. One of the most important discoveries has been that life’s about learning. When you pay attention you learn the important lessons of life. When you don’t pay attention, those lessons keep repeating, again and

“Groundhog Day” got high-jacked back in 1993 by the cult classic, featuring Bill Murray. He played a narcissistic, self-centered weatherman who gets trapped in a time loop on Groundhog Day. The day repeats again and again until he finally gets it right. Since then, when I hear the term Groundhog Day, the first thought that
Instinct is an inbuilt survival system, common to many animals along with humans. It’s part of the limbic system or paleo-mammalian cortex and processes our lower order emotions, like fear, anger and rage.
