We recently made a life changing discovery. If you’ve spent any time around 3MPH, you know we like to walk. But until recently, anything over 3 or 4 miles and my feet would start hurting. I had to plan walks for less than that or take breaks, to stop and massage the little piggies. Then […]

It’s been a hot summer here on the High Plains, like much of the Wild West this year. Summertime’s been fun but we’re getting excited with the promise of the season change and cooler weather. We love to bake and it’s not as pleasant in the Summertime as the other seasons. The oven heats up

I quit the news and social media about 2 years ago, because it tended to irritate my sensibilities. Then last year after I’d learned to keep my emotions in check ( somewhat ;>)), I started looking at it again, a little at a time. With the world rapidly deteriorating into anarchy and chaos, it seemed
We’ve always celebrated Fridays, as far back as I can remember. It was the starting line for the race into weekend fun. The spot on the weekly calendar, where we shifted gears from work -a- day, to time to play; or something like that. I think we probably appreciate Friday’s more now in our Golden

We should take every opportunity to get out there and explore; learning what she has to teach us. Vickie and I are delving into the possibilities to do exactly that, as we transition into ” The Golden

I first fell in love with Colorado’s, Rocky Mountains when I was just a little tyke. My Dad was born in Illinois like I was but his Mother was a descendant of a farming dynasty in the San Luis Valley, located in South-Central Colorado. We made the trip many times in my youth from the
The other day I was down in the man cave, installing some book shelves. Over the years I collected thousands of books but in the last decade or so I’ve given most of them away as we’ve downsized, to fit our various collections into the little cottage we call home. I kept a few hundred
As I was climbing the Empire State Building for the second time this week, I realized; it’s not death that scares me. What scares the hell out of me, is being an old, decrepit, used up, broken down, bag of bones, who can’t even get off the couch. I didn’t climb the actual Empire State
Since moving to the cottage in Emerald City a half dozen years ago, I’ve made a tradition of celebrating my Birthday by riding my age on the glorious gravel of the Eastern Colorado High Plains. This year I turned 63, so I had to find a fun ride that was at least 63 miles long.
I remind myself daily that life’s not a race, it’s a journey. A creative quest, meant to be experienced and mastered; not completed as quickly as possible. In other words – Slow Down. The path that leads to your Destiny is a challenging, circuitous route, rife with risks and rewards. It’s a “Hero’s Journey” that

I lost part of myself a few weeks ago. It wasn’t a big surprise, I’d been expecting it for awhile. I went to the dentist to have a tooth extracted. Number 13, the back, upper left bicuspid. Along with the other seven bicuspids, it has served me well for a very long time. There’s a
