The Things We Say Today
I set iTunes to shuffle all my music and just now ‘You Don’t Have Very Far to Go’ by Merle Haggard played. Each time I hear a song from this CD – Big City – I think of a friend of mine Dave Hendry. Dave was an old fashioned man who lived on the outskirts [...]
Do You Hear the People Sing
Friday, 27 December 2012 11:45 a.m. With every passing moment, every passing mile, I could hardly contain my excitement. I was off to see the movie Les Misérables 2012. Like many people I had heard of the book by Victor Hugo but also like many people, I had not read it for it is a [...]
If Only, . . .

It has been unseasonably warm this January and considering the high on Saturday would be in the sixties, it was suggested we visit the zoo. When it comes to quality, active conservation and the willingness to create decent habitats, the Denver Zoo rates very highly. Saying that, there is a certain amount of guilt I [...]

We moved from the desert southwest to the beautiful Rocky Mountains and with new jobs and lives, we are adjusting to our first Christmas away from loved ones. Those traditions and rituals we once enjoyed will need to be recreated. To [...]
