Today in my walk through the woods with the doggies, I pondered a question posed to me, “How can there ever be peace”, in reference to the chaos which has beset my life as of late. Peace is of course a good thing, something that should be sought by everyone. I even had a wise … Continue reading Peace

One Year Ago
One full year has gone by since the passing of my wife and companion of 27 years. Much has changed in that year, but much is the same. I find that I miss what we had together, especially during our years in the Denver area. I miss our home, our friends our holidays together and … Continue reading One Year Ago
Chapter Complete
I wasn't going to go to Denver today. Only had three boxes and it wouldn't be worth the trip, but they were bugging me. Three boxes standing between me and being finished with that chapter of my life. I can't stand something like that hanging over me so I loaded them up in the Miata … Continue reading Chapter Complete
Therapeutic
Today is a cold dreary rainy snowy day and sitting at home was just too depressing so I thought the coffee shop in downtown Woodland Park would be nice. There is a table there that I consider mine, the one right by the south window where I can sit and look at Pikes Peak. Today … Continue reading Therapeutic
Writer’s Block
I have heard of Writer's Block... a situation where a writer cannot seem to write anymore for some unknown reason. I have had some Writer's Block lately, but I know the reason.

Now the pressure for the move is off and I am … Continue reading Memories
The Lonliest Job
We have been on many an adventure over the last 25 years together. Sometimes we won and sometimes we lost. I can remember several times in the last few years when our business wasn't working out in the location that we found ourselves in and we had to scramble to get out. It isn't easy … Continue reading The Lonliest Job
Dust in the Wind
Five days to go before I have to be out of this place and the donation truck is coming today to lighten my load. Over the last couple of weeks as I have been packing, donating and preparing to move out, I am intrigued by the perceived value of things. When we were younger we … Continue reading Dust in the Wind
The Gift
As I have been going about the business of moving on I have also been stopping in at all the places Tricia liked to make sure everyone has been informed of the sad news. In doing so I have been continually astonished at the effect her life, her suffering and her passing have had on … Continue reading The Gift
Finality
I wasn't going to write again on Tricia's passing, but the events of the day have again turned my thoughts to the grieving process. As I awoke this morning, before I had completely come to full consciousness, I looked over to see if I was going to be able to start moving around without awakening … Continue reading Finality
