As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

My Dear friends: I cannot help but reflect today on the things that happened to me last year. Because today is a VERY important day for Colleen and myself. On February 17th of last year my big toe, second toe and a third bone were removed from my right foot. I was in a very grim mood for a long time. I was restricted to no weight bearing on my right foot, and was forced to use a walker, I felt li...
Hi Folks! Well, the First Anniversary of Colleen and I is Oct. 17th. To celebrate, Colleen wanted a long trip to Oregon, to see my homeland. Colleen "wants to see the bears", so I know all the roads only hunters and fisherman and a few hillbillies like myself know. I am pretty sure I can flush out a bear or two. I promised her I wouldn't wrestle one. Of course, we will see a great v...

You may have read similar things, but it's worth reading again. These are so precious some of them just bring tears to my eyes! A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds: "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn'...
My Wally is a man of many experiences. I love him to death. He has had a real problem with the events lately, especially at Fort Hood, Texas. He was crying and also VERY angry about it. He was prepared to go out and take on the entire Islamic world singlehandedly. It took a lot of prayer and love to calm Wally down. Wally has Marine in his blood. He will never lose it. The USMC is a deep honored ...
Today is a day for Thanksgiving. And, although I'm going through some painful health problems, I still have a lot to be thankful for. A little less than a year ago I lost my job of 19 years. But, in less than an month I got a job that I enjoy. I have a roof over my head,,,good food on the table,,,heat,,I can pay my bills,,,and I have Foxy. And I have good n...
Oh, my!!! Sunday, November 15 is yet another birthday! (writing now, because we won't be around much this weekend). I look in the mirror every morning and say "my goodness, am I THAT old?" "What happened to 1972?" You know there was a time when I looked just like Randy Bachman of "Bachman Turner Overdrive". Go to You Tube and type in Bachman-Turner, and my favorit...
