Winter Dreams
This is the time for Winter Dreams. Okay, maybe they are phantasies; but I do think they began as dreams during the night, in the deep recesses of my mind. I was burrowed under the blankets of my bed. Warm. There were three. Let's get into it. Dream One I walk away. Out the door … Continue reading Winter Dreams
The Fall: A review
So here we go, despite my friends' caveats'. "intent matters but is hard to discern in art. One can’t always trust even what the artist says about their work, let alone any critic.” "all reviews are subjective and tell me more about the rater than they do the book." The Fall is a PRIME series … Continue reading The Fall: A review
“Rock One Bourbon
Rock one Bourbon with a splash and a twist," she called approaching the bar. The cocktail was waiting for her by the time she'd slid her tray on the deck. That's how it was done back-in-the-day. The "day" was the night, Glendale, Colorado, 1975. The Warehouse Dinner Theater. She was from Texas. And I wonder … Continue reading “Rock One Bourbon
The River Why Revisited
The River Why (1983) is a novel by David James Duncan (1952) that I've reread now because the movie version (2010) casts Amber Heard in the female role. The movie is very good, the novel stellar. The novel is now historical fiction. It accurately and brilliantly depicts what it was like to be a certain type … Continue reading The River Why Revisited

As it came to pass, that was the night after he died. I had called three days before and he … Continue reading The Last Dream
The Call Of The Wild
is my calling. As well as a classic novel by Jack London. It was first published in 1903, and became the most read book of its time. The book made London rich and famous. I first read it in 1972, living in a cabin on the Poudre River. However, I likely read "To Build A … Continue reading The Call Of The Wild
Screwed without A Kiss
was a rough thing to accept twenty years ago; and is no easier today. Or maybe it is? After all, I'm older and more accepting and grateful - to still be here. Or is it something else? complacency? burn out? hopelessness? Here's the story My favorite intellectual, Robert Wright, just posted a reflection and look … Continue reading Screwed without A Kiss
Field of Dreams
was a movie made in 1989. It was a huge hit and starred Kevin Costner. It was about baseball, fathers and sons, family, America, and dreams. Major League Baseball came up with the idea to play a real game at the movie set in Iowa. Sure, a gimmick promotion. Nevertheless, not a bad idea considering … Continue reading Field of Dreams
Bird personality?
Her name is Farrah. Because she's sexy, fearless and friendly. She's become my favorite finch. Maybe favorite bird ever! The Magpie Cafe is actually my balcony. It's 30 feet above the ground, covered, faces south, and has majestic views of the city and the Rocky Mountains. The actual phantasy of a real cafe was never … Continue reading Bird personality?
