My Cave My View

MY CAVE, MY VIEW I am driving down to the Moab Five Mile Race and I ask my too kind and loving wife if she brought my breakfast burrito.  The incongruous nature of my actions; eating a breakfast burrito and running, seems odd and I don’t know if it is because I have matured as a human...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW Someone asked me the other day if I was happy.  My first reaction was to say “of course I am happy”; as it seems that there is a good deal of pressure in America to be happy.  If you are not happy, then by golly you better get happy.  If you must, go see a counselor,...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. I could go on about the food and football and taking a nap in my favorite over-stuffed chair; but if there is anything I have come to believe, it is to take the time now to say thank you. The lack of gratitude may be one of the...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW I am riding a bike over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. In a typical year there are nearly 41 million people that cross the bridge. It is a classic Fall day with fog that comes and goes, playing peek-a-boo, hiding the entire bridge and then revealing the...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW My too kind and loving wife doesn’t think I am very observant; I hadn’t noticed.  But she makes this absurd claim because I can look in the fridge for ten minutes and not find what I am looking for and she can walk by and not even look and say, “It’s behind the mustard...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW I have to hand it to my good friend Bubba.  He attempts to pacify his lovely wife’s endless desire to talk about meaningless, unrelated, unimportant subjects for endless hours on end.  These are not discussions as much as one-sided long winded mindless ramblings about...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW So how do I know that I am getting older?  There are lots of tell-tale signs that you are getting older.  Perhaps the one with the most sting is that you are invisible to young people.  Yup; you heard me right.  You become invisible to young people, they don’t look at...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW I am sitting here eating a donut and thinking that it is about time that I lose some weight for the annual 24h of July celebration.   Nothing motivates me to lose five pounds like the annual stroll in the park.  The annual 24th-stroll has caused more people to lose...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW I just finished driving 850 miles so that I could be by Turbo’s side when he was put to sleep.  There are few people that have liked me and stuck by me as much as Turbo.  He used to run with me; then he and I slowed down some and we could only go for a walk, lately, he...
MY CAVE, MY VIEW I just had a Pepsi and pulled pork pig sandwich in Culdesac, ID at Shebang Days 2010, where the motto is Going Hog Wild. The mascot is a porker, and the population is 387… minus the former mascot. My too kind and loving wife is grossed out because there is a young...
