This January verse

Written for all

Every time they felt alone

They looked at their phone


Searching for a something funny 

While some were making money


They yearned for a connection 

Scrolling in the same direction 


Rolling optimism in to doom

Had they become a buffoon


Or simply lost their ability

To enjoy the moment quietly

St. Patrick Stew

Photo credit:  Scott Cain  "St Patrick Stew" For Colin Happy St. Urho’s Day!   For my son, the recipe distilled from five other recipes. Hopefully he likes it. The venison from Robert Ruiz (AKA, Bobby Danger!). It had been in our freezer since 2022 and 2023 respectively.  Essentially all ingredients were what was on hand on this day. At the start of the day (8am), the meat was still frozen. so I added it to the slow cooker immediately, and covered it with the all the liquids required for the recipe. Once defrosted (10am), I added the remaining ingredients. Turing the cooker on high for one hour and then back to low for 7 hours. I estimate that all should be ready by 6pm. 2 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound venison cubed 1 pound ground venison 1/2 pound bacon (cut to squares)*cook separately and then add 1/4 cup all purpose flour Freshly ground salt and pepper 2 cups beer (Guinness) *one pint 2 shots whiskey (Old Grand Dad 115) 1 tablespoon Worcest...

Should you decide to sail away

  Photo credit:   ( Scott Cain ) "Should you decide to sail away" Written for Cheyenne If you go I will not interfere    I will stand upon the foredeck White trousers and blue blazer Flapping in the breeze   Watching in stoic silence   Your vessel departing for warmer waters   Staring without wavering   Blinking not  Until that dot on the horizon disappears I will not tell the crew what I had just witnessed   It is not their burden to know. Every one of your words unforgettable in my soul. I will look to their smiles for gratitude   I will seek their laughter for latitude But in my cabin   In the quiet moments I will play a different tune out of my eyes   Where every note remembers   The one who filled my cup in unexpected ways.   Today’s entry in the ships log Will not mention any fever-filled designs   To swim to an uncharted shoal   At breakfast in the salon   where I take my grub   I ...

Photo credit:  Scott Cain  "Red rusty land for water" Friday: Steamboat Springs, Colorado Awake at 5:45am As usual, I am up and about before any of the other people in the rental house. Also, I might have been the first one to bed. Craig always sets up the coffee pot the night before, and each morning I turn it on. It’s nice to be up and in the quiet, with fresh coffee. I do cherish these moments quiet and alone. But this morning is not a quiet one. Most of the family is soon up and about with in an hour. We are to be at the boat house for the rafting trip before 7am. So there is much commotion in the kitchen. Avery is one of the first ones up, and it does not take us long to realize that he really wants to go rafting with us. It is agreed that we will find a way to add him to the group. We make him an extra lunch, because all the lunches were pre-ordered weeks ago.   By seven am and we are all at the boat house (Bucking Rainbows). Our crew all pile into one of the bi...
