She said “living life should be our passion” As I thought about those simple words, I thought, yes, so brilliantly stated and so true. Simple things like making chili on cold days, making turkey dressing on turkey day, making long dog walk a ritual, cooking salmon to a perfect temp, making  Caesar salads par excellence, making music, making love, and hearing two wine glasses make a clinking sound as they touch while two sit close together on barstools...all things and more that rhyme without a scheme and end with the words...my passions. Not just a bad way to live life, but perhaps the most important and only way to live life.

A rancher who takes these precautions can have good sleep nights rather than sleepless nights.  However, the Valentine’s week of February 11-20, 2021, was anything but no...
