A Wet and Wild Commute – Tube to Work Day!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HC5q1FbCe/ I've lived in Boulder for thirty years and have never participated in one of its most celebrated events. Boulderites are known for their green standards.

I Survived the Halloween Circus
When I read about Apex Movement’s SpookArray: A Halloween Circus Night, in the newspaper under adult themed Halloween activities, I had no idea what kind of entertainment they would provide.

The Boob Report – A Comedy of Terrors
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, all doctor appointments become a big deal especially since the drugs I’ve been on have side effects. It can be terrifying. Last week, I went to an OB/GYN appointment and a wrist and knee follow-up. I worried they all could go south, like in the Deep South of hell... Continue Reading →
