Adventures and Misadventures in Boulder, Colorado
We're all in denial when experiencing the first sneeze. We're still feeling great. We go about our day and brush off that first little tickle in our throats. Then we notice something just isn't right. Drinking coffee doesn't snap us out of it. We wake up in a fog. With sinuses blocked, our heads feel... Continue Reading →
The Polar Vortex has affected weather patterns and has also changed migration. Geese have been spotted on the equator while Antarctic penguins could be found walking single file along northbound highways. After record snow this winter, Colorado ski areas are considering staying open until the 4th of July. They plan to close with a bang. Recent... Continue Reading →
Those without a loved one to share Valentine’s Day have more in common with the tradition of sending cards than those with a significant other. Imprisoned and alone, a nobleman sent the first card. I thought the Victorians began the tradition with their sentimental, flowery, lacy, and cupid adorned cards. I imagined a scene like... Continue Reading →

Adults over the age of 21 will be able to purchase an ounce from regulated retail stores, but publicly rolling a joint won't be tolerated inside or outside.... Continue Reading →
As I sat on the examining table with a tennis injury to my left hamstring, the nurse practitioner diagnosed a list of other problems with my body. And then it hit me right between my headlights. After gaining a bit of mileage, I have become a high maintenance vehicle. It was as if I had... Continue Reading →
Colorado gets around 300 sunny days a year and this summer could be a scorcher. After skipping springtime we have leapt into mid-July weather. Boulder is one mile high in elevation and with the altitude comes thinner and drier air. It can be a very good thing (my hair and humidity hate on each other),... Continue Reading →
