Adventures and Misadventures in Boulder, Colorado
Last weekend, Frisco, Colorado hosted a roaring bonfire next to Lake Dillon. The Fire Department tended the blaze fueled by Christmas trees. That's one way to get rid of them! Mesmerized by the crackling fire, I found magic in silhouettes of the onlookers. When the wind changed direction, sparks flew and the crowd moved to better... Continue Reading →
Summer fun includes a wide range of activities. Some can be enjoyed at breakneck speeds while others require taking a moment to be still and take in the surrounding beauty. It's wildflower season in the high country. Summer is so fleeting at high altitudes, it's hard to find them at their peak. I went on... Continue Reading →

Lots of love up there, don't you think? I love old family photos: I love joking around and... Continue Reading →
Talk yourself out of taking risks or imagine an adventure where all the moving parts work together in perfect harmony and go for it.
Writing is a compulsion so ingrained, a pleasure so exquisite, it transfixes us.
Danny and I embrace our weirdness and dress up as Morticia and Gomez Addams every Halloween. I find it transformational when donning a wig, applying dark makeup and slipping into Morticia's character for the night. I remember the original drawings of The Addams Family created by Charles Samuel Addams. He had an interesting fascination of the macabre and drew over... Continue Reading →
