Tomorrow, Monday the 22nd, is my 42nd birthday and to launch a whole new year I have plotted out a short little 120 mile road trip that will bring me past numerous places I have been looking to visit or re-visit: Brainard Lake, Caribou Ranch Open Space, Mudd Lake, Golden...
A couple weeks back I got a neighbor. Normally I wouldn’t think twice about it, but this huge trailer was still here after a week being parked beside me. So, I figured it was a good time to meet the neighbors; Mike and Ginger. Mike is a fellow Moose and...
Oh how I love to sell things! I finally got Imelda to agree to sell off a bunch of the excess things the three of us had accumulated over the last 5 years. Even me, with my minimalist lifestyle, had more than a few things to contribute to the sale....
