All the time I lived here it was only a block away from the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge. I had passed by it a half-million times and always wondered… so today I walked through the doors, simply to ask if I could camp in their parking lot for...
My excitement has been building up over the last few weeks… knowing I get to hang out with my son, my cat, and my precious – my 1978 Datsun 280z. I checked in on the car the first day I got back into Colorado, making sure it started up… success!...
I arrived back in Colorado last night, just before 8pm by way if Interstate 70 from Utah. It was not my original plan, to drive into the state yesterday, but as I am getting accustomed too, my plans are fluid… constantly changing and in motion. I am learning to roll...
So there I was, looking at google maps at my drive back into Colorado, when I set my focus on the storage facility that my Datsun used to hibernate this winter. I was surprised to see her in the satellite photo, and at first did not believe it. Google says...
I was going to write a blog post each day, but the activities of each day tired me out too much. Instead, I am summarizing the entire week in one mega-post… After Conor’s arrival late Sunday night, we jumped right into the activities Monday morning. I first took him to...

Normally, due to my lifestyle living out of populated areas, I go years between illnesses. Ironic that after my first time visiting a public watering hole in months, I wake up the next morning with my sinuses (is that the correct spelling?) all clogged up and a deeper-than-normal voice. I...
Last night I did something I rarely do; go to a bar. I’m not much of a drinker, an not the most sociable guy, but when a musician invites you to see his show, you do not turn it down, so I played hooky from work and hit the bar...
I thought I was going to sit around and do nothing all day, but an open invitation to go on a hike with another guy here at the Lazy Lizard gave me the right excuse to get off my ass and do something. It helped that the hike was up...
My time here was up at the end of this past weekend, but when it came down to it, I just couldn’t think of another place to go that beat out the Lazy Lizard. It doesn’t help that I am waiting for Conor to arrive next week and I do...
