I have been wondering if I made the right choice; choosing some extra cash over my freedom for the summer. It certainly is not feeling like the right choice, but I can’t fight it that the extra cash has been coming in handy. The biggest problem is the lack of...
Each year the ColoRODans (get it?) have cruise nights in downtown Longmont. People line the streets with the lawn chairs from 3rd Street to 23rd Street to watch, or take part in, the 3-mile long cruise. I was no exception, choosing to head down to my favorite watering hole to...
Conor dropped by yesterday to go for a hike together. Moose was also to come. The plan was to re-visit the Hall Ranch trail system which we have not one in some time, but as we pulled up to the parking lot we had two problems; 1) it was full,...

It’s been cold the past few days. Colorado cold – down in the teens with a constant threat of flakes. The naked trees hold a fine layer of frost each morning which quickly burns away as the sun climbs higher into the sky. The cold does not stop you from...
First things first… Tim and Imelda are OK (and I am 1000 miles away). So far, no water has intruded into their lives any more than getting a few days off work and school. I spent much of the evening talking with them on Skype, going over plans of what...
Mike invited me to go up to a biker bar (Jerry D’s in Dacono, CO) where he was to play some music with the local musicians. Normally I am not much of a bar-scene kinda guy, and I would certainly be out of place in a biker bar, but I...
