Denver does a great job at providing a plethora of nerdy events for the geek within us all. Below are my favorite events that happen throughout the year, I'll have to do another post later about the geeky shops that are here every day. DiNK: Denver Independent Comics & Art Expo. Generally happens every spring…

What I like Wednesday: Breakfast Joints
Colorado, as anywhere I imagine, loves their brunch restaurants. And while I'm not a huge fan of pancakes (they're great on occasion but I can't handle them every day) and I don't eat eggs anymore, there are still a couple of breakfast joints that I can, and definitely want to, recommend in Denver: Denver Biscuit…
What I like Wednesday: Denver Botanic Gardens
In the hopes that 2021 is going to bring about a more normal life for the world, I've decided to bring back What I like Wednesday: Colorado Edition. Each Wednesday I will showcase something about Colorado that I have enjoyed and loved in the past. It will be my way of saying, "I hope I…

12-23-20 My Weekend
This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers. When Shari told me that they make between 100 and 200 dozen cookies in a…
12-7-20 Christmasy weekend!
Christmas lights, baked goods, music, a Christmas tree, and movies filled my weekend. Shari and I went to the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield on Saturday evening where we wandered around the grounds looking at all the Christmas lights. Shari had never been to this botanic gardens before and I had never been for their holiday…

Wow, it's been a month since I wrote anything. I haven't been feeling it. I don't know why. Covid probably has a good deal to do with my lack of desire to write. Everything is shutting down again and even if it wasn't, we've had some really cold days that would have prevented me from…

My week was thrown off course on Thursday when I got the news that Colt, my parents' dog, had died after a large dog bit him and tore open his chest. That was not news I was expecting to get Thursday afternoon and it really shook me and shocked me. I ended up taking the…
10-20-20 Walks
I wandered a pretty neighborhood yesterday with my friend, Meseret, since she's sticking around Denver for a while. We walked in the cool evening as the sun set and lit up the clouds in a most spectacular way. I imagine that a good part of yesterday's beautiful sunset was due to the persistent fires across…
10-19-20 Meetups & dinosaurs
Yesterday started off with Shari coming over to make breakfast with me and Elisabeth. Elisabeth, if you didn't know, makes her own homemade chai. It's pretty awesome, not only the fact that she makes her own, but she makes it well and it tastes good. I've actually had a couple of sips. She told Shari…

The colder weather may finally be here. I know I said I was ready for it last month, but I'm maybe not quite as ready as I thought I was. With the colder weather comes a colder apartment, which means my fingers are cold and I don't love cold fingers. I have a rice sock…
