Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Now, I may not be into dirty humor or crass humor or humor at the expense of a person's feelings, but I do still enjoy laughing. Who doesn't right? Thankfully, Denver attracts a handful of comedians that make me giggle and guffaw so hard that I have to take deep breaths in between jokes. I…

I drove down to spend time with my family this weekend. I went down Saturday morning so Elisabeth wouldn't have to watch Pippin and to try to avoid traffic. I caught up with my parents for a couple of hours before Kaitlin brought over Emily and Ollie. We played for a bit where Emily gave…
City Park As the weather continues to warm, you know it's highly likely you'll find me at one park or another throughout the state. We have so many, and they're all pretty great, that I enjoy making my way around a handful of them. Today I want to highlight my favorite Denver parks: Washington Park:…

I ordered Legos for myself. After watching Lego Masters: Australia and enjoying that show so much and feeling inspired by the creativity and teamwork of the groups, and building my own Captain America (thanks, Shari) and triceratops (thanks, parents), how could I not purchase a basic kit for myself? I decided some of my April…
How do I even start this blog post? I've only been to the Clyfford Still Museum once and I fell in love with it instantly. The museum, designed specifically for Clyfford Still's art, is open and bright. It holds 95 percent of Still's works including photos and letters. That's over 3,000 works. Because they have…

Ace, Eat, Serve Once or twice a year, Denver restaurants put on Restaurant Week. The main event usually happens in February I believe, but this year you can experience the event from April 23 - May 2, 2021. For $25, $35, or $45 per person depending on the restaurant, you can eat food from restaurants…
