Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Want to soak in some hot water while your eyes wander around a gorgeous view of the mountains? Colorado is lucky enough to have a variety of hot springs accessible to the general public. I've only been to two during my time here but the fact that we even have two options (let alone the…

Shari, Elisabeth, and I took a mini vacation this weekend to Marble, Colorado, a tiny town about 30 minutes south of Glenwood Springs. We got up Friday morning and grabbed some Voodoo Donuts for our breakfast because it was our vacation and we wanted to treat ourselves. Then we drove over to Idaho Springs to…
Shari and I took a mini vacation this past Thursday to today. I had told her I wanted to get out of town and so we set plans and then made the 2 1/2 hour drive to our cozy airbnb in Laramie, WY where we promptly relaxed. I had been trying to hold off taking…
I took a long weekend last weekend to go visit an old coworker, Brenda, in Grand Junction. She had moved over there last year, shortly after we both got laid off from our jobs. I was going to visit her back in the summer, but covid was rampant at the time and I didn't feel…
Last week was something. Just a mix of emotions, really. My friend, Kayla, moved to Oregon. The day finally came when she packed the last of her belongings, put her plants and her cats in her car, and said goodbye. I don't know when I'll see her again in person. That thought is strange, it…
Last Wednesday, the housemates and I made our way to Victoria, BC for part one of our vacation. It involved flying to Seattle over an hour late, rushing to grab Lydia's car from our dear friend, Doug, driving to the ferry, taking the two hour boat ride into Sidney, BC, and driving another 30 minutes…
Landed in Denver at 11:30pm last night, got home at 12:30am. My vacation to the Pacific Northwest is at an end. I am tired and happy to be home. I'll write up the highlights of the trip in the following couple of days, today was a day of unpacking, laundry, and rest. My dad was…
We have made it to our airbnb in Victoria, BC! Took a plane, a car, and a ferry to get here but we got here. Our plane took off over an hour late but thankfully we still got to the ferry in time, partly in thanks to our awesome friend, Doug, who met us at…
We drove back home from Moab on Friday but not before we stopped at Jailhouse Cafe to eat breakfast. I had seen they had ginger pancakes and thought Gene might want to try them. Plus, it was yet another restaurant less than a block away from our motel. So we got up and were early…
On our second full day in Moab, Gene and I went on a river rafting trip. I had never been before and Gene had only gone as a child so we figured we should give it a go. We hopped on a bus with 80 other rafters and drove 45 minutes, through the scenic route…
