Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Denver likes its crafters just as much as its geeks - and I'm not talking about the craft beer enthusiasts. Although, Denver loves those people too, I just can't speak on that. Wait! Yes I can! Grandma's House has the perfect for some combination of cross stitching and beer every Sunday afternoon. They call it…

Shari and I walked around Sloan's Lake for the first time this past weekend. I've lived here for 9 years and had never been. I've driven by it, sure, but for some reason I had never taken the time to specifically visit and walk the park. I had been missing out. A 2.5 mile sidewalk…
Summer is in full swing here in Colorado. The gloomy days have finally passed, I think, which makes me feel both happy and sad. Happy because it means more sun and heat and those lovely puffy white clouds I adore. But also sad because it means hot nights and the apartment's AC is old and…

What a wonderful weekend I had. Saturday I met my friend, Meseret, at Thai Pot Cafe, a delicious Thai restaurant you would miss if you didn't know it was there.

Pippin mid yawn The past couple of weeks have been almost non stop for me and so there's been little time to write a post. I write these mainly for myself anyway, so I can go back in the future and see what I got up to over the years, so it's not a huge…
Denver does such a great job of providing unique interactive opportunities that I wanted to list a few here for this week's post. My friend, Kayla, discovered the Lost Book of Astrid Lee in September 2020 that the History of Colorado Museum put together. And while she was in Oregon and wasn't able to participate,…

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…
