Adventures of a well-rounded geek
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…
Yesterday morning Elisabeth and I ate breakfast at Snooze. It's a popular breakfast chain here in Denver and while I've lived here for going on EIGHT years (gasp), I had yet to visit. Honestly, I had thought the love for the restaurant was all just hype and I had no interest in waiting for an…
I haven't been sleeping very well this past week so when I awoke this morning to the realization that I had slept great, I knew the weekend would be wonderful. Add onto that a lack of side effects from my platelet treatment and the fact that I exercised, I was feeling ecstatic by 8am. And…
Yesterday I started my morning with kix cereal, orange juice, and the Hygge book Kaitlin let me borrow. I sat out on the balcony while the air was still cool and I flipped through the book, marking which challenges I wanted to try. I made my list and have added a page to this blog…
Elisabeth and I got to see Andrea Bocelli in concert Friday evening. The Colorado Symphony accompanied him as well as two guest singers and a violinist. I had such a wonderful time. It took me a few songs to really get into it but then I was into it and loved every following minute. Most…
My life has been fairly interesting and busy lately. Two weeks ago I went to Grand Lake on a family vacation. I loved getting to spend time with my family - two of my cousins even came. I went hiking and kayaking, played games and watched movies, and ate lots of food. I even made…
This morning I held a reddit brunch meetup at The English Tea Cup, a British restaurant and store. Although only Josh and Brittany (my two closest friends from reddit) showed up it was still a fun experience. I ordered the cucumber sandwich and potato leek soup. Both were pretty tasty, but especially the soup. We…
This morning I went to the dentist for my biannual cleaning. I was given a referral to an oral surgeon to get my one wisdom tooth out. I had been hoping to avoid that but now that I think about it, my jaw has been a bit...off lately, so perhaps my wisdom tooth is the…
Gene and I went out to brunch today with our friends. They had invited us out for Valentine's about two weeks ago and I said yes. We ate at Shells and Sauce, a place close to downtown Denver. That place was fantastic. I got some kind of breakfast skillet with sausage, potatoes, eggs, and peppers.…
