Adventures of a well-rounded geek
In honor of Shari and I dating for 6 months, we ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at the park on Thursday. I told Shari I would celebrate 6 months and then year marks after that. So we made ourselves some sandwiches and brought out some tasty onion chips and chopped strawberries and sat at…
It's time I spotlight something a bit farther outside Denver than I've yet to do. There are places outside of the Denver area and its surrounding cities that deserve highlights too. There are places like Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs - a free park featuring beautiful red rocks and hiking trails. You can…

Sometimes, you gotta eat dessert first. And when those days come (or when you're hankering for something sweet at any time), Denver and Aurora have you covered. Sugar Bakeshop: Bakery off of Broadway near downtown. They have the best smore's cookie I have ever tasted. It's one of my all time favorite cookies and I…
This weekend was packed with happenings. Saturday I got my hair cut, dropped off stuff for the thrift store, and went on a walk at Bible Park with Shari. The day turned out to be sunnier and slightly warmer than I had anticipated so I picked up sushi for me and Shari and instead of…

I did not get a snow day today. It snowed a bunch of inches yesterday (yes, "a bunch" is a scientific term ;)) and I did not get a snow day. Being an adult, working from home, and being salary can have its downfalls it turns out. There's few of them, to be fair, but…
Instead of visiting my family in Colorado Springs this weekend like I had planned, because a good portion of snow was predicted, I stayed at home. I had taken a half day on Friday so I could spend more time with my family but since I didn't visit them, I used that time instead to…
As I write this, I continue to check the weather forecast to try to guess how much snow Denver is going to get this weekend and I reminisce of another March a few years ago now where I went to a Denver library (Schlessman to be specific) to cross stitch. The library had taught me…

My Sunday was basically as rad as my Saturday was. In the afternoon, Shari, Elisabeth, and I went on a walk at Westlands Park, a park in DTC that Shari was familiar with. I loved getting to wander around a new park I had never been to or heard of before. Thanks Shari for introducing…
