Adventures of a well-rounded geek
A piece by Vance Kirkland I was lucky enough to visit the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art for the first time last weekend and definitely recommend. It's worth at least one visit, if not more. I knew very little about this museum going in, except that it featured furniture. This is the museum…

Now that the mornings and evenings are cooler, the opportunity to use the oven again presented itself. Friday night I baked a spice cake I've been craving for a few months and Saturday morning I baked cinnamon rolls because I wanted Shari to try out the recipe my mom and I have perfected every time…
Denver isn't the only place around here that has great parks. The Denver Tech Center (DTC) has a handful of green spaces that are enjoyable and pleasant. While a future post may expand on more than just one park, I only want to talk about Westlands Park for this post. The park, which is off…
Shari now knows why I like City Park Farmer's Market. Food, food, food. I took her there this past Saturday morning and we started our time there splitting the vegan biscuits and gravy from The Easy Vegan. Best vegan biscuits I've found. And best vegan gravy. So it was a score for me. The biscuits…
Last Friday I met up with some of my friends to watch a free, local, WWE style wrestling show. We attended this event in honor of Amanda's birthday. I felt excited to go because I had never attended a wrestling match before. Heck, I had never even watched one on tv. The festivities took place…
For those animals that find themselves in less than ideal conditions due to the arrogance of humans, it's places like The Wild Animal Sanctuary and Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary that rescues, rehomes, and rehabilitates them. They provide abused animals a new and better life. I've had the privilege of visiting both places years ago and…

This past weekend was truly a great weekend. Saturday morning my friend, Robyn, drove us to the City Park Farmer's Market where I got vegan breakfast at Wong Way Veg and then proceeded to eye the vegan biscuits over at The Easy Vegan (I'm really hoping they offer the meal next time I go!). Turns…
Blue Sushi. The largest selection of both vegan sushi and delicious sushi I have ever found. This is not a local establishment, it is in multiple states, but who can blame them for that? It's just so great that it deserves to be in all the places. I can't figure out where the chain originated…
Colorado has a handful of reservoirs scattered throughout the Denver metro area that are adequate substitutes for the lack of water and ocean that this state, well, lacks. We actually have lots of lakes and reservoirs across the whole state but I sadly haven't been to most of them so you'll just have to use…
