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…
In the hopes that 2021 is going to bring about a more normal life for the world, I've decided to bring back What I like Wednesday: Colorado Edition. Each Wednesday I will showcase something about Colorado that I have enjoyed and loved in the past. It will be my way of saying, "I hope I…

This past weekend I went to Shari's parents' house with her to bake cookies. They have a yearly tradition of baking a gigantic amount of cookies that they then make into platters and give out to friends, family, and coworkers.

Oh my goodness! BookBar and DCPA teamed up to turn Bite Size, the micro theatre production I went to way back in October 2018, into a book - Bite Size - An Anthology of Micro Theatre. All of the plays from the production are included, with an additional five plays that were lovely, but weren't…

We walked in the cool evening as the sun set and lit up the clouds in a most spectacular way. I imagine that a good part of yesterday's beautiful sunset was due to the persistent fires across…
The colder weather may finally be here. I know I said I was ready for it last month, but I'm maybe not quite as ready as I thought I was. With the colder weather comes a colder apartment, which means my fingers are cold and I don't love cold fingers. I have a rice sock…
I started this post two days ago but just haven't had the time to finish it or post it, so, third time's a charm. Here we go! Pippin spent all day at the vet's on Thursday so he could have his teeth cleaned and 7 teeth removed. I had taken him to the vet for…
Yesterday, Elisabeth, Shari, and I completed The Lost Book of Astrid Lee scavenger hunt. ... Well, okay, technically, we completed it last week, but we didn't know that because the end was lackluster and not clear. I appreciate all the time and effort that went into creating this event and I enjoyed it and really…
On Wednesday, I went over to Shari's place to make dinner. She had found a vegan alfredo sauce recipe she wanted to try and you know I was game for it since the one "afredo" recipe Elisabeth and I had made was not worth making again (it was a hummus base and just came out…
