Monday, February 12th, 2007

Winter? Don’t care for it. Spring? Those frigid Chicago springs turned me off on the concept. Summer? Awesome. The hotter the better. Walking back from the grocer yesterday I got an thought, and I’m laying out the start of that thought here. It’s a plan called…

Friday, January 12th, 2007

So Denver’s got some Chicago-style wind chills running through the streets, and I’m off to Crested Butte to go visit Mark and Ali for the weekend. We’re up against a couple winter warnings on the drive up, which could make it an adventure getting there. Hopefully not too much of an adventure.

In the past 16 days I travelled 6880 miles (more than half done in my hardy Honda Civic hatchback). This incuded a wedding, a visit with my dad’s side of the family (four separate visits), two stops […]

Denver, hey!

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006
