I love my new apartment and while I am still unpacking everything, I already feel right at home. It feels good to have made the right decision at this point in my life, and I look forward to discovering all that Denver has to offer. So while I finish going through all my “stuff”, [...]
Only 20 more days until I move! I have packed everything I can pack in advance, and am now just waiting to do the rest when the date gets closer. Very excited to move to my new city and looking forward to discovering all that it has to offer. (ps – If you are a [...]
For reasons that I will write about in an upcoming post, I am packing up to move…again. This will be the 3rd move in the last 1.5 years and I am not looking forward to it. I will, of course, hire some guys to do the heavy lifting for me, but I despise the [...]
And by Colorado Rockies, I mean the baseball team, not the mountain range. While living in New Mexico is/has been fun, there is one thing I truly miss – and that’s professional sports. See, NM doesn’t have a SINGLE professional sports team, and I have never lived somewhere where I couldn’t get a ticket to [...]
As I was assembling this post this morning, I was sitting on my couch watching the sun rise, smelling the smoke from all the wood being burnt overnight, and enjoying a cup of organic french press coffee. It was perfect. Sometimes, even though our lives don’t allow us to experience them, it really is [...]
I get up around 6am every morning, feed the cat, make the coffee, and then sit outside for a few minutes with said coffee to enjoy the quiet. However, while only 2 weeks ago I could go out in a short sleeve shirt, I now need to put on a sweatshirt as it has been [...]
While every weekend could be a long weekend for me if I so wanted them to be (ah, self-employment), this one is special because I have friends coming into town to celebrate Labor Day. Hope you guys all have something nice planned for this 3 day weekend! I just want to start off this [...]

Friday night I watched the movie I Love You, Man for the second time when it arrived in the mail from Netflix. I really enjoyed it in the theatre, and I REALLY enjoyed it at home where I could laugh as loud as I wanted to. If you haven’t seen it, I do recommend you [...]
I only have a minute – I gotta go and put everything I value above the 5 foot level! As I write this on Friday, I have friends coming into town for the weekend with two small children, which should be an adventure. So while I walk around trying to figure out whats dangerous [...]
Yesterday, I spent 6 hours doing yard work at my house. The ragweed had taken over my lawn while I was on vacation, so I came back to what looked like a patch of rainforest in South America – and it took me that long to try to pull all of it out and ready [...]
Hope you all had a great 4th of July! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am going on a road trip back east for a few weeks to see some family, some old friends, and to just take some time off from working. I will still be publishing some articles while I [...]
This weekend I am getting some visitors – a friend from high school (and his girlfriend) who I have not seen for about 6-7 years. They are passing through New Mexico on their way to their new home in Los Angeles and are stopping by for a night (should I charge them a room [...]

This year, I am playing adult co-ed soccer, and I fully expect to end up in the hospital. It has been years since I have played, and although I played varsity in high school, it was a long, long time ago. So wish me luck this week as I have 2 games 2 nights in [...]
