Sunday Morning in Denver’s LoDo
I’m sitting with Darlene and Deb at a wobbly sidewalk Starbucks table at Larimer Square. This is a good spot for admiring Chalk Art Festival makers and lookers. Lots of digital media is being made here this morning. All of … Continue reading

Sunday Morning in Casper, Wyoming
Two thousand miles from Harvard Square, I’m having coffee this morning at a Starbucks in Casper, Wyoming. When I lived here, the very idea of a Starbucks was enough to provoke strong opinions pro and con. Now there are three … Continue reading

Sunday Morning in Harvard Square
It’s a gray, chilly day so far in Harvard Square. I was surprised to find a free table at Darwin’s Ltd., our neighborhood’s classic independent coffee shop with attitude. The frosted lemon scone is delicious, and the dark-roast coffee is … Continue reading
Dog Daze
Claire is sick. She threw up and had diarrhea last night, turning our bedroom into a poop-a-rama of bad smells. Darlene did the heavy lifting in cleaning up the mess. My only contribution was to tie up the trash bag … Continue reading

Off-Season Interlude at Ocean Park

Take Me Out to the Theatre…
We had an evening of opening nights last night here in downtown Denver. After dinner at the new Ocean Prime on their second evening of being open to the public, we walked down 15th Street to see “The Catch” on … Continue reading
The Joy of Politics, Colorado Style
This week Darlene and I celebrated the inauguration of Colorado’s new governor, John W. Hickenlooper. We stood in single-digits cold on Tuesday morning for the swearing in on the west steps of the State Capitol. We chowed down at the … Continue reading
How I Learned to Love Sleep
I have always resented sleep. What a waste of time. I’ve never been an insomniac, exactly, because when I finally gave in at night and went to bed, I’d fall asleep quickly. But when I’d wake up at 3 a.m. … Continue reading
