Art, culture, travel and adventure in Northern Colorado.
When Dan and I first visited Vail in June, I posted pictures (shocker!). My friend Isaac, who works for the New York Philharmonic, commented to tell me that the orchestra would be performing in Vail in July as part of the town’s Bravo! Vail programming. That was all I needed to hear. Dan and I […]

When I lived in Cincinnati, my friends all knew that if they wanted to spend time with me during the Cincinnati Fringe Festival their best bet would be to join me for a show. When my schedule would allow, I would catch roughly 30 shows during the Festival’s two-week run; it is very difficult to […]

The past two weeks have been full of transition and change after my beloved CrossFit gym shuttered its doors. Our coach was hired on at a much larger gym nearby, so most of the old gym’s members have migrated to Miramont North to follow him. It has been an enormous change, moving from Yeti Cave […]

One such organization is the (deep breath) Cache de Poudre River National Heritage Area, and the Poudre Heritage Alliance (PHA) which serves it. A few times per […]

Before we’d even moved to Colorado, I started following the goings-on at Lighthouse Writers Workshop. Based in Denver, Lighthouse brings in phenomenal writers of diverse backgrounds for workshops and seminars all year long. I daydreamed that I would spend scads of time at Lighthouse once we lived in Colorado, but the realities of living 90 […]

I know a lot of people who don’t care for road trips, but Dan and I prefer to drive anywhere we can. Trust me, we are not immune to the exhaustion that comes from long hours on the road — in fact, as I sit here writing this, half an hour after this very road […]
