Denver’s Milk Market
A few months ago, a day trip to Denver with Linda took us by the Dairy Block. This block in LoDo is full of adorable design moments, from the giant 3-D “spilled milk” image to its alley of milk bottle lights and unique public art. At the time, Linda and I enjoyed rambling through the […]
The Longmont pizza jaunt
Here’s an easy Friend Test for you: ask if they’d like to drive an hour each way to try a new pizza place. If the answer is a resounding “Yes!,” great news, your friends are awesome. If the answer is, “Oh, Babette’s Artisan Breads? I’ve read that they’ve moved from Denver to Longmont and their […]
Breckenridge International Snow Sculpture Championships
Each year, the ski town of Breckenridge hosts the International Ice Sculpture Championships, during which 16 teams carve 20-ton blocks of snow into artwork. Dan and I are in town for unrelated reasons (theater, as you might have guessed) but lucked out on the date and had a chance to see the final IISC creations. […]
Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Arts
I’m two for two on girls’-day-out trips to Denver art museums: first Dior with Anali, then the Kirkland with Linda. The Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Arts is named for Vance Kirkland, artist behind these incredible dot paintings: (Hi Linda!) One of the most fascinating elements of this museum is how they picked up […]
These are a few of my favorite things
I made out like a bandit at Christmas! Because I love reading what my friends have received, I am sharing a few of my favorites (and in case you’re wondering, I don’t make a nickel off of sharing these): Field Notes Almost every year, I find a few of these tucked in my stocking. Field […]
Garden of Lights
Finally, my hunt is over. Dan and I have visited a few local Christmas light shows and none of them have cut the mustard. I won’t name names, but we have been underwhelmed by two or three of the area’s most popular light displays. Luckily, we happened across Garden of Lights at The Gardens on […]
Today’s my Yetiversary
About a year ago, I gave away a bookcase. The neighbors who adopted the bookcase invited me to visit their gym. I shrugged, said my maybes — but with the forthright style I’ve come to think of as their own, Linda and Tony asked, “How about Tuesday at 12:30?” I was adrift a year ago, […]
On Rower, on Lifter, on Baker, on Blitzen
It’s not that I’ve taken a break from blogging so much as I’ve taken a break from… leaving the house. In early November, Dan and I flew home to Cincinnati to see family for the holidays. In the 3 weeks since then, our lives have been fairly quiet — relatively speaking. Here are a few […]
One year in Colorado: what a weekend looks like these days
Somehow, one full year has passed since we arrived in Fort Collins, Colorado. I have been trying to imagine how I might describe the way our lives have changed in this past year, but to encapsulate it all seems impossible. Instead I have decided to lay out the anatomy of our weekend, a snapshot of […]
Red Truck Beer
Recently at our gym, the coach asked us all to name our favorite sport or activity. My friend Linda declared her favorite to be riding bikes to breweries. This week we saddled up to try out Red Truck Beer, a new location for the Canadian-based brewery. Pros for Red Truck: The beautiful, airy venue and […]
