Across the street from where I work is a nondescript building with boarded up windows and a heavy-looking door with deadbolt locks and giant padlocks. It’s a grow house, a place where they grow mj legally for the Colorado retail and...
I live in Colorado. We have legalized marijuana. When I tell people I live in Colorado, I tend to get a lot of jokes about the mj. Sigh. I want to go on the record – I don’t partake. Never have. Pretty certain I never will*. Also...
I love it when the weather changes and I can drive with the windows down. We’re almost there. I’ve done it a couple of times now. The fresh air coming in is cleansing. Spring has sprung, but it’s still too cold in Colorado to...
I had such a great time last year that, once again, I will be attending MileHiCon at the Hyatt Regency in Denver’s Tech Center over the weekend. Lot’s of stuff going on at the con, including Author Guests of Honor Seanan McGuire and...
A lot of folks on Twitter, Facebook and via email, have been asking if I’m okay and whether the fires are anywhere near me, so I thought a post was in order. First up – thanks to everyone who has been concerned. The short answer is...

When you get up into the mountains, eventually, you’ll have to go. If you’re in the park system, they provide toilets here and there for you. Usually, they are a toilet above a hole in the ground, but they have 3 walls and a door...
If you’re driving around in the Rocky Mountains on a warm day when the snow is melting fast, you will probably come across a random waterfall or 2 in your travels. I was lucky enough to find this one on a recent trip up Guanella Pass...
