My tiny hometown of Walsh has been featured TWICE in recent months on NPR. If you go look-up Walsh, CO on Google Maps, you’ll see how small and isolated it is. That said, it’s a big deal when anything like being on NPR happens. I think the last time it was in any sort of [...]

My buddy Rod recently had a really bizarre and unprofessional experience with Kathryn MacGeraghty and her team at Blue Sage Realty. It sounds like a good place to avoid at all costs. You can read more about his experience here. Blue Sage Realty in Westminster Sucks! I also posted a review of Blue Sage Realty, [...]
Nightclubs Are Hell
15Aug07I just ran across a brilliant article titled “Nightclubs are hell. What’s cool or fun about a thumping, sweaty dungeon full of posing idiots?” in the Guardian Unlimited. There are many statements in there that hold true for me, but I think this is my favorite: I used to feel intimidated by people like this; [...]
I really wish I’d taken my own advice a couple of years ago and tried to sell my place to instead rent for awhile. The bubble has burst, and it’s not pretty. Stocks take a turn for the worse as investors scoff at the Fed’s decision to step in yet again, this time adding $3 [...]
An Unexpected Wii
07May07I’ve been interested in owning a Nintendo Wii for quite awhile, especially now that we have one at work and I get a chance every so often to play it. Since the weather was crappy this weekend, about the only thing Lindsey and I did on Saturday was do a little shopping, grabbed some dinner, [...]
It’s A Small World
15Apr07I’m headed back from a long weekend in Las Vegas, currently utilizing free Wifi at the McCarran Airport. Somehow I ended-up sitting directly across from someone I went to College with who I seem to always bump into in the strangest places, and someone across from me also asked if I was a Me.dium employee [...]
Shaving Like Grandpa
29Mar07I’ve been fed-up with the prices of razors and how awful my face feels after a shave for quite awhile now. I first tried to ween myself off of them a few years ago by switching to an electric razor. I’ve tried several brands of electric razors over the years including Braun, Panasonic, Norelco, Remington, [...]
Long Time, No Update
26Feb07Seems like the last month has flown by. Let’s do a quick update here… I haven’t talked to my dad specifically about the whole snow situation recently, but I have heard that the counties in SE Colorado were rejected Federal Aid by FEMA. Luckily the area has finally been getting in the press from time [...]
We Are Watching You
22Jan07My last post reminded me of an interesting factoid that I keep forgetting to mention. According to my server logs, two of the biggest fans of my Snacks On A Plane spoof are the US Department of Justice, and The Pentagon.
The same recent storm which pulverized the area I grew-up in had a completely different effect in Kansas and Nebraska. In these photos, you can see how damaging an ice storm can be. I remember having an ice storm in Colorado sometime around 1984 (I was 5 or 6) which was not early this bad, [...]
