Day 362: Snow Show

Day 362: Snow Show

Day 361: “You Look Like a Woolly Mammoth”

Friday was the last day before this supposedly epic snowstorm we are were set to get over the weekend, so we made sure we had all necessary supplies at the ready. I picked up a few last minute odds and ends at the store, and then headed into Denver to make an...

Day 359: The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me

Day 359: The Lovers, The Dreamers and Me

Day 354: The Whole Tooth

On Friday, I went out for a rare social/professional in-person interaction. I met a colleague and longtime friend for a cup of coffee down in Denver's Larimer Square. They've done a nice job setting up outdoor seating and closing off the street so restaurants on the...
