This weeks challenge is Illumination. Top Left. Taken in the Tokyo Subway. Bottom Left. Taken at Cheeseman … Continue reading »
After being here a week in Japan…. I feel it an appropriate time to begin reminiscing about what we have left behind. As such, and beginning a new teaching gig here… I wanted to say a few words about my time at Target in Glendale, Colorado. What started as a ” just gimme a job” … Continue reading »
Momma and Frank came to visit our not so snow covered city last week. We all hopped in a rented Tahoe and headed for the mountains in Winter Park. As most of us are very novice winter activity people, we rented gear and headed up the bunny slopes for a few hours of fun, and … Continue reading »

We have been attempting to discover some night life here in Denver and in August we went to the infamous 1-up Bar and Red Square. Both are pretty unique places that you should get to when in town.

Definitely not known for its amazing food…which it was not, the 15 year old cliff diver, dancing gorilla in costume, mariachi band and famous gun show were just a few of … Continue reading »
