A Letter to Scott
The high arches at Union Station remind me of your time. Those high sweeping cement pilasters a monument to a different era. A time when it seemed people weren’t so uptight and bickering about everything there was to bicker about as we go about our daily lives. This was not a time in which I […]
My Defining Day
the snow is falling. this is the day. i leave the front door of our apartment. the big flakes fall and against the black SUV parked in front of the building they seem so much bigger and whiter. its so cold. the exhaust of the SUV makes a cloud. abby and I veer right and […]
Vida Colorado
A brief pause in our regularly scheduled programming: This blog is now six years old and has evolved much over this time. Luckily, unlike a six year old child (unless you are cruel), you can change a six year old blog’s name, right? So that’s what I’m doing. I’ll be brief here and not bore […]

Photographing my beautiful wife, Jenn during Death Valley’s “Superbloom” – Photo Credit: Greg Manthei Overview: What originally started as a forum for ideas of politics, religion and all things controversial (see my introduction to the blog six years ago here) has since become much more (or less?).

Good Things Come to Waiters (and Waitresses)
You’re probably familiar with the saying “good things come to those who wait,” the phrase made popular by a UK ad campaign for Guinness in the 1990’s (if you think I’m wrong about this… check Wikipedia, sucka). Well, in this vein, all of my once loyal and diligent reader(s) (thanks mom(s)!) are about to be […]
Excuses, excuses…
For those of you who religiously check for updates to my blog (thanks mom!), I have to offer an apology for what may be a lack of content for a short period of time.
