Let’s talk about that delicate dance between good cheer and good judgment. The holidays bring out the best in us: warmth, music, lights, friends, and the clink of glasses. They also bring out a classic seasonal combo that has been tempting fate for generations. Entertainment and alcohol mix easily. Add a touch of cannabis to the blend, and suddenly New Year’s Eve earns its nickname of amateur's night all over again. The risks are real, and the good news is that they’re almost entirely avoidable with a little planning and a bit of Lensworth-style common sense. Start with the drinks we te…

Today's Pic of the Day is the Moth Orchid. The genus name is derived from the Greek words phalaina (moth) and opsis (like), as the flowers resemble moths in flight. These orchids are popular houseplants because they are relatively easy to grow indoors. Their blooms are known for being long-lasting, often for months with proper care. Phalaenopsis orchids are native to tropical and subtropical Asia and northeast Australia. They prefer bright, indirect light and require a special orchid growing medium rather than standard potting soil. The orchid in the image is a Phalaenopsis orc…

Are there bobcats in Boulder, Colorado? The answer is a confident yes. Bobcats (Lynx rufus) are part of the natural ecosystem that surrounds the city, thriving in the foothills, canyons, and open-space areas that stretch across Boulder County. These beautiful, elusive animals have adapted exceptionally well to the rugged terrain that defines Boulder’s western edge. Colorado wildlife experts consistently note that bobcats are most abundant in habitats featuring rock formations, shrubland, brushy slopes, and quiet stretches of land — all of which are plentiful around Boulder. Local wildli…

There are teachers whose work lives at the surface of the body—muscles, poses, adjustments—and then there are teachers like Kali, whose teaching drops you into the marrow of your own existence. Kali teaches at the intersection of yoga, Internal Family Systems therapy, Buddhism, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. What she values most is something rare in the wellness world: self-energy. Not the personality. Not the occupation. Not the roles or the body or the relational identity. Self-energy as the uncontrived, unwavering center inside each person. When she speaks about self-energy, she des…

Commonly called a "fern wall," the bank of clouds behind the foothills is actually a "Foehn" wall. The name Foehn (German: Föhn, pronounced [ˈføːn]) arose in the Alpine region. Originating from Latin (ventus) favonius, a mild west wind of which Favonius was the Roman personification When winds blow over elevated terrain, air forced upwards expands and cools due to the decrease in pressure with height. Since colder air can hold less water vapor, moisture condenses to form clouds and precipitates as rain or snow on the mountain's upwind slopes. The change of state from vapor to liquid water …

Boulder, Colorado might be known for its sunshine and outdoor adventure, but when the weather cools and comfort calls, the city’s soup scene rises to the top. From international flavors to nourishing broths, Boulder offers an impressive mix of spots where a warm bowl becomes the highlight of the day. Zoe Ma Ma on Pearl Street remains one of Boulder’s most beloved destinations for homestyle Chinese comfort food, and their soups are a big part of why. Their Taiwanese beef noodle soup continues to earn five-star reviews thanks to its rich broth, tender beef, and perfectly chewy noodles. Th…

Today’s Dog of the Day is Goldie, the wide-eyed, tongue-out adventurer who has made one of Boulder’s iconic peaks her personal playground. In this photo, Goldie stands propped proudly at the summit, her golden coat catching the Colorado sun, her stance steady and confident as she looks across a landscape that stretches from the Flatirons to the far-off ridgelines. It’s the kind of image that instantly tells you: this dog lives for the climb. Goldie isn’t just visiting a trail — she’s connected to it. Boulder’s peaks have a way of bringing out the best in humans, …

Lensworth here.Some stories announce themselves the moment you see the expression on the protagonist’s face. This one belonged to a very wet, very unimpressed European starling who had just been plucked from an accidental dip in a hot tub. If ever a bird mastered the art of the glare, this little survivor had it down cold. Most birds rescued from mishaps arrive looking confused, relieved, or soggy-but-grateful. Not this one. This starling radiated pure indignation. Soaked feathers slicked tight against its tiny frame, beak slightly open in what could only be described as a verbal complaint …

Winter sunrises often look shockingly colorful – especially those intense reds glowing against the cold blue of a brightening sky – because several winter-specific conditions line up perfectly to paint the sky more dramatically than at other times of year. That's all fine, but WHY is it so??? Why winter sunrises explode with color: Lower sun angleIn winter the sun rises at a much shallower angle. Its light travels through more of the atmosphere before reaching your eyes. The longer the path, the more blue light gets scattered out, leaving behind deeper reds, pinks, and oranges. Cold, dr…

After a wild football weekend in which Indiana upset Ohio State, Georgia dominated Alabama, and Duke toppled Virginia, the College Football Playoffs seemed relatively set. The Hoosiers (13-0) were certain to be the number one seed, while Ohio State (12-1), Georgia (12-1), Texas Tech (12-1), Oregon (11-1), Ole Miss (11-1), Texas A&M (11-1), and Oklahoma (10-2) all seemed relatively safe. That’s when things got a little complicated. With just four spots available and confusing rules that allow high-ranked conference champions a spot, 20th-ranked Tulane (11-2) and 24th-ranked James…
