4:20 in Boulder — A Culture That Helped Shape a Movement The clock hits 4:20 on a warm spring afternoon, and Boulder feels a little different. There’s an unmistakable energy in the air. Not loud or chaotic, but relaxed, communal, and deeply rooted in the city’s identity. While 4:20 is recognized around the world, in Boulder, it carries a deeper sense of history.

  The Boulder Greenbriar has a long history, and a long history with Debi and me.  If Baccarat bottles could speak, the history of Boulder since 1873 and of the Greenbriar are told by a decanter. As we  are again celebrating an anniversary with a dinner at the Greenbriar, this one being our 41st Anniversary, it recalls this history in the tales of the Baccarat Louis Tres (Louis XIII) crystal decanter.  The custom at the Greenbriar and elsewhere is giving the empty Baccarat  bottle to whoever finished it  At the time we thought the cognac  it to be quite expensive at about $20 an o…

For better or worse, America is a gun culture. So much so that, to some degree or another, we all come into contact with them. I don’t own a gun, but I have fired them.* I’ve also had them pointed at me a few times, which is an experience I don’t recommend. I spent a number of years working in Wilton, Connecticut, which is a little bit South of Newtown. My son was only a year younger than those first graders in that classroom, a coincidence I’ve dwelled on. It’s estimated that there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 to 500 million privately owned firearms in America. Is tha…

Longevity here isn’t about chasing 120 years. It’s about reaching your 80s and 90s with strength, mobility, and a sharp mind.
