Fabulous Friday Finally Arrives in Boulder. Festivities and Family Await!

March 1st, 2024

  Cool! Ongoing Boulder Success!  We made it, and we succeeded! Were my true feelings to be expressed, I’d have way too many exclamation points in the punctuation. After almost 50 years of legal writing with perhaps not a single “!!!” or even a simple “!”  Using bold was a bold move. Italics were ok if used properly.   We motivated on Monday, kicked it on Tuesday, humped it on Wednesday,  and defined Thursday. we find ourselves having, once again, made it to another Friday. If that is not cause for a weekly celebration, I don’t know what is. I realize... Read More

October 30th, 2023

Take a breath. Exhale. Take an even deeper breath. Exhale. You just connected with every living thing past, present, and still yet to come. The very oxygen each one of us is presently breathing has been in the lungs and blood stream of every living thing that’s spent one second of life here. That same oxygen in your lungs has contributed to the life of every flower that’s ever bloomed, every tree that’s ever sprouted, every bird that’s ever flown, every fish that’s ever swam, every animal that’s ever run, and every human that’s ever entered this world.

Getting Set for BolderBoulder

May 20th, 2023

There’s a reason that every year, over 50,000 people flock to Boulder, Colorado to run 6.2 miles. It might have something to do with the fact that Boulder is an awesome city or maybe some folks enjoy a bit of fitness every once in a while… But mostly I think it’s because they know that the BolderBoulder 10k is the most fun you’ll have while running all year long! To some of you reading, 6.2 sounds like a daunting number.

Chautauqua After Snowfall

December 28th, 2022

There is something about a hike through snow covered trees that leaves you with a sense of calm. The snow absorbs all sound and animals are quiet, snuggled away in their hollows. You can only hear the crunch of snow underfoot and all feels still. Snow really is like a blanket, covering up the world to let it rest. Since the snow melts so quickly here, it is a special experience to stroll snowy paths around Boulder.  Even magical, some might say. For Boulderites, Chautauqua is a special place year around that many visit often, for some even daily. I find the park extra majestic with its frosting;... Read More

Summer is marching on and many families are trying to squeeze in a family trip before school starts.
