Turns out my car will need a Japanese Butt Lift, at least that’s what I’m calling it. The guy who hit me would need a Japanese Face Lift. 🙂 My car will need: new bumper, new mudflaps, new tire cover, new muffler, new pipe under the car for the muffler (can’t think of what it’s […]

Crunch
It only took 5 years and some change, but I once again rear-ended during a commute. The last time was in Carpenteria across from the polo fields while heading to class at UCSB (and a fellow UCSB student was driving the car that hit me). That guy was probably overjoyed that I never even called […]
Up, UP and Away – Day 2, Part 2
One of the most photographed set of mountains of the US are the Maroon Bells. I’ve wanted to visit these majestic peaks, which are near Aspen, but never wanted to make the 4-hour trek just for them. Since we were in the area I added them onto our itinerary. The plan was to visit them […]
Up, UP and Away – Day 2, Part 1
The good weather from Saturday afternoon continued into Sunday, which means — the balloon launch was a go! Look who’s in the balloon basket! Looking down at the balloon festival (I LOVE this shot!) Â Snowmass Village from a couple hundred feet up in the air! Â Even Humpty Dumpty was there! Do you see […]
Up, UP and Away – Day 1
Twitter is good for something other than getting news stories before anyone else. It’s also good for communicating with some of my favorite companies – like Chobani Greek Yogurt (@Chobani). Yum! Last week I complained about a bad cup of yogurt, on twitter, and got a response from the company. I started to follow them, […]
Rooting for Blue
Yesterday, we went to watch the Dodgers battle the Rockies. Of course we all wore Dodger Blue to make sure all the purple people eaters know we were not there for their team.  We waited until the last minute to buy tickets so we didn’t to sit in our preferred right field box. Instead […]
No More Fake
After a week of long hours and too many take away meals, we no longer have carpet in our living room. We no longer have “oak” pergo in our kitchen and sun room either. And all of the baseboards match! Plus, what self-respecting hardwood floor guy does not have hardwood flooring in his own house? […]
Productive Holiday Weekend
Long weekends are always great, but then again I’m a fan of the 5-day weekend, 2-day work week (less hours, same pay). Saturday Noah and I painted the living room. I was tired of the drab color that our house came with. We managed to knock it out in one day thanks to Gretna helping […]
Bacon!!
Seriously, who does not like bacon? And those who say they don’t lie…or are prevented for partaking due to religious beliefs. Thankfully, I have no bacon dietary restrictions in my life. Also thankfully Colorado has a Bacon Festival! Yes that’s right, a food experience devoted 100% to bacon! Today, Noah, Logan, Gretna and I headed […]
Look who’s here for the summer (and hopefully longer)!
Aunt Gretna!!! Â And, a very happy Father’s Day to Noah!
