It’s winter, right?
When I talk to people outside of Colorado, the assumption is that it’s cold and snowy here all winter long. Up in the mountains, yeah, it’s cold and snowy. On the Front Range, uh, not so much. It was 69 …
Teaching old dogs new tricks
Slowly but surely I’m figuring out this blog thing. Never thought I’d be learning html, but hey, it’ll keep my mind young. Got the links up, that’s an accomplishment. Still trying to figure out how to respond to comments via …
