Boygenius. I saw the indie rock supergroup at Red Rocks and was bowled over. By the superb music, of course, but also by the finesse of the show—which felt as well-crafted as anything I’ll see this year (no Eras tour for me, alas)—and the hyperbolic devotion of the fan base. Enlightened, Season 2. The first … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (8/7/23)

A new deck! A finished construction project somehow makes you want to never do another big DIY project ever again and simultaneously begin brainstorming the next one. Dinosaur Ridge. Will a toddler enjoy the famous Dinosaur Ridge? Yes, if we're talking about the sandbox where the museum manager hides fake fossils for kids to find. … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (7/31/23)

Centennial Cone Park. Every time I've attempted to hike this lovely mountain park, it's been on a "bike-only" day. But no bikes during the week! A really beautiful view from up there. Prickly pears in bloom. I noticed them on this hike—and then started seeing them in neighbors' yards! A very pretty bloom. Short work … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (7/10/23)

Fourth of July weekend in the Front Range. Is quiet! It seems that an astronomical number of neighbors vamoosed for the mountains this weekend. (Must be crowded up there!) The Reflective Practitioner. A very interesting (if dated) book about how professionals think. The Resort. The ending of this Peacock show was not great...but this show … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (7/2/23)

The beach. Okay, it's not much of a beach to a transplanted East Coaster...but the shoreline of Chatfield Reservoir is about as close as I'll get to the beach experience for at least a few more weeks. Water plus sun plus sunscreen plus two toddlers laughing hysterically as they sword-fight with pool noodles. What more … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (6/26/23)

Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The 50th installment (sort of) was a little disappointing, with freezing rain most of the two days that I attended. The Nickel Creek set was a blast, though! Parenting with friends. One week, three couples, four children. It's amazing how more parents around can make parenting both easier and yet more stressful … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (6/19/23)

Filing documents. A parental leave project of mine was to finally get all of our “household documents” in order. Car titles, cat vaccination info, tax documents… It was infernally boring but oh-so-relieving to have gotten done. Family road trip. We completed our first long family drive last week. A childless couple would have taken 6.5 … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (6/12/23)

Stay True by Hua Hsu. A tragic but warm memoir about friendship and self identity. Visiting friends. Some wonderful college friends visited us for the first time in several years, and I was reminded how much I love incorporating friends into our household rhythms. Volleyball. What a fun game! Even though I’m mediocre at it, … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (6/5/23)

Family hike. We managed 0.8 miles—and our toddler walked almost 3/4 of the full distance! We wrote it down as a success and went to get rooftop margaritas to celebrate. Walks in the park. I’m enjoying long, unhurried walks in the park the past week with my four-month-old. Lots of tree and plant identification going … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (5/29/23)

Paternity leave. I’m looking, as of last Friday, at 10 weeks of no work and lots of hanging out with a 4-month old! Marketing Excellence Awards. I’m humbled, to say the least, to have received the Marketer of the Year award from SMPS Colorado last week. Leaves. It always takes longer in Colorado—but the leaves … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (5/22/23)
