Art, culture, travel and adventure in Northern Colorado.
Last year I completely missed my local Comic Con due to travel, so this year I marked it on the calendar early. (I have been to one Comic Con event; this is the group which organizes the Kessel Run race in order to raise money for the local library!) The Fort Collins Comic Con takes […]

Sometimes I believe in magic. When I was debating my next tattoo I was torn between two options: a Russian nesting doll, or a piece of flash. (My artist Cambria has designed all of my tattoos based on my ideas, but she also has her own ideas and designs, “flash.” As someone who basically wants […]

If you ask someone if they want to try something new, you’ll find there are two types of people in the world: the maybe-next-times and the I-thought-you’d-never-asks.

Above: Danny and his partner Russ. I know Danny from Cincinnati, but we’ve gotten to know each other better since we both moved to Colorado within a month of each other. Danny’s out in Boulder now, but he and Russ were visiting Fort Collins and had time for dinner at Restaurant 415. Dan and I […]

Last summer, Linda and Tony took a group bike tour through Belgium and the Netherlands through a locally-based travel company, ExperiencePlus. Linda and Tony loved the tour and the company, and recently invited Dan and me to join a 25-mile group ride across Fort Collins that ExperiencePlus was organizing.

When Dan and I decided to move, the best decision we made wasn’t in choosing Fort Collins, or even Colorado in general. The best decision we made was moving three doors down from Linda and Tony.
