Despite the writers strike, we’ve been enjoying great television lately. There are a few shows we genuinely miss, especially “The Office.” However, I have no problem with the writers wanting more money – if it weren’t for writers there would be no stories and without stories all television would be bad reality t.v.!!! But not all reality t.v. will rot your brain. Here are two programs I
Snowshoeing in Colorado. Photo taken in 2006 near Fairplay, Colorado. I know it’s not officially winter, but it sure looks like it outside my window. Earlier today, we took Xena and walked over to the coffee shop. It’s a winter wonderland and it’s cold! The sun is not shining and it looks like it might dump more snow on us at any time. I say, LET
Loveland, Colorado The snow is falling today and I’m feeling a bit more festive. I guess since it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, I’m going to have to face that it ’tis the season.

They’ve never lost when I’ve been at a
Happy Birthday to the love of my life.
Happy Halloween & Happy Birthday Dad!! I hope you get to relax a little.
We have had a tremendously busy week and I haven’t gotten around to writing my reviews yet. We did manage to squeeze in a movie this week (Into the Wild) which just happens to be a favorite book of mine. Sean Penn directed the movie and I think he did a pretty good job at staying on target with the book (by Jon Kraukauer). We are off
Dust off those classics ~ they deserve another chance In this fast pace world of cell phone, Ipods and virus videos it is easy to forget about classics. You know the classics; those books collecting dust on your bookshelf, behind the best-sellers you bought because Oprah liked it or because you liked the attractively decorated cover. I want to share two of my favorite books, they both
