Brooke and I tied the knot in a tiny wedding ceremony in the mountains last weekend. In attendance were the two of us, our two living parents, and a couple dozen garden gnomes.

my rotator cuff surgery
A week ago I had shoulder surgery. I’ve been having issues with my left shoulder for over a year. The Story of my Long Road I don’t know what initially caused the problem. I don’t remember any accident or anything, but I remember I started having shoulder pain after workouts, starting in either late 2021… Continue reading my rotator cuff surgery
shibboleths of Colorado
I want to talk about shibboleths of Colorado. First, what’s a shibboleth? I had never heard the word until I was in my 30s, and I bet a lot of you haven’t heard it, either.

flat whites of Denver
A couple months ago I had a craving for a flat white, an espresso and milk drink that is popular in Australia and New Zealand. I’ve only visited each of those countries once, but quickly latched onto the flat white as my “go to” drink there. But many cafes in the US don’t make them,… Continue reading flat whites of Denver
espresso tonic
I’ve been on a roll of sharing cocktail recipes, but here’s something non-alcoholic. It’s an espresso tonic. I made this the easy way, after abandoning a James Hoffman video halfway through. No, I’m not going to make my own tonic syrup. Ingredients: 4 ounces tonic water – Run-of-the-mill tonic water isn’t good enough for James,… Continue reading espresso tonic
