The snowstorm from the night before only left about 2 or 3 inches of snow on our truck, but the road from Ouray to Silverton was pretty treacherous. It’s a dangerous road even when conditions are perfect, but the morning after a big snowstorm was especially nerve wracking. Traffic was very light, though! And when… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 3

Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 2
Beth and I both got a somewhat better night’s rest. After packing our things and having another of Mom’s great breakfasts, we drove to Ridgeway. There, we had lunch at the True Grit, which is a restaurant decorated with pictures of John Wayne. Then, we drove up the canyon to Ouray, and found the Wiesbaden… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 2
Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 1
Today was Christmas with the family. Beth and I drove to my parents’ place near Redstone, Colorado on Saturday the 24th. My brother Kent was already there. Unfortunately, Beth had just come down with a cold a few days before and I got it on the 23rd. Last night, neither Beth nor I slept very… Continue reading Christmas Vacation 2005 – Part 1
Who is Jerry Everson?
Here’s a poser (that’s British slang I learned from Monty Python – it means a question that’s tough to answer). Who is Jerry Everson? Among all the usual Christmas and generic holiday cards we got this year from friends, family, the local handyman, etc. I got one addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. Todd Bradley”. The… Continue reading Who is Jerry Everson?
Fire
It’s Sunday morning, and here in Broomfield it’s snowy and cold. Today’s pretty much my final shopping opportunity before Christmas, so I’m planning to head down to the FlatIron Crossing mall later. But for now, I’m trying to catch up on the piles and piles of stuff accumulated on my desk and in my email… Continue reading Fire
I’m certifiable!
Beth and I spent two evenings this past week taking Red Cross CPR and first aid courses. I’ve taken them before, twice. But it’s been about 10 years since the last time, I think, and you’re supposed to do them every year to stay current. Tuesday night was CPR and we were there for about… Continue reading I’m certifiable!
Behind Bars – December 2, 2005
Behind Bars – December 2, 2005 – Very cool. Boulder’s finally got another criminal worthy of listing in The Smoking Gun. This guy was nabbed for switching bar codes on expensive items for bar codes on cheaper items. At the Boulder Target!
Let them sing it for you
Let them sing it for you This is insanely cool. Some guy in Sweden has taken pop songs and cut out individual words of dialogue, and then written a web application that pieces those words back together to “sing” text that you input. This is the sort of thing I’d love to do if I… Continue reading Let them sing it for you

I’m a realist
I was chatting with my little brother online this evening, and telling him a little about cohousing. I wrote something about neo-cons not being likely fans of cohousing. He wrote back, “I wonder if you’re a neo-con if you have to google the term when your brother mentions it.” So he looked up the definition… Continue reading I’m a realist
