While in Cincinnati this past weekend, I went down to the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics that took place at Newport on the Levee. Kim’s family was out supporting the cause, along with two of her brothers who raised money and actually jumped into the frigid pool of water. Although Kim’s brother Jason is […]

This past weekend was the best powder days we have seen so far this year. We headed up to the slopes early on Saturday morning with our friend Tracey who was visiting from Chicago. After a rather sketchy drive over Vail Pass we eventually made it over to Beaver Creek. There we met up with […]

Less than one month after I started putting some serious effort into the basement, I’d like to provide a quick update and some photos. I removed most of the old framing, except for a section that seems to be solidly anchored, which I’m now considering keeping. I then started leveling the floor and sealing up […]

Also while in Cincinnati I helped (or supervised) the annual hanging of the star on my parents house. My dad and I made the star many years ago for a cub scout project and it is still in fairly good shape after being outside every winter since. We used to put out a ton of […]

I have multiple different plans drawn up in SketchUp, but prior to this day had done very little actual work toward achieving my goal. Well that has changed, and I’m posting these pictures to force myself […]

After no trick-or-treaters showed up last year, we opted to skip it this year and instead head out ourselves. No, we didn’t go door to door, we headed to a bar down the road to see SoundRabbit play. It was a great time, and we ended up staying much later than originally planned. Some friends […]

Sunday morning we went down to Civic Center Park in downtown Denver for the Obama rally. The “doors” opened at 10am, and we arrived before 11 to find thousands of people already there. There were many different speakers before Obama arrived to address the crowd estimated at well over 100,000 people. Multiple streets were closed […]

Saturday afternoon we went out to Red Rocks for the Red Bull Soapbox Race. The pits opened at 10am, and the races started at noon. We had wanted to get there before race time, but didn’t get out there until shortly after it started. However, we ran into all sorts of problems getting in. As […]
