It’s the end of the July, and for us college interns that means we’re moving out of our rickety apartments during a torrential downpour into other rickety apartments a mile down the road. Despite the stress of moving, we made it through another week. It’s finally Friday. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week’s Friday […]
Summer is in full effect here in Boulder, CO. Climbers are climbing, yogis are yoga-ing, runners are running, barbequers are barbecuing — everyone is doing something!

Thank the heavens. Anyway, here are some of my favorite pieces from the week: 1. My girlfriend loves […]
Summer in Boulder, CO is a coveted thing for those of us who don’t enjoy being buried in snow and crippled by subzero temperatures for 6 months out of the year. Happy hours, BBQs & cookouts, casual strolls down Pearl St., trips to the Boulder Reservoir, concerts at Red Rocks; we do it all! My […]
I’ve always wanted to write a book. Kind of like the way some people dream about growing old working on a vineyard in Napa or Southern France. Although, like them (I’m sure), I’ve romanticized the hell out of the whole book writing thing. Could you imagine how much work that would take? How much time […]
