Steampunk Originally uploaded by dalcher Delightfully, yesterday I received the following comment from Ms. Victoria Westley-Smythe: I do hope you’ll forgive the somewhat random nature of this comment, but I do believe you encountered an associate of mine at the Botanic Gardens. There was a whole group of us dressed up in full steampunk regalia. […]

This morning, Tasha and I were up bright and early to go to the Denver Botanic Gardens for their free day.  It was really cool, they have a Japanese Garden that had a koi pond and also a Jurassic Garden that was planted with all sorts of plants that had prehistoric origins.  It was something […]

It’s the end of a long week, so we decided to have some fun tonight!  Tasha and I are hosting a Beatles Rock Band night and having a few couples over from work to have fun with us!  It’ll be a barbecue too, so I get to grill.  I might recommend that we start a […]

I had no blog topic for tonight, so I turned to the lowest form of generating ideas: a random generator.  After a few button presses, it popped out with “Hiking near me” so that’s what I’ll talk about.

My work day started as I arrived at the office around 6:50 am.  A long day of at best passable, at worst aggravating meetings led me to an after-work dinner with my coworkers and management.  I took a brief break prior to dinner to purchase a Fender Blues Junior amp on Ebay for around half […]

In other news, we elected to […]

Today was our monthly chiropractor appointment.  I had been noticing for awhile that I was losing flexibility in my lower back when doing toe touches and hurdler’s stretch.  He did my normal adjustments, checking my lower back muscles closely.  He said that wasn’t really the case and wanted to check my hip flexors.  He put […]

Tasha and I were spending a lazy night at home, when my phone rang.  It was a buddy from work, Rick.  I had been talking to him earlier in the day about Beatles Rock Band, and he seemed interested.  “Hey, I was wondering if you needed a third for Rock Band?” he said.  Well sure […]

I was recently approached by a buddy at the office, Paul B.  He’s practiced several martial arts over the years, but primarily in a derivative of tang su do.  I was talking up the positive experience I’ve had at the Arvada dojo and he approached me about doing some cross training with him because he […]
