I’m waiting for dark.” As I’ve mentioned before, Adam and rakkity and I are fans of the writers Michael Connelly and Lee Child. We’ve read them all, and we usually round robin the new book which can found in the Murder/Mystery/Mayhem aisle. As rakkity prepared to fly across the pond, I informed him that Lee’s […]
Mike, At last I’ve visited every single latte shop in Boulder, at least until another one opens up, which may happen tomorrow. Not counting the repetitions, where the owners or franchisers have more than one storefront, I’ve found 28 legitimate espresso shops in town. There are some others in libraries, bookstores or restaurants, but they […]
Diane’s an avid NetFlix subscriber. She’s on the three movie plan and is almost always satisfied with her picks. Today’s arrivals : Juno, A Mighty Heart, and Harrison’s Flowers. I always struggle with those mailers and Diane always shakes her head. “Diane, how do you open this thing?†“Honey, those are made for morons and […]
If all goes well today, tomorrow Phoenix will broadcast a real movie from Mars. –rakkity

Michael, On our way to the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, we learned that the Baptistry (adjacent to the Duomo and the Torre) has wonderful echoing acoustics. The echoes are exploited by chanting singers every half hour during the day, so I came to the Baptistry ready to record. This is a big file (85 […]
He looked like Raymond Carver, but with modern, rimless reading glasses perched on the end of his nose. His brown hair combed neatly back from his furrowed brow which looked ready for spring planting, like mine. I’d stopped in at our local auto parts store for front brake pads for the Mazda, and I carried […]
Hi Mike, It looks like you all returned from Aruba about the same time we got back to Boulder, but you don’t have any jet lag, while we do. Right now in Colorfulado it’s dinner time, but my brain and stomach are confused because it’s 2 am in Manarola, Italy. Our flights back from Sicily […]
I was happy to see Applewood’s heron had returned, and once again, as he stalked his prey, I stalked him. This first photo taken through my truck window at maybe twelve feet. As I opened my door and walked around the back of my truck the great bird flew away, down this narrow pond and […]
