Jess and I have a new favorite restaurant in our neighborhood, called Encore. It opened a few months ago in the now renovated Lowenstein Theater, right next to the aforementioned Tattered Cover book store. The service is always great, the atmosphere is fun and the food is delicious (and comes fast). I only wish I [...]

Funding for Youth Programs
I met with the Grant Writer of ACC today for lunch to discuss various foundation and corporate funding opportunities. There are a lot of grant making organizations out there and the first challenge is to find them and once they are found, to match the funding mandates of the organization to an aspect of what [...]
How do you dance?
A few weeks after I met my future wife for the first time, she invited me to go to tango lessons together with her friends. There is a Tango Club at CU, and they organize classes every Friday night. It was during those Friday nights that I completely fell head over heels in love with [...]
Tattered Cover Book Store
I spent another evening at the Tattered Cover Book Store on Colfax tonight. I love visiting book stores in general and Tattered Cover is as good as it gets. And just a few minutes ago while browsing their website to make a link to for this post, I noticed that they have their own MySpace [...]
Study Habits and More Commitments
In the post below, I described how with some effort I might be able to become a CEBS this year. Here is a tentative schedule I will follow. This schedule is tentative because I am not sure I will be able to follow it: I am getting married in August, and work is busy as [...]
CEBS and CLU
It’s been almost 3 years since I graduated from college and I feel like I haven’t stopped learning new things, nor has the pace slowed down since leaving the ivory towers of Boulder. Now I’ll have even more opportunities to advance my education. The company I work for rewards (with cash) employees who pursue and [...]
Hank Brown
I saw Hank Brown today at the Denver County GOP breakfast. I’ve never seen him in person before despite the fact that I was a student at CU while he was the president there. He completely looks his part – he looks like a senator – and therefore when he speaks you can’t help but [...]
Whembley: picture soon after birth
I was going through old emails and found this picture of Whembley as a baby: Born 5:30 am – Birth Weight: 12 oz – Weight at Day 4 1/2: 1 lb 4 1/4 oz Awwwww… Whembley’s grown up so fast!
Where is the art in your life?
I’ve been looking for an opportunity to somehow be engaged with the Denver arts community, if such a community in fact exists. But beyond going to the Denver Art Museum, the Denver MCA and the occasional First Friday on Santa Fe I haven’t really done much. Recently, I’m beginning to think that instead of looking [...]
Informational Interviews
While I was still in college, I went to listen to a panel of speakers, organized by my university’s career services department, to discuss “Informational Interviews.” After that panel, I went to an informational interview with one of the panelists and ended up meeting 4 people, I would have never met otherwise. Here is one [...]
