Denver Union Station
One of my favorite buildings in Denver is the old Union Station in Lodo. Today I found a new website by the Union Station Neighborhood Co. promoting the proposed build up all around the historic site.

Here are some [...]
Waking up early
When I lived in Boulder, I used to wake up really early, pre dawn, to start studying for school. Then, after the sun would come out, I would go for a run around Wonderland Lake.
There is something about waking up very early that makes me feel alive and completely happy.
In the last few months, I’ve [...]

Recently, I’m beginning to think that instead of looking for [...]
Performance Art in Denver: Opera and Ballet
Recently I’ve had an opportunity to go to both an Opera performance and a ballet performance in Denver.
The opera was Don Pasquale – here is how Opera Colorado described it:
Gaetano Donizetti’s amusing tale of deception and disguise is transported to the wild west of America in the 1800’s. This rousing version, which has toured to [...]
Getting involved in local politics
As I’ve written about it here before, I’ve been looking for a way to get involved and to learn more about politics. I’d like to learn more about how candidates bubble up to win elections and about what goes on in the “back-end” of political activities.
To start, this week I attended a so called “New [...]
