The outside entrance to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.

Today’s items have a theme: we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (DMNS) yesterday! And the kids showed me their favorite exhibits.

Night sky with clearly visible stars and a campsite below with many tents lit internally.

I am one of those people who sleeps in a routine way. Here’s my pattern: start off on right side, roll to stomach, end up on left side. I can’t do that now.

Picture of one f-hole in a stringed instrument, likely a cello.

We were invited to a cello recital, performed by a friend of our children. I’m not usually one for string recitals but this was exceptional.

An up close shot of a bluetooth speaker on a granite countertop.

I love music. I love speakers. I love listening to music on decent to great headphones and I love listening in a public environment when appropriate.

CRT Television sitting on a road in a neighborhood at night.

I started messing around with HTML roughly around 1996. I was in college and a friend from high school had started a website. She had the keys!

Graffiti on wood.

I’m grateful to have found some people in my life-life and work-life who can engage in conversations at a level other than surface. Highly recommended.

Surfboards of all a rainbow of colors leaning against a fence with trees and a house in the background.

The high temperature today did not leave the teens. I was not expecting this. Every time I stepped outside today I was cold for the following 30 minutes.

Garageband, podcasts, jingles, naps…this one has it all! And I dedicate these words to anyone who is trying to create something. Keep going.

We still get excited with each snowfall. Even the little ones. It’s just. so. pretty. And this year, it seems to be snowing more frequently. Delightful!

I am just like you and also different in lots of ways but still so similar. I have hopes and dreams and reality often tries to sidetrack those things. So I am pushing against what is normal (to me) and doing my best to teach my kids and each other how to pursue what excites us and makes us come alive. The world needs more people living, not just existing.
