My blog post, “the Interview” continues to dredge up some great memories, particularly our first day on the job at the test lab at Control Data in Arden Hills. Our crew in Denver had written software to expand the amount of memory accessible to the mainframes to the equivalent of 40mb in today's terms. Which … Continue reading Day One

The Interview
Just happened to check in on my blog to discover that two years ago today was the day I signed up at WordPress. Haven't thought of much to write about in the last few weeks... March has had some rough memories the last couple of years and my inspiration is in a bit of a … Continue reading The Interview
One Year Ago
One full year has gone by since the passing of my wife and companion of 27 years. Much has changed in that year, but much is the same. I find that I miss what we had together, especially during our years in the Denver area. I miss our home, our friends our holidays together and … Continue reading One Year Ago
The Rescue
I'm thinking I should probably put some of these stories down on the old electronic paper... John Hoss was my usual partner in crime and he has long since passed from cancer and I'm no spring chicken anymore either! I'm sure his sisters would like to hear the details of some of our adventures and … Continue reading The Rescue
Small Accomplishment
Ever since I read of the Intemann Trail last spring I have been wanting to complete the entire stretch of that trail between Manitou Springs and Cheyenne Canyon. The journey began last August when I used the part of the trail to get from Red Rock Canyon to downtown Manitou in order to pick up … Continue reading Small Accomplishment
Winter 2016
Winter is flying by and spring is nearly upon us! The holiday weeks passed by so excruciatingly slowly that I was dreading the "dead of winter" weeks and months with their extreme cold and long boring hours of darkness. But thankfully it has been an eventful and rewarding two months, starting with a discussion with … Continue reading Winter 2016

I've been turning down writing jobs right and left these days... At first they sound good, write your favorite material from home and make money! So you apply and then find out you are going to get $5 per article and you are expected to write five articles a day. I'm like, no you don't … Continue reading Concept
Alone
Alone is a funny thing, it isn't always the same. I've never had a problem with being alone, I'm at peace with myself and it is what it is. With that type of alone you can just head out into the woods and experience the comfort of nature, or you can head across the street … Continue reading Alone
Change Afoot
Well, here I am, up again at 4:00 a.m. unable to sleep for all the thoughts swirling through my mind. I am thinking this entire phase of my life is coming to and end and something completely new is afoot. I had not planned to spend another winter in this town. When Tricia passed last … Continue reading Change Afoot
Order
Sitting here at Starbuck's in Englewood passing the time until lunch and thinking about how far I've come since that fateful day last March. I am amazed at how many things had fallen into disrepair and neglect from the battle we were forced to fight against Tricia's cancer. Almost three months have gone by and … Continue reading Order
