The novel is no more. If the possible reason that first comes to your mind is that my co-author is no more either, you are correct. I ended my relationship with Ironman a little while back and with it, the collaboration on our novel. When we first starting seeing each other casually last May, I … Continue reading The Novel: DOA at DIA

Small Town Strikes Again
When I rejoined the single life at the beginning of last year, all the gals in my usual group, except one, were right there with me, or about to be, and that was a lot of fun. A gaggle of thirty-something women with money to burn and time to spare? Plenty of opportunity for getting … Continue reading Small Town Strikes Again
Sanctuary 2.0: Where Everybody Knows Your Name
As of today, I have officially had a downtown Boulder address for six months. Once upon a time, I lived in a city of 12 million. Now I live in a town of 100,000.

Missed Connection: Found and Relinquished
When I posted last week about things I had never done before, I deliberately omitted one experience because it deserves a post all its own. Here it is. Around 11:30 AM on February 11th, I was standing in the 15th Street post office in Boulder. I was the seventh or eighth person in line, there … Continue reading Missed Connection: Found and Relinquished
Sanctuary 2.0: I Never Thought I Would…
My recent 180 on Boulder has got me thinking about all the other things I've done in the last three months that I never thought I would. Being single gives me a lot more time to spend with the girls. In the core group I hang with, five of the six of us terminated our long term … Continue reading Sanctuary 2.0: I Never Thought I Would…
