On A Limb with Claudia

Michael Myers is a Bronco defensive tackle and a middle child of seven.  (HIGH FIVE MICHAEL!)  In today’s Denver Post, he is quoted as saying:
“I’m the interior guy who’s more like the quiet storm.  You don’t see me and you don’t hear me, but I’m doing the work.  A quiet storm.”
Happy New Years!  May all [...]

Last night, we decided to head out into the snow. We walked to our local Mexican eatery around 6 p.m.

We were waited on by Paul, who served us a Margaritas and dinner.

We walked home in the Blizzard.

Our street looked like:

And D. shoveled snow.

This morning the view from the window is:

And it’s still snowing.

It’s another blizzard. It started snowing at noon and is not expected to stop snowing until Saturday night. Current predictions? 2 feet on top of at least 2 feet from last week. Businesses are closing today for the rest of the year.
Here’s the view from my window:

You can’t see the snow that [...]

All of my life, I have had an obsession with fountain tip pens. I love the texture, the ink stain on my finger, the way ink looks. I love ink bottles and the swirl of ink inside.
Of course, I was instructed to hate fountain tips. They are too expensive, too messy, impractical, [...]

I realize that you have been waiting impatiently for the latest report.  But, frankly, I was snowed in for 3 days.  Here’s the latest:
2 free drinks (RedBreast my favorite).
2 “I have see your ID”.
1 “WOW, you look really good” after seeing my ID.
1 “You have soulful eyes” but that was from my little sister
and may [...]

Pretty boy is talking to me, but I’m not listening. The DJ is playing Romeo Void (”I might like you better….“) and I’m singing along in my head. My mind suddenly clicks in…
“It’s all over his body,” Pretty boy says and looks at me.
“Who’s body?” I ask.
“His,” Pretty Boy says and points out [...]

When God dropped 3 or 4 feet of snow on your house, what would you do?
This blonde went cross country skiing.

Here’s a veiw of Downtown Denver and the mountains from City Park Golf Course.

Here’s another view of the mountains.

I hope you are making fun out of your life’s dilemmas. If not, maybe it’s time to [...]

My new series, “Da Boys”, has generated quite a bit of conversation in my social group.  Most importantly, there were a few inaccuracies in the “He’s what?” post.   I must clear up or never hear the end of it.

Pimp Boy is called Pimp Boy because he is a rock promoter.  I know quite a few [...]

For the second day in a row, it’s still snowing here.
Here’s the veiw from the porch of our 1907 Craftsman (yes, as in Sears) porch.  That’s Rosie:

This is what it looks like down the street:

This is what the backyard looks like - the bees are completely covered in snow - don’t worry though, they vibrate [...]

I realized recently that some of my opinions about how relationships work come from songs from the 1980s.  Anything, Anything by Dramarama is a good example.
Ok what is it tonight
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong
Do you wanna eat
Do you wanna sleep
Do you wanna shout
Just settle down, settle down, settle down
Well I’ll give [...]
