Denver
Hello from Denver. I’ve been out here for a week, for the first time in a dozen years, and… it’s weird. Weird doesn’t start to explain it. So I lived in Denver from 2007-2008. Made a few work visits back in 08, and I think I came out maybe two more times for Rockies games.…

Targeted Nostalgia
Two unrelated things that aren’t have thrown me into a fit of nostalgia today: baseball and Target. It was the last game of the season today, and despite the fact that the Rockies had a catastrophic time this year, I forced myself to listen, to take the pain and punishment of hearing them fail miserably.…

Back at sea level
(Actually I think my elevation is something like 13 feet, but I don’t really know how to check.) I made it back from my short trip to Denver yesterday afternoon. We had a great time with no major hassles, other than Denver’s horribly mismanaged airport security line, and a couple of pouty four-pawed felines who…

Hello from 5280 feet
Hello from Denver, my former home and now a great vacation spot for me to get my baseball fix once a year. We got into town Thursday night, saw the Rockies beat the Brewers last night, and will go tonight and sit right behind home plate for game two of the series. We also took…

Weekend with Bernie (the Brewer)
Last night I booked the big annual pilgrimage to Denver to catch some Rockies baseball at Coors Field. We’ll be going August 12-15th, to catch two of the games in the series against the Brewers, which should be awesome. We’re staying at the Warwick again, which was a pretty decent place, although it’s a little…

The Internal Locus
I’ve spent all morning picking away at some automatic writing that has to do with 2008, which is always weird. I mean, it’s weird to write nostalgic writing about a period that’s two years ago, and it’s more weird to talk about it here, when you can just click on a link about three inches…

One mile high
Hello from Denver. It’s a cool 66 degrees at a one-mile altitude, but it’s expected to jump to 90 by lunch. But right now, I’m at the pool on the roof of the Warwick hotel, looking out at the skyscrapers of downtown, and suffering from a very severe case of Deja Vu, and a minor…

Denver car time machine
I’ve been meaning to update for a while, but everything other than my stuff has taken over lately. Hopefully, I will just work on my book and catch up today. I also get to drive to Torrance today, which sounds like a pain in the ass, and I guess it is, but I very rarely…

2200 Market postscript
This is all very weird. I’m sitting in a hotel room about a mile west of our apartment in Denver, after a long day of, well, weirdness. I left LAX with a temp of 75 out, flew over the ocean and saw my apartment before we did the big arc to the east and headed…

The Sopranos were not the dream of an autistic kid in a coma
The ocean isn’t two miles away, as I previously thought. I went for a walk yesterday, heading west, and up this huge hill. At the top of it were all strangely shaped houses of the sort you’d only see on a shoreline, with impossibly-sized windows and turrets and none of the right angles you find…
