  • Castlewood Canyon

    The air is cold and the sky threatening, so we decide to head for a lower destination. Castlewood Canyon is southeast of Denver on Cherry Creek. We’re surprised at the amount of snow there, but it’s a pretty place and the sun comes out to warm us up. The rock cliffs in the canyon are…

  • Bare and Gold

    The trees around Fort Collins are pretty much bare of leaves now and must rely on the morning sunlight for their color. Dark clouds are becoming more common too. One of these mornings this driveway will greet me with some snow, I’m sure.

  • Movie: Strangers On A Train (1951)

    I had an adverse initial reaction to the hokey, contrived plot and annoying soundtrack of this film, but eventually it won me over. There’s classic Hitchcock suspense-building, and many memorable little touches. The old amusement park scenes are just great. The message here never loses that contrived feel, if anything the movie gets more wrapped…

  • Ice Swamp

    The nights are getting cold now. This morning was the first time I noticed parts of the river, just a trickle now, frozen along with the surrounding swampy areas.

  • Hay Bales

    I wonder if this hay will stay here all winter, or if it will be moved to covered area soon?

  • Movie: Schindler’s List (1993)

    I’m not sure that it’s even worth critiquing movies dealing with genocide. No matter how intense, I doubt any movie will make a person living a comfortable life know what it’s like to be corralled and slaughtered. It’s easy to condemn the perpetrators of crimes in a movie, and in history, but none of us…

  • Geo Mashup Plugin 0.2 Beta

    It looks like my plugin is going to work on at least some other systems, so I’ve added a few features, fixed some problems, written a little more documentation, and released a beta version: Geo Mashup Plugin 0.2 Beta You can play with some of the improvements on the hobomap.

  • Canadian Geese

    The geese have been arriving for a month or so, and now seem to be settling in for the winter.

  • Carol Scales the Wall

    Ann’s mom Carol surprised us by asking to try a climb at the gym! She got all harnessed and tied in, and remained remarkably cool as she made her way up her first ever climb.

  • Live Music: Janet Landreth

    I’ll never be a music critic, I’m just too amazed by nearly every performance I see. This was a CSU faculty recital that Ann, Carol (Ann’s mom), our friend Alan, and I attended after a huge dinner together. Dr. Landreth clearly put a lot of herself into the program, with readings accompanying the pieces in…
