Your Wish is Knowles’ Command: The Typewriting Genie

Jolene first caught my attention at Denver’s First Friday Art Walk and again at an electronic show, The Polish Ambassador.  She was beautiful, unique and rare.  I could tell the man behind her was in love with her just by the way he looked at her, and ever so delicately touched her.  When asked, he...

Kirkland Museum: A Treasure Chest of Late 19th and 20th Century Art

After a recent happy hour conversation in which my friend suggested that I check out some “cool furniture” down the street at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, I decided I would go for it, having no idea what to expect.  I traded in a few hours of my sunny Thursday morning and was...

A Masshole in Colorado (Wicked Rad)

For those of you who don’t know the term Masshole: it’s a combination of the words Massachusetts and Asshole.  You know, the kind of people who tailgate you until you switch lanes, throw out the birdie if you cut them off, but have no hesitation in cutting you off, can’t complete a sentence without a...
