Catching up: I live in Denver now!



I have been meaning to post for so long, and working (in occasional feverish, well-intentioned yet doomed bursts) on the next entry, that I was very surprised recently to look at my blog and realize that the last time I posted was almost 6 months ago.

The short version of the story is that I moved to Denver.  The medium version of the story is that I decided to try out Denver for the summer, and liked it so well that I am still here, and have moved at least enough of my warm clothes here to make it through the winter.  I guess the long version is something we'll have to hash out in person.  Want to meet for drinks?  I know the perfect place.

My previous attempts to sum up my Denver experience so far have been way too wordy.  I think what I'll try to do instead is mention a few things I'm enjoying so far and illustrate it with some of the pictures I've been taking.

I love being near the mountains again.

Denver has lots of cool little unique sub-communities.  More info here.

Public transportation is always nice... so is public art.

The arts are indeed alive and well here.

Returning from a recent trip to California, the pilot announced the weather over the intercom:  "It's 75 and sunny in Denver.  Welcome to Paradise!"  I laughed to myself.  He doesn't realize we've just escaped Paradise!  Or maybe the joke's on me...

  1. So pleased to see you back online. Well, I guess you were always on FB, but I never am. So glad you are still singing! Wow, you've almost sold ME on Denver, and I happen to know that it snows there. . . lots.

  2. I love Denver too. Who knows, I might settle out there one day myself. =)
