It is typically rare that I have either my camera or my phone with me when I take Toby out for his walks in the park next to our apartment building. Not enough pockets to juggle a photo-taking device, my building keys, pooperscooper bags, AND the dawg himself! Last Friday, though, I DID have my phone…

Meanwhile…Hey Look, More Street Art!
The signs of imminent change are beginning to sprout forth, in several different ways. There are emerging blank spots in our apartment, where things used to be but are now all packed up. THAT will become ever more the case, starting this weekend, now that we have the Massive Pile of Boxes at our disposal. …
A Week’s Miscellany
Last night, I found myself sitting in a meeting room among a group of people with whom I was employed, but that I do not actually know. The meeting table was an ovular streamlined design, the walls half cherry wood, half exposed brick. It was at once professional, and artsy. We were, from what I gathered,…
Poets Row
Eleven days ago or so, I proclaimed that I would soon purposefully reroute myself during one of my many roamings in order to walk up Sherman St. The purpose of this was to revisit Poets Row and the Arkhamesque-looking apartment building. True to my word, I actually did, not too long after I said I…
Staring Down, Missing Up
I shuffled along the sidewalk yesterday, early on a bitter-cold winter morning, eagerly seeking the sanctuary of dry stretches of sidewalk. On the dry stretches, I lifted my head and stared around and breathed in the crisp air (which resulted in a frozen nose), but more often I found myself tiptoeing along through those slick…
Monkey Squirrels and Flying Cars
This just in! Fowl Squirrel Strikes Again! Except this morning, instead of being a majestic bird, he was a monkey instead. No joke – the little guy was swinging in the tree branches. I had my own miniature, one-squirrel, circus this morning. Oddly enough, after my avian disappointment yesterday morning, I actually did see a…
Walking in a Winter Wasteland
I am, at present, barricaded in my office. Outside my window is a world of freeze and white moosh, the skies a bleak grey-white speared through with spindly tree branches. It is cold out, and the snow is still coming down. It astonished me to see that the Denver Winter Storm was not only a local…
Alley Art
Humans, by nature, walk through life with a compulsion to leave their mark on the world. It’s inherent in our makeup, whether one is shooting for a Nobel Prize as a result of something Big, or whether it’s the creation of a child to carry on one’s genes, or the seeking-out of fame. Sometimes, though,…
Still Meandering
Wow, it is a very eye-droopin’, hazy-faced, sleepy sort of afternoon. It is a bad sign, when I bust out the coffee cup at 3:00 p.m. I try not to do that too often, makes it hard to unwind in the evenings. However, I have two more hours of work to survive…and I have a…
