Before I go any further, I just have to say it is amazing not having to commute hundreds of miles per week in order to do morning radio AND live where I love! I know I-25 a lot better than I planned on way back when, but that's okay. It's been a fun journey. I live with my amazing wife and three grade-school-age girls, and we have as much fun as we can get away with camping, snowboarding, gardening, riding bikes to downtown for food & drinks, going to concerts, sitting by the fire pit, listening to something out of the record collection, or working on a house or garage project. We have two dogs, a lab and a husky, who we take out for exercise every day so they don't drive us nuts – and a funny gray tabby cat, whom I have had since before anyone mentioned above. I watch next to no TV, but when I do, it’s usually reruns that I find dependably funny, like Curb Your Enthusiasm, Chapelle’s Show, or a killer movie like Super Troopers, Harold & Kumar, Cheech and Chong, Scary Movie, or something else I discovered back when I had no kids and lots of time to watch TV! Nowadays, there’s oftentimes something like Fixer Uppers playing in the background while I work on refinishing one of the rooms of our house. It’s hard to explain ‘why’ I do what I do on the X. I guess it’s just something that helps complete me and makes my day go a lot better after I hit the door at 10, largely because I hope it does yours, too.

13-Year-Old CO Pinball Champ
Congratulations to Escher Lefkoff, winning at the Professional & Amateur Pinball Association World Championship! Yes, such a thing exists. It has to, for guys like Escher, who has played pinball since he was two! Opportunity has been kind to him that way, since he had a barn practically full of pinball machines as a kid. ...
Find The Easter Egg Hunts
I would like to have listed this sooner, but this information has done a great job of eluding me for the past week, until now. So here goes!
Before passing on the list, I'll tell you the Easter egg hunt my family & I have enjoyed since my twins were born, and we lived in Wellington, which we did for years:

What Was The Most Popular Slang Term The Year You Were Born?
Well, if I remember right, mine was... Oh, wait a minute. None of us remembers these. But chances are, our parents would!
At the risk of revealing my age (which I don't care about much anyway,) the ones that stand out most to me are "Phat," "Not...
Here’s The Old Town Arrest Video That’s Gone Viral
This is something we'll be hearing about for awhile.
We're told Saturday in Old Town, an argument between two guys was escalating quickly at Bondi Beach Bar, the bouncer, and Fort Collins Police, got involved. Then, a 22-year-old woman, who was one of the guys' girlfriends, obstructed, shoulder-tapping the bouncer and a police officer...
The Fort Collins Subway Hoax of 1982
Because, when you're studying history, you want to believe a cool story like this!
With all the hype about fake news lately, we are all reminded to check our sources before treating a news story as real. So, I'm not sure this would've gone over as well in 2017 as it did over 30 years ago...
Here’s Why The Boys & Girls Club In Fort Collins Is Amazing
Because my wife and I have overlapping schedules, we have dealt with Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County now for about a year. Impressed and grateful only begins to describe my feelings on this organization.
We found out about it because my three girls, ages 8, 8, & 6, go to Olander Elementary, and that's who told us there is bussing from there to B&GC every weekday after school. All .
Do You Have A Colorado Accent?
I worked in a call center a long time ago, and every now & then I'd talk to someone in Connecticut (or somewhere thereabouts) who would tell me I have a "western accent." I wasn't sure how to respond. Later on, I took a radio move to Vermont, where I was not only told I have this "Midwestern 'nice' thing going on," (okay, I just try not to be a jerk,) but also that I enun
Is This the Most Underrated Hot Spring in Colorado?
I really want to check out Pagosa Springs, and no, not because clothing is optional, that’s one of those things that at first sounds like, “Ooh, yeah,” but if you go there, it might not be the most pleasant thing in the world. To each his own...
