Why do people sit parked in their vehicles with the engine running and the windows completely closed on a gorgeous evening? Why not open the windows? Turn the car off?

Valentine’s Day massacre – sponsored by the NRA
Last night’s run took me along a route I don’t often get to experience on foot. I had plans to meet a friend down at Nine-Pin for Fin’s pop up, (and knew that stretching my legs before my upcoming flight would be beneficial), so I decided a downhill run to the Warehouse District would check … Continue reading Valentine’s Day massacre – sponsored by the NRA

I sacrificed my linen closet in favor of a larger, jetted tub which is located below the room's window. Since I would never want to offend my neighbors with nudity, I covered … Continue reading Window dressing

While many of us have no issue with doing a couple of laps, or even walking a few blocks from our car to our destination, there are quite a few people who absolutely will not venture … Continue reading Paradise might be a parking lot
