When it was announced last night that John Lynch had left the Broncos to ‘explore his options’ elsewhere, I was not a happy camper.
In terms of talent/playing time, I’m not sure how much the Broncos lost here. There are 4 safeties on the team that can all play, hit, and cover. So John’s [...]

Wednesday, July 16
Think I finally got all the junk off my website. It was that stupid cybercafe in Porec.
Plus…I think I’m sick. Fever. Sweating. Coughing. Not good.

Feel better. Good enough to get out and eat and see some sites. I’ll pack tomorrow and leave on Saturday.

Tuesday, July 15
Conference is over. I now head to Budapest with my brother-in-law for a few days of down time before I head back to the States. The last 8 days have been hectic, insightful, and humbling. And I’ve got an 8 hour van ride in front of me to chew on [...]

Hancock Disappoints
July 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments
For a season, Will Smith couldn’t miss with movies. Call him Mr. 4th of July, Mr. Blockbuster, whatever. When Will Smith does a movie, it will have an edge and be worth going to see.
To be fair, it’s not that Hancock is a bad movie…it’s just not a great one. [...]

Last full day at Porec and conference. Tomorrow we’ll load up and I’ll drive the 8 hours to Budapest with my brother-in-law.
Morning excursion we did motor boats. I use that term loosely. It technically had a mechanical engine of the sorts on the back of it…all 8 horses [...]

On the docket was sailboating and parasailing. Both got cancelled due to the high winds. Instead we beat the snot out of each other on paddle boats in the middle of the Adriatic Sea. The hotel next to us had this cool little water play set…that big mountain in the middle is about [...]

Saturday Hike: Roxborough
July 27th, 2008 · No Comments
Steve “Purk” (of July 4th hike fame) is training for climbing Mt. Bierstadt this August. It’s one of Colorado’s famed “14′ers.” In fact, we are going to try to bag 2 in one day - Bierstadt and Evans. They are two of the more “friendlier” 14′ers plus we’ll have a guy who has done it [...]

Friday Hike: Hidden Mesa Open Space
July 27th, 2008 · No Comments
With Cayden in half-day Kindergarten and me off - Amy and I headed to Hidden Mesa Open Space. We’re pretty fortunate. We have the best metro hiking venues within minutes of the house. We headed to the top, a little over 3 mile hike roundtrip.

The Dark Knight Was
July 24th, 2008 · 5 Comments
Toby, Shaun and I headed to The Dark Knight this afternoon.
Two and half hours later we just sat there. Finally one of us exhaled.
“That….was….sick.”
In the first movie, Nolan took us on a character development ride as to what makes Batman/Bruce Wayne tick. This time around he just takes us on a ride…a very disturbing ride.
