Charmed by Snakes at The Denver Museum of Nature and Science
February 7, 2012 – 7:00 am | 7 Comments

There’s a zoo at The Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
But it’s not lunchtime in the atrium or the parking lot on a free day. 60 creepy, slithery, and totally fascinating creatures have been collected into one fun-filled new exhibit called Lizards and Snakes. Recently, our family spent an evening getting to know the critters [...]

When Arms Are Empty: A Pregnancy Loss Primer
April 29, 2008 – 12:47 am | No Comment

Every pregnancy ends.
Ideally, a pregnancy ends with an ice-chip-fueled marathon of contracting, pushing, or with the flash of a scalpel in an operating room. A bundled baby with goopy eyes and a little hat is placed into welcoming arms, at last. Cameras capture, footprints are rocked onto scrapbook paper, a name is given. When [...]

Every neighborhood has ‘em.
You know: the one white-trash family that just oozes with socially unacceptable behavior such as loud music, big engines, cold beer and jacked-up trucks.
I just didn’t know “they” were “us.”
It all started out innocently when I took the kids for an early-morning run at this time last year. Since the temperatures were [...]
