It is, as I type this, 2:08am in Colorado Springs. It's officially New Years Eve. It's also 22°, not counting wind chill. That's about as warm as it's going to get. Today's high is expected to be 25°, with our overnight low...

Colorado, one of my personal favorites. I lived there for 2 1/2 years. My first child was born there.
Colorado has so much to write about but I'll try to be brief.
First, Denver is the capital city and if you stand on the...

I was outside just now, where I saw the coolest view of Pikes Peak, so I thought I'd share.
Sure, there is some seriously ominous looking cloud cover, but notice the white line of clouds below the summit of the mountain? How...

It was just a few years ago that the powers that be opened the Pikes Peak Highway to cyclists.
Now, a 13-year-old has done the 12 mile climb to the top. In eight hours. On a unicycle. And he's only been riding a unicycle for...

This the view of Pikes Peak from a bus stop on the West Side of Colorado Springs about an hour ago as I write this. You'll notice that it still has snow on it.
Yet, we're in the 70's today and tomorrow, 60's for the weekend,...

That handsome fella is very famous here in the Pikes Peak region. He is Zebulon Pike, the man that discovered the mountain that bears his name.
Zebulon Pike was an explorer and military man who rose to the rank of Brigadier...

You see my really groovy mountain bike in the above photo? Well, don't look at that. See the rock formation behind it? That's Garden of the Gods, which I'll be getting to soon, but don't look at that, either. At the top of the...

Last night, I posted a discussion about our annual New Year's Eve fireworks show, with the fireworks being shot off of the summit of Pikes Peak.

Just this last Friday, we had snow and our high temperature was in the 30's. I don't function well in the cold, so I stayed in, lest I become miserable.
