No photoshop skills are necessary when taking photos in Colorado. This is how clear and blue the sky typically is on a daily basis. Absolutely gorgeous.

The 40-foot high bear, which injects a welcome sense of fun and playfulness into the convention center experience, is the creation of local artist Lawrence Argent. It was installed just a few years ag... Comment - Like

This past Sunday, I decided running wasn't in the cards for me. I was motivated enough to hit the gym but not enough to put forth the running effort. So, I hopped on the rowing machine instead.
My personal take: not a great workout. I did 3,000 meters and didn't really break a sweat. My arms and sho... Comment - Like

Last week I really fell off the boat. My diet was horrible. I didn't get in any exercise. My scale was NOT nice to me this morning.
Today was back to the ole grind. I hit the gym right after work with my beau and spent 25 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes of strength training. While we were ... Comment - Like

Two of those days were spent letting my inner child run rampant around Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. I don't want to spend an entire bl... Comment - Like
