There are four little words I never wanted to hear on my birthday.
How old are you?
No, those aren't the words. They are much more sinister.
Would you mind babysitting?
Bingo.
I should probably start with a disclaimer here. I love babysitting our nieces and nephews. It's fun to spoil them, rile them up, and then give them back to their parents. But on my birthday?
Kelly and I are privileged to live in beautiful Colorado. Scenery of intense grandeur can be found within mere miles of our home near Denver. This is a very spiritual place to live and play, as one feels you can almost reach out and touch heaven from the Colorado High Country.
This article describes our latest adventure-snatched-from-the-jaws-of-disaster involving a mountain. As you know, last year at the top of Mt. Evans, we had issues with wind, Port-o-Lets, and mountain goats. What would happen this year?
Kelly and Eric: Adventure Seekers
Kelly and I have lots of fun together. For example, our weekly date nights are sacred to us. I've lived in Greater Denver about twelve years longer than Kelly, so I am happy to plan and execute most of our adventures due to my familiarity with the local attractions. Kelly calls me her tour guide.
We are always on the lookout for a new restaurant, a new music venue, or a new place to go hiking. I'm usually prepared to the nth degree: reservations, advance tickets, driving directions, parking plan, etc. I'm happy to be the tour guide: I want Kelly to enjoy herself and not worry about logistics. I sure know how to show her a good time.
Some of the fun is even intentional.
Eric, an expert at love and relationships after having been twice married--the second marriage going strong after one whole year--thinks he has the secret to Valentine's day figured out. See if you agree.
If you have ever been part of a vocal group--and even if you haven't--you will enjoy this tongue-in-cheek look at the various personalities that make up a community of singers.

In an article sure to make graphic artists and marketing art departments everywhere cringe with dismay, Eric discusses the process he and Kelly followed to design the cover for their first book, We Met at Starbucks: A Love Story.
