My sister is back in town for a few more days, so we went to the Grizzly Rose, Denver’s premier line dancing venue, for a hoedown. Line dancing is a lot of fun, but for the uninitiated, is quite intimidating. Unlike most forms of casual dance, getting it wrong is quite obvious, as everyone is…

There have been two instances at this World Cup where naked greed, ambition, and ego have led to ruin. Thus far. Everyone thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever touch a football. Multiple Ballon D’Or (player of the year), medals in La Liga, Champions League, Premier League and Serie A. He’s…

My sister and I watched the Argentina v Switzerland match today at McGregor Square. Spoiler alert: Switzerland were brave, but especially after going down to 10 men, it was always going to be advantage Argentina. Sitting in the crowd, the support was rather lopsided. There were HUNDREDS of Argentinian supporters cheering on their team. Perhaps…

I’ve been writing, what I think, has been a rather interesting series on America. Sadly, life got in the way last night, and worse off, tonight as well. Rather than leaving two days without an article, I thought I’d share this particular story from way back when. In year 9, or freshman year of high…

American food has a bit of a poor reputation. People conflate it with massive portions, lots of fat, salt, and an emphasis of quantity over quality. They’re not entirely wrong; America has that reputation for a reason. But to conclude that American Food = Bad is an uninformed, ignorant take. It is also one I…

There is a young, semi-prominent public intellectual that I follow semi-loosely. I met him many years ago in Dallas while at the Incel Academy, and thought he was quite interesting. You can find more about his work HERE. It’s worth subscribing to his Substack. There is a very interesting idea that he has been working…

1759 days have elapsed between the day I first came to the USA, and today. While not all of them have spent on American soil, it has been a significant period of time. Enough time, perhaps, to make at least some semi-formed reflections. This evening, my sister and I went to watch the USA play…

Over the summer, Denver runs a City Jazz evening on Sundays. Tonight was the first time I had attended, and it was particularly pleasant. We chose a spot in the shade to combat the temp, and about 50 meters from the main stage. The combination of hot weather, warm pasta salad, cool jazz and cold…

It’s the Fourth of July. Happy birthday America! I think I’ll do a series this week on what I think about America, but today, I would like to focus on our trip to Mile High Stadium to see Ed Sheeran play. Ed, England’s most famous singer since Amy Winehouse, was a strange pick for Independence…

Last night, Vic, O, Ky and I went to the Granby Rodeo. It was a great time. For Octavia, she’s just a fan of the animals. There were lots of horses stomping around, and where we sitting had lots of sheep in a pen. That, along with jumping up and down on the bleachers, was…
