Pinch me – an old favorite Denver band reunites for two shows! When my sister and I first committed “Morrisey Rides a Cockhorse” to memory, we were too young & too late to ever attend a Warlock Pinchers show. So, when I heard the hype around their upcoming performances, my 13 year old most-likely-to-gain-the-approval-of-my-elders self […]

A Better Mouse Trap
Wednesday, August 4, 2010
Eek! I’ve got to get to the Maker Faire – an expo of engineering, craft, and invention – to catch The Lifesize Mousetrap in action. It’s a human sized version of the classic board game! The mousetrap creators are on kickstarter raising funds to finish their four city tour…now to develop a Rube Goldberg machine of […]
Galop Infernal
Friday, July 23, 2010
Baudy humor, burlesque behavior, moulin rouge spectacle and a theater filled with retired folk! Not ones for a “night” at the opera, Tony and I took in a matinee showing (hence the elder patrons) of Jacques Offenbach’s satirical operetta Orpheus in the Underworld at the historic Central City Opera House. There’s not a dull moment in […]
The Happy Couple
Monday, July 19, 2010
Battling out differences in a relationship can be healthy…but that doesn’t mean those lover’s scraps don’t sting. Enter a recent gift I assembled for a dear friend’s wedding. I researched the top 5 things that couples argue about and in a playfully irreverent manner developed 5 alleviators conveniently packaged in a “Relationship First Aid Kit” […]
Independence Yay!
Sunday, July 11, 2010
What better way to celebrate independence than to go urban rafting down a famously polluted river that runs through central Denver! When we did this years ago, I was ill-prepared in a pool chair made of mostly netting…going down white water rapids and getting pathogens in my pisto. This year, with the memory of back […]
Skyler as Aang…not Ahng
Monday, July 5, 2010
Saturday was family day at the movies for the much anticipated release of “The Last Airbender” a film based on the Nickelodeon animated series “Avatar.” The T.V. show – involving elements of Chinese martial arts, ancient philosophies, Asian culture, and anime whimsy – has become a Legg family favorite through the obsession of the youngest […]
White Glove Love
Tuesday, June 29, 2010
Team Firefox donned the white glove once more to celebrate the memory of Michael Jackson as part of hundreds of worldwide events commemorating the 1 year anniversary of his death. Our FlashMob fail turned into a surprise performance for the volleyball tournament players at Wash. Park. Honorary hot pink spandex awards go to Jason Blamey and […]
Alligator Pear Tree
Sunday, June 27, 2010
Back in March, Tony speared an avocado pit on three sides with corn on the cob skewers and set it in a glass of water. We pretty much forgot about it, giving it infrequent waterings with half-hearted hopes that it would develop into anything other than a moldy afterthought. Then one day, we lifted it […]

High from repetitious viewings of “Breaking Away” and eager to share the growing shapeliness of his bicycle delivery developed calves, Tony impulsively entered his first cyclist race. The City Park Criterium hosted by the Rocky Mountain Road Club was held last Sunday. Tony lasted 10 minutes (approximately 4 laps) out of a 40 min. 1.2 km […]
Double Dare
Monday, June 7, 2010
I hold no aspirations to appear on reality t.v. nor do I have delusions of game show victory, but the one program I could have seen myself on was Nickelodeon’s Double Dare – so much so that at the height of D.D.’s popularity my brothers & I developed a course in our basement complete with […]
