Before I Die… A Community in Communion
Before I die, I want to… Driving the streets north of Downtown Denver one might turn some dodgy corners.

[...]

The Game of Having Game
It’s Friday night. The Broncos are in the playoffs and the Mile Hi City is tickled…orange. In Denver, we take our football seriously.

Forward Movement
I’m moving! Well actually, I am planning to move. Next year. That’s how long it will take me to prepare my current home as a rental, give the tenants in the other house notice, and most importantly, let my son finish eighth grade at his current school. The idea came to me this summer when [...]
But My Brother’s Wife’s Uncle’s Best Friend’s Daughter Sells Real Estate…
My friends were thrilled to be putting their home on the market. The empty nest felt expansive and overwhelming: they made their decision, rang me up and started packing up the tchotchkes in preparation for the photos. The one big downside to their downsize would be telling their other Realtor© friend they’d listed with me. [...]
