My friend Morriah invited me on a hike today and after much hemming and hawing on my part, I agreed to go. Initially we were to hike Square Top Mountain. Morriah…
Last week I took Rufus to City Park for a training stroll. It was a gorgeous Sunday so of course much of Denver showed up as well. This was ideal. I…
