No laptop My bag felt light yesterday morning. I didn’t think much of it until I got to the station and realised why: my laptop was still at home. For a moment, I considered going back. Twenty minutes home, a couple of minutes to grab it, then perhaps another thirty to get back to the station. I’d lose an hour,...
My daughter collected her GCSEs yesterday and, having successfully achieved the requisite grades for her choice of course, is going to college* in September. This isn’t really my news to share, so I don’t want to get into the nitty gritty about grades and courses and choices (funny how I used to blog everything and...

Prairiewolf - Summer 2026We didn’t play live nearly as much as last summer, but Prairiewolf’s 2026 gigs around Boulder County over the past couple months have been extremely fun — we’re bringing Zone Poems to the chosen few! And hey we’ve got one more summer show coming up a week from today. On Friday, August 28 at...
Democratic decision-making puts the power of a choice into the hands of a larger group of people. Instead of having one person (or a few people) call the shots, the whole group gets to decide the best way forward. The group takes more time to ensure that everyone is up to speed on the problem. They discuss possible...
In times of turmoil, where is our caped crusader to save the day? Heroes are good, villains are bad, and real life people are a whole lot more complicated. Author Suyi Davies Okungbowa examines this idea further, showing how people, while sometimes heroic, also contain multitudes and aren’t just one thing. Follow...
