We’ve never taken a real road trip, and after two months of sitting around, we decided to tough it out and head across the country. San Diego agreed to open their beaches for walking and surfing, and we couldn’t resist. We make the sixteen hour drive from our home in Denver to La Jolla Shores,…

Gil on Audible
After numerous requests, I finally decided to release Gil on Audible. It is now in production and should be completed within six weeks. As soon as it is finished, Audible should upload the production and then it will be ready for a listen. I’ll keep posting any updates. There are so many parallels with Gil’s…
Eliud Kipchoge’s Two Hour Marathon in Vienna
I was taking a bike tour of Vienna when our tour guide suggested we take a bit of detour. We soon found ourselves riding along a barricaded path. Signs were posted all over, and kilometer markers were set every kilometer. Our guide informed us that Kipchoge was going to try to break the two hour…
Marathon du Médoc
I’ve run races from Aspen to Rio de Janiero, but never had an experience like the Medoc Marathon. It’s kind of like the Bolder Boulder, but on steroids. And, you run through about twenty wineries while all dressed in costumes. This year the theme was superheroes, and there were some pretty awesome costumes. …
Crystal Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park
Last week I completed by fourth hike in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer. I decided to try the Crystal Lakes. I’ve been to Lawn Lake before, but never tacked on the next two miles to get to Crystal. Being only two weeks away from my marathon, I figured I’d be in good enough shape…
Hutcheson Lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park

This was likely because Pear Lake is seven miles from the Finch Lake trail head, and then the Hutcheson Lakes are three more miles from there. Plus, there isn’t a trail. Since I needed to long training day for…
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park
Every year I take several long day trips to various lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park. While I’ve backpacked in the past, I’m not a big fan of packing a ton of gear in eight to ten miles, then living off bad food. Plus, getting a backcountry permit and bear containers are a real pain.…
BRUW – Cold Brew Coffee on Shark Tank
I, along with most of the Sharks, was impressed with the presentation by Max Feber on his new product for cold brewing coffee. Here is the link to his website showing his product. The one question I had was whether one of the larger coffee companies could merely copy his idea when they saw it. …

Gil Featured in Lone Tree Magazine
Last night my wife Robin came into my office. She was holding out the local Lone Tree magazine. “Looks like you made the paper,” she said. I hadn’t been arrested or received any speeding tickets, so I was wondering what I’d done. She tossed the magazine onto my desk, “It’s for Gil,” she said. I’d…
