Hypotheticals || Questions for the day
How many Eggo Waffles, are too many Eggo Waffles?
I’m asking for a friend. Of course. (Disregard the ice cream containers. Just…move along.)
Do eggs have an expiration date?
If yes, what happens if you use eggs past the expiration date?
After reading these questions, how many of you would accept a dinner invitation from me?
I’m an expert waffle toaster.

The jungle motif || Result of weekend arts
I walked into the pottery house to retrieve our masterpieces last Friday.
The woman who owns the place (I’m almost positive she’s the co-owner), rooted around the shelves for the two creations. Upon seeing Emily’s (the mug in the left photo), she exclaimed, “Wow, this is lovely!”
When she saw my finished product, the vase…crickets.

Questions, answers, the plan || The Colorado Campaign
Do you ever run across a phrase or expression that you use in every day conversation, but when met with the task of spelling it out you realize you have no idea how to do so?
This happens to me more than I’d like to admit.
For instance, this one: “Hear, hear.”
I had a moment this morning when no variation of this phrase looked correct and it seemed the only way to determine the answer was to call the creepy Watson robot of Jeopardy fame and ask him: “Hear, hear or Here, here?”
“Hear, hear,” seems strange. Like a call intended to alert you to my auditory abilities. “I hear you! I hear you!”
“Here, here,” is equally strange. Like a grade school, playground cry of, “Pick me, pick me!” Or: “I’m here, notice me – here! Here!” Though that interpretation might be more of my middle child syndrome rearing its ugly head.
It happens.
The point is, instead of living in confusion any longer, I did what people do and Googled it.
Hear, hear is an expression used as a short repeated form of hear him, hear him. It represents a listener’s agreement with the point being made by a speaker. (source)
So there you go. Let the confusion be conquered.
The larger point is, this little grammar lesson has nothing to do with the purpose of this post.
Sorry to put you through this.
Last week I invited you all to join me in a new, collaborative project I’ve termed, “The Colorado Campaign.” In just a few days, response has been outstanding. You guys and your enthusiasm is inspiring.

Denver City, the Rocky Mountain Empire || The Colorado Campaign
This post is to announce my intention to run for political office.
Do you believe me?
Do you believe anything I say on here?
No?
You guys are too smart for me.
So no, this post is not to alert you to any political aspirations I might have. (Because I have none.) It is however to ask you to join me on a new project. A campaign in-and-of itself.
