A beautiful day to roll through Denver neighborhoods, visit Observatory Park and Place Bridge Academy, an innovative school for newly arrived immigrants run by the Denver Public Schools, before taking Tom in for a major service.
Like Seattle, Austin, and Nashville, Denver is a city growing on steroids. Folks say 1,000 people move here a week. The reaction among long-time residents like my sister is to avoid traffic: walk more places. Great idea! We walked to a local restaurant, Pioneer, and sat on the roof deck enjoying cheap draft beer and $5 Chicken Burritos with our friends Lisa and Bob. A very satisfying rest day indeed.

Greetings reader. I am a writer, architect, cyclist and father from Cambridge, MA.
My primary blog, theawkwardpose.com is an archive of all my published writing. The title refers to a sequence of three yoga positions that increase focus and build strength by shifting the body’s center of gravity. The objective is balance without stability. My writing addresses opposing tension in our world, and my attempt to find balance through understanding that opposition.
During 2015-2106 I am cycling through all 48 mainland United States and asking the question "How will we live tomorrow?" That journey is chronicled in a dedicated blog, www.howwillwelivetomorrw.com, that includes personal writing related to my adventure as well as others' responses to my question.
Thank you for visiting.
