Feb 10th – Day 41 – Time To Ignite
This project’s been simmering below the level for the last month and change but now that simmering will slowly roil to a boil and steam up some glasses. On March 2nd 2010 Ignite Denver opens their sixth session. Several topics have been submitted and these evening I threw my hat in the ring with my presentation entitled, “Cain and Able 2: Die Harder”.
Feb 9th – Day 40 – Watch it
I read/watched multiple mediums of media today on my day off…so here are those reviews.

Feb 1 – Day 32 – TITANIC!
You know what’s great? Finding people you haven’t talked to in awhile and finding them on a similar journey. One such person is an old friend and her name is Jenn. Jenn and I survived going to the same high school (GO LITTLETON LIONS!) and after awhile drifted apart. Like everyone else you never talk to again I forgot about her a little more each day. Somehow she ended up on my friends list in Facebook again and it’s where I found her doing something similar to my project. Her focus is a little more direct. She’s counting down to the end of Nursing School and in doing that is writing about her experiences. I’ve bookmarked her site and will be catching up with her adventures. I encourage you too as well since nobody should ever make such a long walk alone.

Day 19 – Jan 19th – Writing Fool
Today has turned into a great day and it mostly has to do with my writing. I haven’t written a thing fictional wise this month and it was getting to me. I finally sat down today and pounded out over 1,300 words. It was a fun write and I have to take a moment to extend thanks to Robert Parker for the inspiration. He passed away yesterday at the age of 77. I read all his Appaloosa novels (Brimestone, Resolution, Appaloose) just at the start of January. I didn’t enjoy the settings as much as I enjoyed the characters of the series. Much of what you will be seeing in my “The Cousins’ Dahl” will have echoes and influence of Mr. Parker. I am now going to have to read his Spenser series along with Jesse Stone novels to catch up on what many call some his best writing.
Jan 11 – Day 11 – I’m Batman!
I love all things Batman. I have many of his comics. I have a deep and abiding love for “Batman” and “Batman Returns”. His is my favorite superhero because all his super power comes from the depths of his heart and soul. Broken at a young age by the murder of his parents before his very eyes the young boy grows into a man who decides to take on the world of crime within Gotham and wage war against those that seek to destroy his city that once held great promise.
Jan 2nd – Day 2 – Keeping Pace
I love weekends. This weekend is a bit of a bittersweet moment because after being on vacation for nearly two weeks I’m dreading the return to work. I’m a glutton for punishment so I’ve been checking my email. Bad idea. I fear that when I return I’m going to need roller skates to get everything done that needs doing. I’ll survive to see another day. Work isn’t the end of the world or me but it’ll definitely push me to the limits in the New Year. I’ve struggled how to balance and work with the stress that the job throws down on my shoulders and I’ll admit that on more than one occasion I’ve failed miserably. Handling stress and the load of work that presents itself is both a struggle and a blessing. Without all that I’d never learn. I’d rather learn by dealing than having a job without challenge.
