I’ve spent the last two days in temple celebrating Rosh Hashanah but for some reason this year I’m not feeling it. Perhaps it’s because I only show up for the high holidays and each year it’s the same story of Isaac and Abraham and Hannah and Peninah. My Jewish experience is so limited. Rabbi Mo is at the top of his game with sermons about living … Continue reading The Faith Club
There are some things I never forget. The day President Kennedy was assassinated. The day the Challenger exploded. Columbine. What I was doing on 9/11/2001. My husband called me and said turn on the TV. I got there in time to see the second plane hit the tower. I watched with my hand over my mouth then turned to my little son and said “Kyle, … Continue reading Remembering 9/11

They were sitting in the living room playing guitars and singing songs about justice and the lack of it. They had taught themselves to play in prison and they were good.

My name is Ka$h (yes, that’s how it’s spelled) and I’m a chow shepard cross. I’m a former pound puppy who was adopted from the Denver Humane Society in October by a wonderful family. I was only a few months old when they got me and was already returned by someone else. When I came to my new home I had issues. I would pee when … Continue reading A Dog Speaks Out On Michael Vick

I was particularly moved by Denver Post reporter Karen Auge’s story about the death of one homeless man and the efforts to uncover his backstory. What probably made people notice this death is the photo of a trio of maintenence workers on the 16th Street Mall who were trying to revive him. To the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless each of these lives matter but how often … Continue reading A Denver Death Examined
