I’m putting together a Father’s Day Market in Fort Collins on Saturday June 16 from noon to 4 pm. It is to celebrate men, manliness, masculinity and those masculine of center. There will be makers selling their handmade items, vendors with top notch products, food trucks and performers (hopefully, I can juggle if I can’t find anyone).

June 16 has historically had afternoon showers, so hopefully it will be a nice cool day and we can beat those thunderstorms!

Please email me if you would like to be involved in some way or just want to help out! Sethswax at gmail dot com

Thanks and hope to see you there!

My life is not perfect. The best any of us can do is to try to improve it. Learn, do, go, jump, bike, help, heal, rage*, destroy*, mourn*, reflect! Action Verbs! Decide to improve and do it. I’m still struggling to make putting the dishes away a part of my day. Tiny steps are WAY better than no steps. It will be uncomfortable. It will be a daily, maybe hourly, struggle and it will pay off in the end.

I’m sharing my workspace today, just to show my classic/modern struggle. Print newspaper and books, in the library, with smartphone stand and Bluetooth keyboard. Cleansing snacks and tasty beverage.

Picked up an electric bike to make my 8 mile commute to class easier and more fun. One portion of the ride is on the Spring Creek Trail which parallels and gets flooded by the Spring Creek. Just off the trail under a shady willow tree, the creek bends. Mallard’s Nest Natural Area is one of the few natural areas on the Spring Creek in that section of town, so it’s a respite for the local birds and reptiles. We saw a crane, baby snapping turtle and many insects and arachnids*. Super shady under the willow tree, kid friendly, dog friendly and nice and cool on a hot day. Invite some friends and go for a bike ride! Maybe I’ll see you there!(*Not a biologist) #FoCoSpots #KidFriendly #DogFriendly #WaterSpot #ShadyEscape #TravelTip
