The year was 1988. We had big hair…lots of hair. I used to spend an hour each morning curling my already permed hair into even tighter little curls with a curling iron the size of my pinky finger. I really did want to be ‘Baby’ from Dirty Dancing even though I had stick-straight hair. And […]
I stare out my window in Denver at the snow-covered mountains and sigh in defeat. I am tired of being scared and intimidated by the idea of driving in winter conditions. The mountains were calling me, “Sherry, come play…”. I’m not a skier. And yes, I know that makes my move to Colorado an odd […]

I am half aware that I have fallen asleep. My head back on the seat, mouth open, I may even be drooling for all I know. I can sort of still hear the people talking around me and the radio on, but it’s just background noise that tends to lull me more into this catnap. […]
I’m in Colorado this week attending an Adventure Travel Conference learning about a bunch of cool new adventures that people like me and you can take. I’m also doing a few adventures myself: horseback riding, white water rafting, hut-to-hut hiking, and visiting breweries/distilleries (Yes – drinking is adventure travel…really it is). This is my first […]
