As each new year arrives, I try not to hold my resolutions to high standards. Let’s face it, a “New Year’s resolution” rarely lasts more than 10 days. So, as 2015 rolled in, my goal for the following 365 days would be to show more gratitude for the things that I have access to each […]

Marijuana in Colorado just isn’t what it was in Vermont. I mean that in the most wonderful of ways.
