It’s almost here – the first big Scampabout of the year. Road Trip USA 2014 Woohoo I’m So Excited and I Just Can’t Hide It! Ahem. My plan, and I use this word loosely since at the moment I don’t actually know where we’ll end up the...

Here in Taos we’ve gone from shorts and flip-flops to long pants and snow boots in just a few days. Sigh. But the ground will soak up the snowmelt and be happy, and the trees look soft and pretty. It’s not so bad after all. Hope you’re enjoying...

Mom and I just got back from a trip to Nova Scotia where we had exactly one day of sun. Did that put a damper (zing!) on the Kahler mood? Please. Nova Scotia is ridiculously pretty, even in the gloom, so it’s hard not to love it. (It also has super nice people...

You know what it takes to grow Taos from its usual 7,000 people to 17,000 in just one day? Invite bigger-than-God Mumford & Sons to play in Kit Carson Park. Visitors got a good taste of Taos weather that day. Here’s the sky, which proceeded to dump hail,...

I was just in Denver visiting the lovely and talented Garrett Hacking, and the first thing he wanted to do was check out The Buckhorn Exchange, a bar and steakhouse that opened in Denver in 1893. It’s not only the oldest restaurant in Colorado, it got the very...
