Boulder Hash Run a great success

Pic from Sam on Flickr at Oskary5.

After careful consideration, I have arrived at the conclusion that there’s only one possible art form that can wholly capture the fun of Laura, Brittney and Andrea’s Hash Run: A limerick.

Through much of Boulder we ran,
Following the hares’ dastardly plan.
A photog took pics,
As we ran ‘midst his clicks,
Though we didn’t see Todd or his van.

See we started at Connor O’Neils.
Then ran cross some streets and through fields.
We drank beer in the middle,
And after solving the hares’ riddle,
We ate ice cream sundaes with zeal.

Renewing my vow

About two years ago I promised myself that I would never again buy chapstick.

After acquiring another six free sticks of SPF-ed lip balm thanks to Boulder’s annual Bike to Work Day (my favorite holiday), I hereby renew that promise:

I, Courtney Holden, aspiring professional journalista, hereby promise, once again to, from hereafter, never
again purchase a product that coats my lips.

(I’d sign here, but I can’t figure out how to change my font to something in cursive.:

Read this now because I may die soon

I’ve been going through old water and sanitation records this morning for my gig with I News.
As I’m sifting through old files filled with piles of papers, I lick my fingers in order to peruse the sheets more quickly.
Which makes me wonder: I’m sure this isn’t the first time somebody has looked through these files. And likely, they were using the same finger-lick flipping method that I am.
Which means I may well contract some wacked out disease that’s been lying dormant and unassuming for the past 15 years.
Awesome.
The things I do in the name of journalism.

The Backpacker Staff

Mmmmmm ... Thanks pixelnaiad on Flickr.
So I’m working as an intern at Backpacker magazine this summer, and it’s pretty obvious that they’re practicing what they preach.
It’s not just the chiseled calves, deep tans and considerable amount of Patagonia attire that’s giving it away.
No.
It’s the oatmeal consumption.
I’d venture to guess that about 87 percent of the employees are eating oatmeal for breakfast, mid-morning snacks or afternoon munches … by choice.
