The Worst Events Bring Out the Best in People
As we all know, either from experience or through the images on the news, the floods that ravaged our communities this past week were nothing short of horrible. In fact, I remember the Weather Channel calling the floods "biblical" in nature...
I ate dog food…and LOVED it!
Yes it's true. I ate a big bowl of dog food and actually loved it!
Now, there is a bit of a backstory here. My family is of the dog loving kind. We absolutely love our pooches. We have Diego, a Chihuahua mix, the old man of the group. Louie is our one-eyed pug and Kingston is the baby...
I had a chance to “discover” Northern Colorado with my family!
My family and I moved here 4 years ago from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Since the move, it's been two jobs and go go go. When I got hired as a promotions person for K99 (you know, the guy or girl who ISN'T the DJ at our live events) I really started to get to know the area around the cities and townships...
What I love about being a Biker.
What is it that draws me to the biker community?
Ever since I was a kid my father always semmed to be going somewhere on an old honda motorcycle of his. Even though I didn't live with my dad, the stories of the trips he would take or the parades and toy runs he would participate in would always have my ears glued...
It’s date night for Danny Joe and his wife is ok with it!
As a father that works quite a bit, I make time ever so often to have a date night with some very special ladies. Yes, I said "ladies" and yes my wife knows about them and .....YES..... she is quite comfortable with our arrangement. You thought I was talking about girlfriends...
I Love Being a Daddy!
First off, I would like to say Happy Father's Day to all you dads, grand pa's and daddies-to-be. Father's Day ,to me, isn't a time to celebrate myself. It's a time for me to reflect on everyone around me that gave me the opportunity to be a Daddy...
How could a kid’s toy be so dangerous for adults?
Well, it's official. Summertime is here at the Danny Joe household. Friday was such an unbelievable day. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect for getting out and doing summery stuff. After watching the kids play in the back yard for a bit, we decided we should fire up the grill for the first time of the season...
A Wonderful Day with my 10 yr old.
May 26 started off as a beautiful day. It was 60 degrees and pure sunshine. So how could a day like this get any better? I'll tell you how! My oldest daughter Katlynn and I participated in our first poker run with the Realities for Children Jokers Wild Poker Run

How Colorado has helped me become more informed.
I've been a bartender for almost 14 years and the two universal topics you DON'T talk about at a bar are religion and politics. So, with that said, I was never much of a political person. If I couldn't discuss it at my bar, I didn't have much use for it...
It’s Mother’s Day! Are you Lucky or Blessed?
The lady you see in the picture is Sara. Sara is by far the person that will sacrifice all of herself to help anyone. She has a heart of gold and the patience of Gandhi. I am lucky enough to call her my wife, but even more importantly our kids are blessed enough to call her Mommy...
What NOT to say around your kids…. The True Story of a Bad Word
One day your kids are just mumbling babies just "ooooing" and "gaga-ing" their way through life not paying a bit of attention to what you say. Then, as adolescents, they end up not listening to you either. But, there is that one moment in time when you slip up and say or do something and THAT will be the one time they actually listen...
Danny Joe’s ride to Topeka Part 2
After confronting the Wet-burros at the site of their law office, we decided to take the fight to the front door of their compound. On the ride there, I was thinking of what kind of action we would see. Would the Wet-burros stay inside like recluses or would they show some spine to come out and speak their mind...
