As mentioned in our last post, Andrew and I have been considering trying our hand at DJing at our local community radio station KHEN (Community Radio = Volunteering = No Pay).   We did our first show as volunteers for another DJ as she was out of town one evening.Well, we will begin doing a morning show, Chicken Lips, this Wed, 8-9am ...

As I've mentioned before, we have a very cool local community radio station here in Salida: KHEN-LP 106.9 (website).  I've been spending many hours straightening out the KHEN computers, the KHEN network, and getting their radio automation software up and running.  It's fun working with all the good folks down at the station.

It had been a good winter so far.  Work has been steady.  And after a slow start, the snow has been quite plentiful, but not to the point of being debilitating... at least, not in our immediate area.  A couple of miles North of us, people couldn't get out of their driveways or down some of the ...

Tanda Enterprises, our little company recently joined the Heart of the Rockies Chamber of Commerce, was recently on the local radio stations KVRH/KBVC. You can hear all the excitement here or you'll catch it if you are ...

In more ways than one, we are back.  Back from our Thanksgiving whirlwind family tour and back from the dead... Stepping back in time, before we headed out for our Thanksgiving trip, we did a little trip down to Taos, New Mexico to participate in the Taos Balloon festival with Salida friends Doug, Trish, Lum, Steve, and Mike.  ...

Finally, after two entire years in transition, we have finally come home.  So has our stuff.  Teresa and I counted it up once and realized that at one point, our stuff had been scattered across the continent in no fewer than four different states and in ten different locations: Anita's Birmingham, ...

Hot on the heals of a post titled, ''Is Salida the next Aspen?''...  this is pretty exciting news for our little town... at least for those who enjoy culinary delights. http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_7076236 ...
