Anything For Love
Via Albert Bredenhann. In February 2014, one of Gerdi McKenna's friends wrote an email requesting a photoshoot for all her friends as she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before ... and this what happened...
Man Man – On Oni Pond
I have often talked about how I find new music through my friends on Rdio. Sometimes it is embarrassing that a band is "new" to me and I look back and see how many previous albums they have that I had not heard of. Such…
My New Home
When I started my blog in 2005, I picked the name Greeblemonkey because Greeble and Monkey were my son's two nicknames while I was pregnant. Over the years, it became more my name than his. Especially Greeble, which people around Denver call me on a…
#MonAndJon
When people ask how I met Monika, we usually look at each other and shrug. Twitter? Ignite Boulder? A concert? All of the above?
It was quite a while ago for sure, and that lady has become a most cherished friend. The difference in our ages makes us more like sisters sometimes, although Monika is quite mature and me... not so much. So basically we meet in the middle?
What *is* clearly defined, though, is how Monika met Jonathon. And then married him 23 days later.
I remember it distinctly because I am there in that timeline, at Day 5 Concert. I got a text while they were in route, "I am bringing a guy. I want your opinion."

(Let's not go there.) But clearly My Body Sings Electric will be making lots of new friends this year as their new album blows up.
Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit, Mexico
We are big fans of the Caribbean. We especially love Mexico because it is such a quick, direct flight from Denver. In fact, it is faster for us to the get there than it is for us to fly back east. I tend to get…
The Name Change Is Coming
For a few years at least, I have been considering changing my blog name. Should I just use my real name like every grownup I know? But Aimee Giese has lots of i's and e's and no one knows how to pronounce it (Giese rhymes…
