Aubrey Sacco did not board her plane on Saturday and is still missing in Nepal. Members of her family are planning on traveling to Nepal to continue the search for their daughter while it appears that no leads have led them any closer to finding her.

Boulderite and Colorado native Aubrey Sacco, 23, is missing in Nepal after failing to contact her family after a solo, week-long trek in the region of Langtang. Please help find her!

I arrived in sunny San Diego on November 8, 2009 with no idea what to expect. Had you asked me then where I’d be in six months, I’d have given you an answer quite different from reality.

For a few weeks now, I have been so busy! I’ve even been too busy to post a Must Read/See/Hear update; there’s just so much going on, like moving, finding a job, and attending boatloads of events.

I figure some politics, gigantic iPhones, and a great song from an awesome Denver band will make for a great start to this week. This week just has to be better than the last!

It may be yet another week following far too short of a weekend, but there’s really no choice but to own up to the Mondays and dig in anyhow. I guess that’s part of why I write this on my blog — to get over my “Mondays” and start the week with something good for me to share, and hopefully, something good for you to read.

What’s on the plate for Monday, March 15? Whether it’s Manny Pacquiao, OK Go à la Rube Goldberg, or the always-reliable Spoon, here’s something worth checking out for your Monday morning.

Lately, the same child in me that lamented the idea of a buffalo burger has taken another look at the whole idea of eating meat.

A while ago, I attempted to write a series called “Must Read/See/Hear For Your Monday Morning,” and it didn’t last past a single entry. Part of the reason it didn’t do well is because I just put way too much content in the post, and if I’m going to do this more often, I should make it far easier to digest.

Although there are numerous works, both fictional and non-fictional, that have influenced me quite greatly, I would have to settle on one particular book that has stood out as The Book That Changed My Life.

I’ve been in San Diego for just over five weeks now, and life is radically different than I thought it would be. I guess I had certain kinds of expectations.

The last time I left Boulder, I knew I was coming back for school. Now I don’t have any other reason to come back besides the fact that I love this town. I appreciated it a lot more when I left it for a while, and it’ll be that way again.
