      Wee Beasties

      It was shortly after I moved to the new place that I found out about the wee beasties.

      My kids were all safely tucked away in their own pleasant little situations, I had officially been in mourning for a year, the financial chaos from Bill’s death was finally wrapped up, and I had left suburbia behind. The new place was a new apartment block in the River North Art District of Denver, a neighborhood famous for its upscale eateries and artist community, very high on the walkability scale. Rents were still reasonable, by Denver standards. It was right off the light rail, too.

      The building—I’ll keep the name of it to myself, thank you very much—is open and spacious in the common areas, and has a swimming pool, in-house café, outdoor patio with barbecue grills for resident use, a gym, extra storage, and even charging stations for electric cars. If I like, I can check out a bicycle from the bicycle library and peddle myself over to the botanic garden, or to the zoo, or to the nature and science museum. I can even take a jaunt down to the 16th Street pedestrian mall and go to the Tattered Cover bookstore for an afternoon.

      I work, usually from home, as a freelance copywriter for several local companies.
