Burning Out

The 20,000 wildland firefighters risking their lives across the US are also jeopardizing their mental health. Who’s there to help them?

After a protracted, widespread 2020 fire season, popular travel spots are trying to plan for an uncertain future.

The pandemic exacerbated a whole host of public he

The pandemic exacerbated a whole host of public health issues. For example: Nearly 10,000 people are experiencing homelessness in Colorado, a number that increased by 2.4% in 2020. Fatal drug overdoses were up by 59% in the state last year. Which means one innovative @denverrescuemission program is more necessary than ever. The 100-acre Harvest Farm in Wellington is a place where men struggling with both of these issues get their hands dirty as a way to help to clean up their lives. I wrote about the impact on participants in #MyLatest for @5280Magazine. [Link in bio for a bit]

Rang in the Jewish New Year with a much-needed nature fix and even-more-needed time with my brother, who I hadn’t been able to see for 18+ months. Hoping it sets the tone for a better, and sweeter, year to come—for all of us.

There are 20,000-plus wildland firefighters spread

There are 20,000-plus wildland firefighters spread across the U.S. They work incredibly long hours, and spend months away from family, to protect our homes and the lands that we love.

The psychological impact of this work is only starting to be understood. Wildland firefighters are at elevated risk for depression, alcohol use disorder, sleep deprivation, post-traumatic stress, and suicide. It's more common for firefighters to die by suicide than in the line of duty.

So what's being done to protect them while they protect us? That's the question I set out to answer in #MyLatest for @guardian_us. [Link in bio for a bit]

I was treated to the most wonderful birthday surprise this weekend: reuniting with the crew in Steamboat. 🥳 Though we were missing a few faces, it was the best present to hug, laugh, and throw it back in one of my favorite places. Thanks for the perfect gift, @zdubbles. 💛

#MyLatest: "...you can’t talk about barbecue in

#MyLatest: "...you can’t talk about barbecue in the United States without including African Americans. That’s an incomplete story.” I spoke to @soulfoodscholar about his new book, "Black Smoke," which chronicles the cuisine's historical context and celebrates the many Black pitmasters who helped invent the dishes we know and love today—people like @pitmasterrodneyscott, @kevinbludsobbq, and @edsqonwheels.

Though wildfires are commonplace in the West, 2020

Though wildfires are commonplace in the West, 2020 was a particularly bad year for them. Science tells us these hotter, larger, longer lasting burns are not a fluke, but rather our new normal. What does that mean for our favorite destinations—the wineries, ranches, and trails we love to visit and explore? I asked around in #MyLatest for @thedailybeast.

Thank you to @clazyuranch, @paradiseridge, @hearstranchwinery, @lostvalleyranch and others for sharing your insights.

#MyLatest: If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent months daydreaming about all the places you want to travel once it’s safe to do so. To help with your planning, I compiled a list of 15 destinations you can reach via nonstop flights from @denairport—and the oh-so-Colorado reasons to visit. Where will you go?
