I post stories I’ve written and links to the radio show podcasts I’ve produced. I maintain a lively Facebook presence including a separate page devoted to food and my pie career. I do a lot to maintain my visibility as a writer and optimize my name. Driving late at night on weekends in Boulder – the time which pays the best – is too scary on many levels.

I enjoy driving, and I made some money but paying the rental plus gas an overhead meant I had to drive a lot just to break even. Last year I drove 100,000 miles for Lyft using a rental car from Hertz – my car was too beat up. You want to know my high school? Really? My most recent job? And do I have any job references? It’s a humbling experience. I’ve got to say that filling out a standard employment forms at this point in life is its own special form of torture. I ponder Craigslist, Andrew’s Job List, LinkedIn and other sites, but I seldom see anything that fits my circumstances and abilities and age. Now I’m looking at anything and everything I can do to create income. I should have changed careers when the Rocky closed but I did not.

I take full responsibility for my circumstances. My writing is in demand but even if I write for 75 hours a week, I don’t make enough to pay the overhead required to produce that product or my other bills. I pen un-bylined advertorial content and company profiles for clients. Now I find myself between a rock and an even harder place financially as a writer even though I write a weekly food column for the Boulder Weekly and a monthly food column for Sensi magazine and other features for local and national publications about anything and everything. Since then I have worked as a freelance writer and active member of the gig economy. I was a writer/editor for two years at the Aurora Sentinel until I was laid off there. I became the Food Editor of the Daily Camera for 15 years and Dining Critic for the Rocky Mountain News for eight until it closed in 2008. I’m a believer now.īefore the turn of the century, I was a freelance writer who cooked in Boulder restaurant kitchens for seven years. For too long I refused to believe that there wasn’t a booming market for my unique skill set and excess culinary knowledge. I’ve also hosted a weekly radio food show for several decades as a volunteer. I am Colorado’s veteran uh, senior/oldest and longest serving food journalist in history having written about culinary matters locally and nationally since the late 1970s. For one thing, 64 is the new 44 which means I won’t be retiring for 20 years. Whatever I thought 64 would feel like when I was younger, this isn’t it. This isn’t how it was supposed to go, vis a vis my American dream. When I’m sixty-four?” – Lennon and McCartney Will you still need me, will you still feed me
