If Wheat Ridge’s newest entertainment venue, The Werks, were a report card it would boast straight Bs – as in bowling, beer, burgers and bikes. According to owner Paul Porter, having all those under one roof is what makes visiting an A-plus experience. “It’s ridiculously fun,” Porter said. “We are pretty much everything everybody loves about Colorado.” The Werks opened in January at 2625 Kipling St., taking over the space formerly home to Paramount Bowl.

Bakery Four, which helped usher in a modern wave of upscale, high-quality bakeries in Denver, said Wednesday that it plans to open a second location. “We’re taking over the former Fox Run space at 3550 E.

Procrastination, for me, isn’t just a bad habit but rather a lifestyle I’ve spent years trying to unlearn. I want to be productive, but it just doesn’t happen. But after countless late nights and passed-by deadlines, I realized tech could solve my procrastination problem.

Dear Eric: I am a 60-something man who struggled for decades, working multiple jobs at a time. Many of those jobs were physically brutal, but thanks to a generous family inheritance late last year I’m finally able to rest my beaten and broken body and retire with my arthritis meds and pending joint replacements. My wife of eight months, who is physically whole and energetic, and who never held a paying job, wants us to spend my inheritance to live in “active seniors” retirement like those graying couples in AARP and prescription meds commercials: mountain climbing, volunteering to build houses, running marathons, kite-skiing, etcetera. Here’s what I want to do every day: Take my daily two-mile morning walk or pedal my bike about 10 miles, swim my laps at the YMCA, take a nap, then spend the next 10 hours writing, reading and catching up with all those long-ago movies and TV series I missed due to 70-hour work weeks and having to learn new jobs for so many years. Help? — Peaceful Retirement Dear Retirement: Congratulations on moving into this well-deserved next chapter.
