Where can I find a caddie for Colorado’s highest backcountry golf tournament? How do people blend personal and professional fulfillment? How can I healthfully forage at the Food Bag on a cross-country road trip? What are the benefits and risks of a neighborhood baby-sitting co-op? How should one train for speed golf? What is proper etiquette for snowboarders hitchhiking up Berthoud or Loveland Pass? How can I master playground politics with my 2-year-old? How should you react when the black bear across the creek bed enlivens your morning hike by sprinting toward you and your dog? How does one develop a hard-core yoga habit?

Eric Krell has answered those and other questions as an on-air lifestyle essayist for NPR affiliate KUNC in Colorado, as the author of numerous magazine articles and columns, and, perhaps most important, during his stint as the horoscope columnist “Madame Estrella” for a Colorado weekly.

Most recently, Krell has been researching and writing personal-finance articles that apply corporate-finance principles to personal fulfillment.
