Hoth

Season Greetings from Colorado. I am surviving the Holiday Blizzard of 2006. 24" of Snow and 6 foot snow drifts in my neighborhood. I lost power for several hours this morning. I didn't mind, it gave me an excuse to go outside and play. Here are some pictures from the morning adventure.

I noticed in my last post that I got anonymous comment saying I looked miserable. A strange comment to say the least. I'm guessing it was done out of jealousy. It got me thinking though, have I ever been miserable since I moved to Colorado? Well I hurt my leg from a ski boot. I was pretty miserable for several days after that, but I had so much fun creating that misery. Disaster did happen last week, I spilled half of my Fat Tire. That was pretty miserable, but then I realized that there are unfortunate people back East who can't even buy Fat Tire. So I quickly feel blessed to live where I do. All I can say is, life is good in Colorado
Merry Christmas

Carter

Hello again from Colorado! Didn’t do too much outside this weekend. The beautiful weather we were having during the week turned chilly by this weekend. I had a few home projects I was working on anyway. I did get out Saturday for a little bit. I went up above Red Rocks where I discovered they are celebrating Carter’s Birthday out here. So I just want to finish up this post by shouting out to my favorite nephew, Happy Birthday!!!

I went back to Roxborough State Park this weekend. I took the Fountain Valley Trail this time. An easy but beautiful trail. It wanders through a valley of red rocks similar to the rock formations of the actual Red Rocks Park.

Big soccer news this past week, Bob Bradley was named interim head coach for the Men's US National Soccer Team. This was after a deal could not be worked out with Juergen Klinsmann. It would have been interesting to see what Klingsmann would have done with the team. Who knows how it would have worked out. Who knows how Bradley will work out. Hope for the best. Go Nats!

Last but not least, I want to say Happy Birthday to my favorite sister!

I took easy this weekend. My leg is still a little sore from the ski boot on Thanksgiving, but it is getting better. It snowed on Wednesday and Saturday this week. I think that was the first measurable snow in Lakewood since the blizzard that made national news. We got ten inches at my place on Wednesday; I'm not sure about Saturday. Wednesday's snow was still around. Anyway I went for a short walk along Bear Creek. The coyotes have been more active lately. I've noticed them running around a lot more. Their howling actually woke me up one night.



Can you find the Coyote?
