Poets in Denver


After helping Becca move to Ft. Collins, I headed down to Denver to visit Jules & Mathias and D'Count in their new home. This is their dog park.


Not satisfied to be so close to the mountains without venturing up a bit, Jules & I headed up into Rocky Mountain National Park this morning before I came back to the flatlands. This stream had wonderfully cold water to walk in.


Even D'Count tried it out, albeit puppy-hesitantly. Smart puppy! Water is fun! It was his first trip out of the city.


US Mail on the SF-NJ haul. Oh, Nebraskus.

Colorado New Year

I'm at Emily's parents' townhouse at Copper Mountain, fresh off of winning the betting pool in the Nebraska-Clemson game (my guess: 24-21 NU, actual score: 26-21 NU, the prize: a free lift ticket tomorrow!).
On the way out to the mountains, circa Denver, I was struck with a stomach virus that just now seems to be leaving me. I had two lackluster days of skiing, took today off, and have two days left on the slopes before we head back to Lincoln. Not making the progress on my ski skills I had hoped, but having a very nice time of it nonetheless. Besides, I'm wearing my handknit cardigan.
Photos to come once I'm back at my own computer!
