Yeah, we got some snow. The pile on the barbeque is about a third higher than this and it's still coming down. I'm fine with winter if there is some snow.

We went to see "For Your Consideration" yesterday at the Landmark theater. Pretty good with some really good laugh-out-loud parts to it ( loved the Entertainment Tonight spoofers). It was a rare outing with all the pack, minus the dogs. I found out that the Landmark got a 3-month extension to their lease before Barnes and Noble moves in to renovate before Whole Foods moves into their space.

Ok, back to work with a trip to Lafayette that allowed me to see the snow-capped mountains on the way back into town. This is a relief since there hasn't been any moisture for a while and it's been warmish. Dillon Reservoir was full on Tuesday when we drove past, but there just wasn't much snow before or after Vail Pass.

Gardening is all over for the year but I've been collecting leaves for composting. Leaf mold is something that I took for granted, growing up in the South, something I have to assist in causing here in this dry state. Attention has moved to the house painting project which I imagine will take us several months with the changing weather and all.


I stopped by Pier One and picked up a tree. It's not quite the aluminum tree with colored lights that Mama had, but it's my first aluminum tree.

Sugar and I are home again just in time for Thanksgiving with Honey and Sweetie.

We took a 10 day trip to LA: drove the southern route through NM and AZ to avoid a snow storm in the mountains. That route is much better on the train for me, though I did enjoy the leg from Flagstaff into Hollywood. This trip was short but intense in terms of moving leaps and bounds toward where I want to go. I could spend half my time in East Hollywood at ASHO, but going back and forth is really a pleasure. We drove back via NV and UT and UT was spectacular. It wasn't too long ago that I thought it was all just brown dirt. Was I ever wrong.

Roxie and Hansel were thrilled to see us when we got back and I was thrilled to see how clean the house was and how well my sons handled everything while were were gone. We celebrated Thanksgiving at the Hotel Boulderado big buffet which was very nice for all. Honey went on to work the T'giving feast at his resturant, the rest of us strolled the Pearl Street Mall for a bit. Then we came back home for sleeping (for the guys) and struggling with the new Blogger Beta version for a blog for the Scientology Mission in Boulder. A little Broncos/Chief football, some "Grey's Anatomy" and now Hansel is saying it's time for some lap time.

Nice to be home

This time I voted, early again, but I really wasn't into it. I'm the kind of voter who votes for the individual issue or candidate so I'm not sure if I make that much difference. Some Dems, some Republicans, a couple of Libs. I pretty much voted against any amendments in an effort to keep the Constitution de-kludged. Term Limits for Judges - yes. No more money to the school districts (though it was hard to decipher those questions). I was going to vote for Ritter but at the last minute decided Beauprez, just to keep a balance between party control the State Legislature and the Executive Branch. I don't really see a lot of difference in the candidates and I'm fine with Ritter winning.
On the federal level, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Dems tidy up now that they have power.
