back from CO

wow.. packed full weekend. or long weekend.

It was really great to see Lauren. We...








-made spaghetti and meatballs
-went to Boulder and ate lunch at the Tajik tea house
-bought dresses at Goldmine, my new favorite store in the world. Vintage, well organized, and well priced! You rarely get it all.
-Ordered pizza
-drank the 13-minute pour that Coors makes
-got fish tacos at a chain restaurant
-finally went on the Coors brewery tour!
-(bought the freshest Coors money can buy)

...I think that's a reasonable account of events.

Then I went to see moe. at the Fillmore in Denver Friday and Saturday. It was great to see them, and everyone who came, from all over the country!

Saturday a few of us went down to the 'Garden of the Gods', very impressive rock formations. I was so impressed that I didn't really bother to read the signage (good tourism student, huh..).. but as I walked around I said to my friend "I wonder how this happened!". The man behind us HAD read the plaques and explained: the ground was smoothed flat by rivers, and at some point as the Rocky Mountains moved, those flattened pieces were dislodged and pushed straight up!

I returned for a long work day. A kind of fancy event that started tonight, and it went pretty well. I am pleased/relieved/going to sleep in tomorrow because I worked late. yeah!
