a quick update

Things here are going crazy per usual. The car is broken once again. Once again we are going to fix it. We have had a very busy fall. Things are going so fast. I am hoping to get up halloween pics in the next couple of days Jesse was a Ninja and I was a Pirate. We had fun went trick-or-treating at the mall. Went around to a few houses. Hope everyone else had a happy and safe halloween.

a total rant

Some completly undesierable person decided to be ever so kind last night and back into my car in the parking lot doing a fare amount of body damage to my car and just drove off isn't it nice to know you have good neighbors.... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So sad to be back home... i didn't even remotely realize how very much i missed colorado until we went back. We had a great time got to see a lot of people and have a lot of fun. We flew in on saturday and made a b line for el noa noa and had lunch which was per usual fantastic. Then we headed to DAM where we wandered around the museum for a few hours Jesse lost intrest rather quickly but did well in general. We took that evening pretty easy as we had been awake for way to long to be healthy any longer. We stayed as Richard's friend Thresa who was a wonderful and gracious host throughout most of trip we stayed at her house. Sunday morning we woke up early and headed to the springs. We spent that day with Evan and his family. We had a great visit that i wish had been days longer. The kids got along so well and had a great time playing together within a matter of moments Jesse and Riley were thick as thieves. We had lunch together at old chicago and then headed to Mr.Biggs where the kids got to run around and be crazy. The dads did to while Kalisha and I had a chance to sit and relax for the most part. I think Evan and Richard had more fun at the pirate ball room than the kids did. We then drove over and met Kalisha's parents who were very nice we have a short visit that i wish had lasted longer but jesse fell asleep about 5 minutes into their front door... We stayed in colorado springs that night and the next morning headed back over to Even and Kalishas. We then wandered around garden on the gods and took the kids to Manitou Springs where we got to take lots of pictures and play on the old fashion arcade ride with the kids. We said our good byes in manitou and headed up to boulder. It was time for some microbrew and more old friends. We headed to Mountain Sun where we met up with Mati and Padme had a great dinner wander aimlessly around pearl street just for old time and headed to their house. Had a great little visit and got to take home some of Matis homebrew. The Fat Tire clone was my favorite. The next day we spent wandering around denver heading to old haunts like the city park, the tattered cover, twist and shout records, burbon chicken for lunch and then our last supper at of course el noa noa. We left totally wanting to never leave and can't wait to head back this time we will make sure it happens a little sooner....

Music picks for the week...

So i have know decided that i am going to do a music post each week with a few artists that i have either discovered through my boundless and endless search for great music or someone who has put something out that i think all should see...

A Fine Frenzy
So in love with her voice and piano... one of the best new artists i have listened to in a long time... A Fine Frenzy fronted by Alison Sudol is amazing....



Rodrigo y Gabrilla
I don't care who you are or what music you listen to the way these two play guitar is amazing... Their covers of Wish You Were Here and Stair Way to Heaven are mind shattering... here is one of their songs from when they were on letterman




Buddy Wakefield
How amazing can one man be his spoken word is so amazing i could listen to him for hours....



so theres my first attempt at making a weekly blog thing happen... heres to making it happen a second time...

mwauh

colorado here we come

We are finally going to be making it back to colorado after being gone for almost 4 years i can not wait.. There are so many things we want to be able to do and see on this trip we have shortened it pretty substantially so that is kind of a bummer.. but hopefully we can fit alot of it in there i think i am going to miss out on going to see a show at the gothic but maybe next time... Looking forward to the mountains, the family, the friends, the food, and the microbrew...
