Let it snow, let it snow

Blizzard of 2006 - Well, the weather outside is frightful (almost 18 inches of snow and still falling), the fire is quite delightful (in our condo at Winter Park in the Rockies), but...I do have a place to go (like thousands of other people in the greater Denver area). I am surprised at nothing. Stephen, Finley, and I wondered what else could happen on our Colorado ski trip, well it's happened. Somehow this tops any ski accidents, flat tires, or nighttime chats with police officers on the side of the highway. Amazing!
We've had four days of beautiful snowboarding. That's right...beautiful. Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper. We squeezed in a little hiking in the Flatirons.
Then, I was supposed to fly out Wednesday night for home, but Denver International Airport (DIA) is closed until Friday at noon. There are 4,500 people stranded in the airport. All things considered, we're happy with our cozy fireplace, wireless internet, and hot cocoa. Thank you very much. Stay tuned.

Fall Semester As I Know It

My home, desk, stacks.



My roommate Lori and the amazing Christina.



Kickin' it with Paige (a.k.a. Finley now that we're stateside) and Renee at Swingfest in Coolidge Park.


This one goes out to Chris A. for his willingness to take women to a football game. Without him this picture would never have been possible. It was our first NFL game ever. Too bad the Titans had to lose. Even so, it was quality and the post-game Mexican comida eased our pain.


There's just something special about those stars and stripes.



Random Chinese art and stained-glass in the hills of Western Wisconsin over Mid-term break. It was educational.


We (the fam and I) thought we were on our way to Frank Lloyd Wright's TALIESIN. But the giant copper urns covered with dragons and fish lining the sides of the front drive kind of threw us off. Needless to say, best intentions don't...(really make it worth your while to finish this sentence). We'll have to hit FLW's pad another time.


Back at the Uni Shaunda, Renee, and I took advantage of the autumn foliage.
