Recent Events

I realize that I have not been doing a particularly good job of updating my blog lately. I have neither been too busy, nor lacked in exciting adventures. I have two roommates that blog and hang out with me. Three posts about climbing a mountain in a dress is a little excessive in my book.

Anyway, life is good. I take Cota on a kick-ass hike every day and ride my bike a lot. Baking cookies has slowed down since the students have left town and I have redoubled my efforts to find a good engineering job. I have quite a few great prospects right now so hopefully something will pan out.

On Monday the whole city came out for the Bolder Boulder. This is the biggest 10k race in the world with over 50,000 runners. I thought it was a really impressive event. There are bands playing all along the course and I rode my bike around to see Mel at various points along the course. My favorite stop was next to a band of middle school boys. It was an interesting study in what happens if you give a 14 year old boy an electric guitar and thousands of screaming fans. The middle schoolers had great taste in music, covering Metallica, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Kiss, GnR, and Ozzy Osbourne.
The middle schoolers play some GnR.

Jake was in town for a day last week on his way to New York. It was great to see him and we did some awesome backcountry skiing in Rocky Mountain NP. I have been continuing my exploration of Colorado's rivers and creeks.
