Holiday Inn Express Colorado Springs, Co

The adventure begins! We closed up the house, packed the computer, loaded the car and headed to Colorado Springs. After running a few errands, we took Skippy to a park so that he could run and play and we could spend some quality time with the little guy. We went to dinner and then ...

... the more existential I become. Enjoying the work of Viktor Frankl, I find myself looking for meaning on almost a moment by moment basis. Living for the past month or so in the Colorado Springs area has provided an abundance of moments to reflect upon. Peeking through the shades in my corporate apartment every morning and every evening gives me the opportunity to see Pike's Peak in various ...

Today Frank stayed home to make us his famous pork chili. Takes hours of love and we were all grateful. Antonio went for another long marathon training run. Chuck, Hector & Diana went foraging for Jack In The Box, an Apple store and a double feature ;) "Couples Retreat" & "Whip It" both good and more importantly cheap. Only $6.50 and you know we did the 2 fer 1 cause we're geto(boys) like that. Made it back to home base in time to see Dollhouse and feast on dinner. Great day for all.

Alright you Powderhounds - the wait is OVER!!!


Starting this morning at 9:00am Loveland Ski Area will be the first ski area in North America to open for the 2009-2010 ski season. This is the earliest opening day at Loveland Ski Area in 40 years - and we couldn't be more excited ...

... gear into our rooms. We just leave it on the seats when we cover the bikes and no one even knows its there. Our goal today was to travel to Joe's friend, Mary's, home in Colorado as she graciously offered to have us visit with her and tour a little around her area before continuing on our way. We decided to do as many miles as we could as quickly as we could as she was about 475 miles away. At 7:30 this morning it was only 51 degrees. As we ...

And back to our house in Colorado Springs. Ted back to work. Esther Mennen was a sudent from the Netherlands who stayed with us and went to a High School in Colorado Springs. On October 8th 2007 Kyran was born in the Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs. 5 days afterKyran was born, my parents came and helped me with the little baby and Julia, who was 16 months at that time. Also at that time we heard we had to move back to Fairfield....

... the new baby and got ready, Monie and I sat on the front bench while he played the guitar and he told me a story he read years ago called "Snow on Mt. Fuji". After meeting Jeremy and Amanda, we all made our way down to Sanford's for dinner. It was really nice to talk to them and hear all their stories about the doctors they work with and how the two of them met. While Monie was telling them about how we met in Guatemala, running and ...

I'm in Denver at the moment.... got here about a week ago to attend a friend's wedding (yes, another!) and have been spending time with my family this week. I'm heading back to Guatemala (third time this year!) on Friday to spend a week there. I'm really excited about the trip back to Guatemala -- I'll be able to catch up with friends there (including Isabel and Jose who I lived with for a while). And, I'm going to spend ...

Hoje eh domingo e nevou pela primeira vez - uma neve linda, flocos grandes. Creio que devido estarmos numa altitude tao alta, os flocos de neve sao maiores, pois acabaram de se desgrudar das nuvens! Hoje tivemos um otimo "brunch" (breakfast+lunch) num hotel maravilhoso chamado The Broadmoor (http://www.broadmoor.com/). Categoria 5 estrelas, tudo era muito bonito e chique. O buffet tinha 700 ...
