March 2007

March began with a trip out to see Suzy in Denver. We got a chance to see her new place outside the city in Broomfield. It looked very homey and an amazing view. And we must confess that we never fulfilled our promise to help her hang more pictures. Sorry, Suzy. We did, however, have a great day of snowshoeing about an hour outside of Denver. If we remember correctly, it was Eagle Creek. And, as you can see from the picture above, it was snowing. You might also notice a fourth member of our crew, Schuyler. We enjoyed spending time with Schuyler, a man who continues to live the dream of the nightsaber. (Ask Sarah if you have any questions about that.)

Besides snowshoeing, we also got a chance to walk around downtown Boulder and Denver. The weather was hot and sunny, and therefore vastly different from the day before in the mountains. We also lucked out by crossing paths with Dan Peltier, who was on his way to a convention about trains south of Denver.

What else does March mean to you? That's right, baby, March Madness! For the first time, after years of appreciating the festivities in local bars and Vegas, we took advantage of our new location in the place that invented college basketball fever. Four games on Thursday and two games on Saturday in the world famous Rupp Arena.



We were joined in this glorious escapade by Lauren, who, in an effort to dodge the local paparazzi, also managed to elude our camera in the five days she was here. We went to the games, and each night came home to watch a few more. In between, Lauren and Sarah went on a tour of local horse farms and saw one-day old foals. Basketball...check. Horses...check. The only thing missing from Lauren's visit was a trip to a bourbon distillery. Hopefully she will be out again soon to make up for that.
