Working Hard, Playing Harder.

Gizmo was recently shamed on Facebook for tearing up paper. Apparently that was not a deterrent and she found a nice snack in the recycling bin.

 We thought we could at least put her to work helping us recycle. She offered to clean out a peanut butter jar for us so we didn't have to.

Megan is part of the Environmental Law Society and Animal Defense League. Yesterday, the group went on a hike, so Megan and I tagged along.  

Not bad, Missouri, not bad.

We were the only people in the group who brought sandwiches on the hike. 

I won a handful of sunflower seeds by betting that I could skip this giant rock. It skipped twice.

The place we went hiking also has a lot of mountain biking. Most of it was single-track (for our Colorado readers).

The fall weather has been quite nice. Megan and Gizmo spent some time reading outside this morning.

I got a sweet new flannel shirt to wear on Bronco game days. Gizmo is less than thrilled about it.

Oh....and we're working and stuff too.

New Things

Our friend Ian visited us last week with the band he is managing. The bad came over and ate dinner with us before the show.

The show was at Foam, a cool place serving products with foam, like coffee and beer, in Benton Park.

The first band; Rusty Pilgrim. 

Second band; Spectator.

The final act, The Whicker and Pine.

Red Rocket, Rams, and Red Birds

My car, the Red Rocket, finally died.

I had a short memorial service as the tow truck drove away. Here's to dirt roads you could hardly handle, multiple break-downs, road trips, broken A/C, a broken stereo, keyless entry without power door-locks, manual windows, that one time when the passenger side dashboard had water flowing out of it like Niagara Falls, and that gross bra that you used to have. You were the best. 

Megan is knee deep in her 2L year. Word on the street is that it just keeps getting better.

Gizmo has been finding plenty of time to nap.....at least when we aren't putting her onto tricycles.

Some friends of mine from high school, Katie, Miles, and Ziggy (well Ziggy didn't go to our school....something about not having thumbs) live in the same apartment building as us. We watched the Rocky Mountain Showdown with them on Saturday. This was about all the joy they could muster after CSU's 22-17 win!

Gizmo decided to join us for coffee this morning.

Through work I was able to get some sweet suite seats to the Cardinals game today!

Unfortunately it's hard to find good beer at Busch Stadium for obvious reasons. My friend, Liz, found my misfortune amusing.

We received a visit from a special guest during the game!

Not a bad way to end the three-day weekend.
