My New Car

Here it is. The new ride. The reason that I get up every day. Just kidding. Or am I? It is a fun car and a huge step up over the Go-Cart. As much as I miss adding a quart of oil every other trip to the gas station, feeling like my ass is dragging on the ground, feeding the four hamsters running the engine, and getting out to push it up hills, I think I like this one better. It is loaded on the inside with a 6 disc CD player and all the other upgrades. I got a sweet deal and I can't wait for the snow to start falling to test out the 4-wheel drive!

Not much new to report from Lakewood. The past week or so, I have been spending every possible minute with the womanpiece because she leaves Tuesday for Phoenix. She couldn't set up two of her rotations in Denver, so she has to go back to Arizona for 3 months. I'm not too excited about it, but there is nothing I can do about it. She does get to come back for 2 weeks at Christmas and I'm sure I will be down there at least once in the next few months. So all is not lost. Plus, at the rate the last 6 months have gone, those three months will disappear faster than a Twinkie at Deppe's house. In the mean time, I will console myself by skiing ridiculous amounts and working on Robert's Galaxie. Hopefully next week, we will try starting it up. Cross your fingers!

Besides that, my life is pretty boring. I've gone to all but the first CSU football game, visited with Dunham, Rosie, and Kyle when they were in town, got my skis ready for the season, read a few books on the bus to and from work, and have kept myself out of trouble for the most part. Hope everything is going well with you all.
