Hey Dad and Mom

Marge and Sam

Out for lunch yesterday
Bronco Billy's Casino

I'm home! It was great seeing you.

After freezing fog, wet snow and generally yucky weather in Cripple Creek, Colorado finally put on a happy face when I left this morning.

It was a sparkling bright sun-glasses-required drive back down to the airport in Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak was beautiful with the first big snow of the season.

And hey, thank you Alaska Airlines (if you're listening) for the new 12:10 PM direct flight from Colorado Springs all the way to Seattle. Who cares about that small plane?  It flies. Hope you fill it up soon.

First thing I did when I got home was attack the bamboo shoots and cut some roses. Then we called out for pizza and settled in to watch the Buckeyes.
