It’s 6:30 in the morning and so far, no snow, not even any drizzle or rain. Guess it’s running a little late. Now they’re saying later this afternoon. Lori and I stopped at the grocery store in Denver after our lunch with Jeff and Tina and we’d never seen it so packed. You would have thought this was the last time anyone could go to a store the way people were stocking up and just from the amount of people shopping. We quickly exited as we don’t like crowds and headed up the hill. We were home around 5 and began to unwind.
Jag took off around 4:45 for a haircut while Ty decided to stay home. I guess there was a party but some kids were doing LSD (didn’t know that was still even around) so Ty opted out. What a good kid. He even showed us videos on his phone of his buddy Will who had a little too much to drink the night before, but again Ty didn’t drink. He’s making really good choices. Lori just told me Jag made it home around 2 am. While she said she was sort of waiting up for him, I get it, he’s 17 and when we were that age, we were up and out that late too. Hell when I was his age I had already been in college for a few months.
When Lori and I were getting haircuts I told Phoebe about the David Crosby documentary and she said that was so funny as she was somehow listening to CSN&Y the other day and how great it was. Meanwhile the young girl at the counter of the salon was playing some non descript EDM (electronic dance music) that was that super annoying pound in your head gibberish. I decided to go to the counter and help her change the music. She didn’t know who CSN&Y were so I had to change it for her. Then after a few songs I asked if she knew who the Stones were and thankfully she did. Alas all hope might not be lost for the younger generation after all. Anyhow as soon as I changed the music everyone in the salon was tapping their feet or quietly signing along. The whole aura of the salon changed just from switching music.
Today it’s off to the gym, Lori is making is chili, whoo hoo, and we’ll do some laundry and cleaning. This is the first Sunday we can remember we didn’t have something going on. No conference, trips to Denver or California or school event. The boys do have theater practice from noon until 4 today. Jag went to basketball yesterday and had a great slam off a missed lay up by a team mate, should be a fun season for him. Ty is back with his trainer Tuesday and is also playing.
Bad fires in California. The Governor and environmentalists should have allowed logging as logging is good for the land. It thins out the old, sick and dying and dead trees which are the main fuel for these fires. Same thing with hunting. The funny thing is if we didn’t interfere, fires would come and go on a regular basis and keep things in check so you wouldn’t have these mega blazes. Now they say there will be rolling power outages for the next 10 years! If that’s not enough to make you move, on top of the insane taxes, the suppression of your constitutional rights in so many areas, the high crime rate and the putting of illegal immigrants ahead of U.S. citizens, I guess you’ll never leave. Sadly I understand how some people are stuck but you’d be surprised what you can do if you really want to do it. Oh well, we have our own issues here in Colorado because so many of these Californians are moving here. Guess I should keep my mouth shut, forget everything I just said and stay where you’re are.
That’s it, time to get moving. Here’s a picture of some fireworks they bring you at the new French restaurant we went to for lunch when you order champagne! Lori always looks fabulous, and loves wearing Mom’s jacket! Have a great day and God Bless.
