I think this pretty much sums up why Colorado is my home.

I love days like today. The air is warm and slightly heavy, the way it always is before a huge front comes our way drenching us in either snow or rain. Everything is calm, everything is quiet, and soon enough, everything in the Denver Metro area will be covered in a white blanket of the stuff the Eskimos have 26 words for. Myself? I will be heading out of town to take part in some snowshoeing with the family for a day. But then it’s back to it come Friday for New Years Eve.
See you all in 2011. Be safe. Be happy. Be always working hard.
Will
See my vests (while you can).
I heard about some impending cold coming this-a-way towards the end of the week, but I didn’t want to say too much about it so as not to jinx anything. I know the east is getting hit hard, but we’re not, and to me that is unacceptable in December in Denver. The mountains are experiencing record snowfall, which is nice as I am headed there this weekend for a little snowshoeing with the old man, so I guess I shouldn’t complain. It does make commuting around the metro areas much easier. The busses run faster, I can ride my bike, walking to the bar is easy… Ya know? I’m just gonna shut up now.
Today’s look brought to you by Lands’ End Canvas, Sperry, Levi’s, J. Crew, and Lumina.
A staple: The red sweater. Lands' End Canvas, no less.
There’s a scene from an old Newsradio episode where, right before the staff of WNYX leaves for Christmas break, Joe, the office handyman played aptly by a young Joe Rogan, rips down all the holiday decorations stating, “Nothing’s more depressing than coming back to work after Christmas and seeing the decorations still up.” I couldn’t agree more. Th lights and wreaths and other miscellaneous holiday adornments only made me think about how long we have to wait until next year. Oh well, I suppose the longer we have to weait, the better it will be. It was a good holiday this year. Family, friends, crosswords galore, cash money, shoes, pots and pans, and plenty of smiles.Hell, maybe even next year we can add snow to that mix. As evidenced by this shot, we got none, and that thin layer of frost doesn’t count. But no fault of my fave Jennifer Broome – She reports, not doles out.
Hope yours was grand as well. It appears though I will be in Denver for NYE. Plans?
It’s good to hear feedback from my daily musings, whether it be mom saying she likes today’s tie shot, a new reader saying they’re been following awhile and to keep up the good work, the haters saying I should give it a rest and some of my beliefs are bass ackwards, and, most recently, an email from Anton Glamb. I mentioned him last Monday and how I am blasted back to the streets of NYC whenever I hear his music. So when he informed me that he was grateful for the writeup, I was pleased. But when he said he had a new track he wanted me to hear, I was even more stoked. Plus, this picture came attached to the note:
Anton and Aly wishing you a Happy Holiday Season.
