It was soooo cold on the way back from Vail that our car's thermometer displayed the lowest we've ever seen a car thermometer go (see pic below). Not sure about you, but i had no clue these themometers could even go into negative numbers? Granted I'm from the South and thankfully I've never been anywhere when it was that could so hadn't had to look, but I had no idea a negative sign was ever there to illuminate - if necessary. Or maybe I have but they only cars with this little negative sign there. sell/rent them that way in the Rockies or northern areas I haven't been much...or maybe it's just that because of where we live that negative sign has never come into play so therefore I never noticed it being available. Either way, they were shocking firsts for both of us - the temperature and the little negative sign beside it.
Not much else to report, at least not for now...In other words, as many of you know we successfully got what we came for - for now. Playing the the probablity and statistics worked out in our favor. So as it turns out and as my "everything happens for a reason" wife points out, it was well worth missing the GMAT appointment to figure out the best course of action...even if it meant crunching numbers, forecasting odds, and deliberating with the embyologist all while sitting in the parking lot of the testing center as my appointment time passed. Besides, after applying probablity and statistics in as much of a real life scenario as I could possibly imagine before the actual test, it probably was best that I didn't have to go take it immediately after.
You know, somewhere in all of this is a whole disseration and justification on how my gambling ways helped us make the right decision here...but I'll save that for later!
Anyway, over and out for now, but here are some recent video links for you...
1. Boulder Theater, a frickin' awesome live music venue, is a convertered, old school movie theater in the downtown of a hip college town (the perfect recipe, no?). If Red Rocks is the best outdoor music venue I've been to, then Boulder Theater is the best small indoor venue I've been to as well. (I know that's a bold statement, and it's a tough call with Ziggy's in Winston, but then again, was Ziggy's itself all that great or just the roster of bands that came there?). But it wasn't just the setting and atmostphere, the setup was just as key...good, close seating, great accoustics, and just as important, it's bar was inside the music hall starting at the dual entrances and stopping in the middle just before the sound board.

2. Execellent rendition of "The Way It Is" by B. Hornsby...came in the middle of his set, sorry for shaky camera work in the first 30 secs, had a hard time getting it prop'd on the open seat beside me (yes, the seat beside me was open, probably the only one in the place - drinks, jackets, feet, video cameras - it was all fair game - money!). Bruce was very good, not great..typical kinda pompous self - he came straight out, went into two straight songs, didn't say a word to the crowd, and didn't acknowledge Bob Schneider (who actually outperformed Hornsby, I predict he will start to get big pretty fast with shows like that) or let him re-appear on stage with him later. But nevertheless, Bruce always plays well, so here you go...

3. Video of a somewhat tipsy stroll through Vail Village...the men were leading the way in search of quality red meat and high definition display of college football...surprisingly we found the best of both in one spot. Hang on 'til the end of the clip to witness Catherine's excellent handiwork on the video camera.
