I Was Stunned and Amazed; My Childhood Memories Slowly Swirled Past
So, I stayed in Colorado and despite the obvious being on my mind, it actually turned out to be a fairly nice Thanksgiving. I had a day off alone with the girls on Wednesday, which was fun, and on Thursday we totally chowed down on some turkey and other traditional dishes. The weather was nice over the whole holiday weekend, so we took a short hike on Friday up to the Fort Collins "A." For those of you unfamiliar with the beautiful city of Fort Collins, there is a giant letter "A" painted on one of the foothills to the west of town. The "A" has been there since Colorado State University was Colorado A&M and stands for "Aggies" as students were previously known prior to becoming Rams. Here is a swell article about the painting of the A. Anyway, we hiked it. Here are some pics:

On Saturday we decided to relax and take in a movie. However, since there was slim pickings between what we had already seen and what we could realistically take the girls to, we ended up seeing a movie so dreadful that I am embarrassed to even mention the title here. I had low expectations going into it, and even that bar was set too high. A half-hour into it and I was looking at my watch to see how long towards the end. But, the girls seemed entertained by it and hopefully being exposed to it didn’t permanently lower their IQ levels.
Sunday was another down day pretty much spent getting ready for another full week of fun at work and school. Somehow those long weekends never seem long enough. Oh well, only a couple of more weeks until we get days off for xmas and New Year's. At least I've got that going for me. After that, it's the long, hard slog towards Memorial Day...
