Well, I got to head on up to my grandparent’s home for Christmas. They live in the mountains above Woodland Park in the foothills of Pikes Peak. In fact, their home is at about 9,500 feet elevation. And today, there was much snow falling.
I figure there was about 4-6 inches total up there. It was nice to watch it come down on Christmas. But of course the Christmas celebration was all about Stirling, my three-year-old nephew. Every present was for him of course (no matter whose name was actually on the gift), and the center of the universe revolved around him. But it was still fun.
After the gifts, we watched Elf and then some football on ESPN (turns out they were playing the “Game of the Year” which they said was between Boston College and Virginia Tech. The only thing that could make that better would be hockey.
Hey…wait a second. Hockey… I get to watch the Avs on Saturday! Once more at the Pepsi Center, seeing them live :-) One day, when I’m a famous author with lots of money, I’ll get season tickets for them and the world will have acheived perfection (especially if they win the cup again). Until then…well, the world sucks and you’ll have to get used to it.
