Rolling along

We took Abe to see a full size Thomas the Tank Engine.  Yes, there actually is a full size Thomas.  Probably several.  They hold events like this across the country.  And I'm sure they rake in the cash.

Abe said that he had fun.  Of course, he also said that his favorite part was watching the videos in the tent.  He didn't want to get a tattoo so my wife got one instead.

It’s part of summer

Our development has a pool.  We pay for it via our home-owner's association dues.  Sometimes it is open.  Most of the time it is closed because the developer who put it in obviously suffers from a severe intelligence deficiency.

Anyway, my wife took Abe swimming last night.  There are some pictures at www.abers.com .  I've also linked the image below to a .MOV clip of Abe swimming.

Tasty

There is a reason I weigh 800 pounds.  Okay, there are several reasons.  The best one is that my wife is a FANTASTIC cook.

Last night, she whipped up some chicken scallopini:

Yes, I took a picture of my food.  It was worthy of being saved for posterity. 

Nice

Breckenridge

We had a nice time in Breckenridge this past weekend. It was where my wife wanted to go.  We left Abe with one of the sets of grandparents and enjoyed a peaceful, relaxing time.  We both really missed Abe and it was good to get back.

The Breckenridge area is quite beautiful and the weather was great.  Highs were in the 60s or 70s and lows were in the 40s.  We spent some time walking on trails in the mountains and my wife spent a surprisingly small amount of money.

We visited the Barney Ford Museum and the Country Boy Mine and both were very interesting.  We also saw a play at the Backstage Theater.  It had probably been years since I sat through an entire production as audience member.

I've added a link on the sidebar to pictures .

Another greenlight on Fark.com !

I'm creeping up on half a dozen.  I think I found a decent way to uncover newly published articled. I believe this has been key to my success.  Or maybe the Fark Administrators are just being kind.

Oh, and Meatloaf is awful.
