spooking girlfriend

I am getting better and better at chopping wood. I do much better when I don't have Mongolians watching me, which makes 6:30 am a very good time. The sun is just coming up, the air is crisp and cool (ie freezing, but lets stay positive!) and my spirits are up. I have really come to love mornings here. (Please still be my friend Gabb, we can like different things...)

I drank the last of my Horizons Organic Vanilla Milk boxes on the way to work today. (listening to Elvis Costello and smiling at the sunshine) It was so good I couldn't even be sad it was the last one.

I broke my extension cord today. My sunglasses were all fogged up and I stepped on the plug. Oh well, off to the market I go.

One of my school's staff members passed away today. I didn't know the person. Without sounding too self-centered, I really hope I don't do anything culturally inappropriate.

Anyway, I love this having internet thing! And I miss you all.

love, C

Yep, snow is back. I KNEW it. But this week-end it will be 60 degrees again. I love Colorado. I need to run at least three days a week. Today is not one of those days. I'm going to run the stairs at Red Rocks. I just love that that is a park AND a venue. AND I live close by.
This week is super-hectic, with a concert every night, including big, BIG orchestra concert, with a triple concerto, and The Planets, which is sold out. A loose term, since tickets are free. But I have the week-end off, since those concerts are all students, and I can have a student work them. Brother Charlie and his lovely wife are having a Halloween party. That will be fun. And I really must finish all outdoor projects. How many times must the snow warn me, really?
Sorry if my posts are self-absorbed. I figured you want news from over this way, so that is what is happening in my world today. I'm thinking of hosting Thanksgiving at my house. I can get an 8' table from work. Time is moving rapidly, so I think about these things already.
I hope I hope you are feeling better. I'll bet you are better at chopping wood than I am! But not better than Greg. I think he is really good at it.
I love you!

I suppose we'll just have to have other things in common :)
Way to be die hard though!

Love,

btw, sorry I missed your phone call! I was in "show-mode", couldn't pause. Yes, the International school at DU is outstanding, and well-regarded. It's now called the Korbel school, after Madeleine Albright's father, who was deeply involved. I've been trying to find a class there that fits my schedule, which I can take for free. If I adopt you, you can go there at a 90% discount!

Madam says hi as does mr speck and mr lore. they all love you. this weekend -if alex doesnt go hunting- we may go to a movie, with maggie and tyler which should be great fun. hahahah di hahaha.
Thinking of you always,
Madi<3
