Life, it be the good thing


Some days, I feel pretty darn swell.

Denver is in the midst of perfect weather. Oh, how I luuurrve my Denver in autumn. Despite the fact that the Rockies lost in an appalling defeat last night in the first game of the World Series, I have a spring in my step and a smile on my face. Perhaps the boys wearing the black and purple are less springy today, but so it goes.

Life is good.

We are considering a trip to Pennsylvania for the holidays. It's time the Porter grandparents take a gander at their grandchild. There was much rejoicing when my folks finally spent time with Amos. I can't wait for that to happen with Phil's family. I'm hoping we can get flights and such. Low airfares are hard to come by, and we lack the dollars to pay for them. Bleah.

A population boom has been happening within our circle of friends, particularly in PA. All of these old Clarion University chums of Phil's have suddenly decided to breed. Yay! I wasn't much of a celebrator of children in my previous life, but now that I know the joys of creating offspring, I spill forth with happiness at the thought of our friends experiencing the same. These folks are in their mid to upper 30s. It's a crazy thing to see friends through a good portion of their adult lives, only to suddenly find them carrying precious bundles. Life is strange sometimes. Good, but strange.

Toot toot toot. We should take a walk today in the glorious sunshine...

Good luck with getting cheap flights.

I can't really say anything about a population boom, the girls I went to highschool with all had babies before me (yes v v young) and now all my friends I have met because of Amy.

Sunshine, glorious sunshine, it is finally spring here YAY!

Dangit, another beautiful day, and we failed to squeeze in a sunshiny walk. Tomorrow for sure. Then maybe we'll work on airfare. Amos was great on the car trip to Texas, but I doubt any of us are up for road-tripping it to PA.

We had many sunshiny day plans recently... but then we had no sunshiny days. Rain for 4 days! Blah. That rain killed lake, hiking, and Zoo trips... *shakes fists in air*

I hope you get good fares - we are hoping to hit TX sometime before the New Year, ourselves.

And, uh... Phil should be able to click "other" and fill in his name. Unless he enjoys the thrill of anonymity. At least until he signs his name at the bottom....

I waited till the 2nd game to mention the baseball, so far so good. But there is still enough time for the Redsox to throw it away.

As long as the Rockies win one game, I will be happy. I have a secret up my sleeve...

what is the secret?
