Summertime ....gone gone gone.

So, once again looking out the window this early Sunday morning the 30th of August and ..once again, clouds and mist and rainy ..and COLD. for August anyway. Got me to thinkin how few weekends it seems that we have had blue skies and warm temps. Of course maybe we are on average for this kind of weatther..but it just SEEMS to me that it has been rainy and cold more often than not..now granted ...it's not radical climate change as indicated by the poster at left (from one GREAT bad/good movie!) ,or...is it?

anyway get set for FALL cuz it's comin fast! the NFL pre-season is winding down, the Rockies are making a charge, the Fall TV season is fast approaching, the State Fair is underway...yeah summer '09 is going ..going....

HiYa- I can't believe I haven't seen this before last night. This is a perfect beehive in one of my trees. I can't get over it, it looks just like a Christmas tree ornament. I am scared to do anything with it till the winter.. It's a wicked picture and is bigger in person:( EEEKKKS!

WHOA!!

The Def Leppard listening party was the shizzziit! It was like our own little private Def Leppard jam session! Then of course the concert that ROCKED!!! Thank you to Classic Transportation for hooking us up with the lilmo ride and the workforce members who made it really worth it for me! Rock On - Coda

HiYa-This past weekend I bought a boombox and went to visit one of our challenged listeners Dean.. He lives in a facility down in Pueblo and at 22 years old his life changed forever. He is now 52 and still has a severe brain injury after taking a truck head on at such an early age. He calls my show everyday and has since I started. I meant Dean 2 years ago when I went to Lowe's in Pueblo, he got his caregiver to take him out to meet me. That meant so much to both of us. Dean just recently went through a back surgery and at the moment is in a wheel chair, but I am pretty confident that he will be walking with a walker in no time at all. While I was there I meant his roommate Derrick who is in a wheel chair after losing all feeling in his legs at 13 and is now 29. It made me think that we often take each other for granted and all of the little things that we tend to make big mole hills out of are for what? We need to let the little things stay little and the big things stay big.. I thought I had a picture of my trip to see Dean but I guess I didn't save it on my cell phone, which really upsets me. I look forward to another trip to Pueblo to see my friend. Take time each day to appreciate and love the ones you are with for the worst thing ever would be to suffer and brain injury and not be the way you once were and KNOW IT!

Jay doesn't make the Cut--ler

Okay...i know its the first pre-season game and all, but STILL..how gratifying was it to see Mr I WANT A TRADE NOW Jay Cutler thrashing around in that game against Buffalo? Granted his replacement here in Denver , Kyle Orton,--ehhhh...not so much either. BUT..we didn't expect him to be "the savior" of the franchise. Cutler rolls into Chi-town with HUGE expectations...and no Brandon Marshall as well..Cutler looked confused..overthrew receivers and then (true to form) blamed one of his own Devon Hester for not making a better effort to catch a ball. ahhh yeah...Jay. no doubt dude is talented and will probably play very well...but for this first game, it was nice to see.
Still pointing toward that Aug.30th game in Denver..now that will be fun.

I'm Baaaaccckkkk!!!!

Yup, took another weeks time away. Nope, didn't make Sturgis this year, but did start out right with ZZ Top and Aerosmith (and Steven did NOT fall off the stage at Fiddler's). Wishing they could find a better way to keep ticket prices down other than charcging $9 and up for draft beer! {geesh} Spent most of it kickin around town until I went to the Hawiian Tropic State finals in Cripple Creek last Saturday. (YEAH ABABY!) Those pictures are yet to come. Rock On - Coda

HiYa~ Hope you had a nice weekend. Some of my friends and I went to the Craft Lager Festival yesterday and had a blast.. Jason bought us all pretzel necklaces and random people wanted to eat my necklace.. I shared because I am a good sport but also ate pretzels off of one side as to not mix spit with random peeps:) This picture is of me and my guy Bryan he was gracious enough to be the dd since he doesn't drink beer.. Luck for us 'cause we were smashed by the time it was over. Here is to a great week ahead.

Hey
Not only are we having to deal with that bobcat in north Colorado Springs..but now rabid skunks...So don't let the kids sleep outdoors at night and try to keep your pets in at night ..I think they should offer a reward on the skunks.

Hey Hey ..Paula

NO! say it ain't so American Idol! NOW who do we have to kick around? Paula Abdul has tweeted (don't ya love the ridiculousness of that word?) that she was unable to reach agreement on a new contract with Idol ,and now our favorite space cadet/judge will be leaving the show. The new judge from last season Kara, though, is set to return. Paula has taken her lumps over the years for being not quite "there" all the time...but lets' face it..many times that has been ALL that has made Idol watching bearable. My all time favorite Paula moment will always been when she was critiquing one contestant for a performance HE HADN"T GIVEN YET!! :)0 all time classic...so many odd comments, so many wandering remarks...it just won't be the same. and yes there were those special moments when for whatever reason Paula's synapses all fired and connections were made and something cogent and actually...instructive and intuitive was spoken! but it was mostly the "other" Paula we'll remember the most. you go girl!
