Last weekend, Rob, Randy and Eric (friends from Calvin) came out to Denver for a bachelor weekend. Granted the wedding is still 4 months away, but this was the best time to meet up with just the guys since I was on Spring Break and the guys were all able to take off for the weekend. We did the usual tourist things like visit the Coors brewery, check out Red Rocks, go hiking, and wander around Boulder etc. We also went up to Copper for a day of skiing and had some beautiful weather! All of these activities were naturally accompanied by intellectual conversation, most of which centered on Libertarianism and Rob's new Paleolithic diet. We toasted to crony capitalism as we tuned in live to the health care reform vote in the House on Sunday evening.
All the while Amanda was dog sitting for her boss at our house, so she was able to keep a close eye on us :) Oliver is a combination of a Yorkie and a Terrier and weighs only about 5 lbs, but tries to act as if he's a tough dog... even though he was afraid of his own food dish! It was fun to have something resembling a dog in the house for a weekend. If anyone else has a dog that they would like us to dog sit for a while, I think Amanda would be happy to do so. Plus, if we do this often enough then we won't feel the need to buy our own dog and have to deal with all the extra expenses and hassles that go along with the pleasures of owning a dog!
Anyway, my Spring Break is now coming to a close, and I'm trying to get ready for the coming week. My parents are in town for the weekend as well, although right now they're down in Texas visiting my brother Justin for his 30th birthday. Only nine more weeks till summer break, but who's counting!
