Some days, the hardest part is coming up with the song at the top of the page. Today I had to give up and try something new. It's today's theme, after all.
It was fun while it lasted. The first three football games of the season, kicking butt and getting national attention. Then the ghosts of Buffs past moved in, and it has been same old, same old. Time to start dreaming of next year.
I didn't end up waking up repeatedly through the night to look for snow. Good thing I didn't bother. There was barely a dusting when I finally did get up. And as I alluded to last night, the heaviest snow seemed to skip us and head down to the Palmer Divide, between Colorado Springs and Castle Rock. I suppose there is still a chance for some accumulation here besides on the grass, but mostly the roads just got wet and it barely even piled up on the cars. On the bright side, it didn't break any of our trees that still have leaves on them.
There was a Halloween parade downtown. Our kids like to go to that, in their family themed costumes. This year's theme was the Princess Bride. My daughter and son-in-law bought well-made Westley and Buttercup costumes, and they did a good job making the kids into Inigo Montoya and Fezzik. Unfortunately, it was so cold the babies couldn't walk around. Even huddled under blankets in their stroller-wagon, they were freezing and miserable. Valerie recovered like a champ, but Dmitri was left cranky for the rest of the day. It seems like maybe more teething, the way he was difficult to console. I hope that was the whole problem. I hope it wasn't a reaction to the cold. The little dude will have a wretched time growing up in Colorado if he doesn't adapt early on.
