Fun Times in the Fall

Last weekend was a good one...JW2 was in town to go see Coldplay (alas, no free tiks for me ala NKOTB) so we hung out on Saturday and had breakfast, did a little shopping and then went to see a documentary that my old friend Aaron (and Jess' brother) worked on.  It was called They Killed Sister Dorothy and was being shown at the Denver Film Festival.  It was really a powerful thing on many levels, both in story and in seeing the impact film works such as this one can truly have.  We all got a little excited when Aaron's name rolled in the credits.  The documentary is short-listed for an Oscar and if you get an opportunity to see it, I'd highly recommend it.  We ended the day with a stop at the neighborhood gellato place and I had pinapple upside down gellato...yummy.

 

Saturday night I watched OU absolutely obliterate Texas Tech.  That's what I get for wanting OU to win something...I needed them to win by about 3 points and instead, they won by about 70...they'll always find a way to screw you in the end, those Sooners. 

 

Sunday was a Bubbly Wine Club Brunch in Boulder!  I'm bummed I didn't bring my camera, but we had a delicious feast (I think Julie deserves the award for best food thus far at a wine club event, especially considering she almost burned her fingers off) and lots of bubbly...needless to say, champagne in the morning does not a productive afternoon make.

 

It's hard to believe it's Thanksgiving week already!  Thanksgiving is even more awesome this year, as Texas plays Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night.  Somehow the aggies have managed to beat us the past two years.  Lots on the line this year though, so we need to win and win BIG.  All I know is I'm glad Obama is convinced a college football playoff is the only solution to the disaster known as the BCS...I know he has a lot on his plate, but I'm hoping it makes it into his agenda for the first 100 days.
