The Bear

Joan when she visits Denver and passes by the convention center just loves the sculpture of the bear (left).



So on her birthday she found this bear in her retreat (right).

My Hybrid

I recently purchased a trailer for my bicycle for shopping to offset the high cost of gasoline. However, as this is a trailer for passengers other cyclist expect to see one. When they don't, I get a disaproving look. So in response to the shame I posted pictures on the windows, not unlike those on little tin toy cars I used to get as a child from Japan. I am sure this solves my shame problem.

Aunt Jill and Maggie

Jill and Maggie made a brief trip out to pick up a new dog, Gina. They dropped by and while Jill went out to Palasade to pick up Gina, Maggie and I toured the yarn shoppes.

Yondan Test

Jim recently was tested for 4th level black belt, Yondan, at Boulder Aikikai Dojo, an Aikido Dojo. It was a lot of adventure, and fun for all. Not bad for an old guy.
