Friday night lights (and before) ~ day #2

I walked here yesterday morning, around Marcia's condo. All
very beautiful and tranquil with lots of nice touches like this.
Here is Marcia and her Porsche. (She also has a large Suburban which
we took for our nighttime sporting events.) We drove in the Porsche
to Boulder yesterday, in the sunshine.
Walking around the campus was an experience. If I had about a day,
and a map, I think I could figure it all out. I was not overcome by
nostalgia, just realized how fortunate I was to be able to come to
Colorado for my education. The buildings haven't changed and
the grounds are exquisite. Boulder itself is almost chaotic with car
traffic, bicycles and students on their cell phones. The campus,
exceedingly peaceful and lush with grass and trees.
I spent many hours here at the Library.
This pathway looked so familiar, I think I walked it many, many times.

I spent too many hours here chugging 3.2 beer.

Last night we went to a football game about an hour from Denver. I
had not been to one of these since I was in high school and it was fun.
The game moved quickly and the cheerleaders in the foreground were
a delight. It was a little cold but we bundled up and yelled "go Bruins!"
and won 44 to 18, or like that. I hadn't seen my godson Greg in about
20 years, so that was a pleasure indeed. And his sons, pictured below.

A busy day, but I so enjoyed every minute of it. Because Marcia is a
race car driver, she doesn't mind getting behind the wheel and she is
one of those rare GREAT drivers even during strange and heavy
traffic. She is always calm and focused. Even coming home last night
around 11pm there was heavy traffic ~ this surprised me! Things,
they change...
