First Snow in Denver

Last night and today marked the first snow I've seen in the city of Denver. The mountains have had caps for awhile now, but I didn't think snow could accumulate until the ground cooled off. I was wrong. It seems that Colorado can receive accumulations of snow despite the fact that the previous day was warm. Consider the following... Yesterday, I was watching a football game in Boulder in 70 degree weather. This morning, I woke up to 4 inches of snow outside. In the next few days, the snow will be gone. This is all new to me, but this is how it works out here. I've heard this from every person I know who lives here, but it's different to witness it first hand. So here's my pics:

Go Rockies!

People give me crap out here for being a Cubs fan at times, but then I ask them how many Rockies games they went to this year, and they usually reply with a zero. Since, I went out to support the Rockies 2 times this year (I don't count the time they played the Cubbies), I usually get these people to shut their yaps. I just wanted to salute the Rockies and their astounding 21 wins out of the last 22 games. Way to go, and good luck in the World Series.

Knee Update

Well, it's official... I'm going under the knife. As the religious followers of this blog know, my ACL and medial meniscus are both torn. The ACL is completely torn, but the meniscus is just a partial tear. So two weeks and two days from now, they're going to go into my knee and repair the meniscus and replace my ACL with a piece of my patellar tendon. A full recovery will take 6 months. This has really cut into my social life, but I'm really glad that I'm getting this fixed. My dad is going to fly out here for the week and keep me in line, which I really appreciate. Wish me luck! Oh, and I found out that my doctor is the team doctor for a little football team out here called the Denver Broncos. YES!

I can't believe that CU beat OU

I always like to see a good upset, but I was shocked that CU came back to beat the Sooners. Having to crutch a quarter of a mile to the stadium and back was totally worth it. It was also nice to see that several other top ranked teams were beat, which put OSU up to #4 in the rankings. Way to go CU!
