Winter Escape Plan Stymied By Snow

It's freaking snowing out tonight. In the words of Michael Cody, "... ... aghhhhh..."

Well anyway. While Alie spent a few hours today driving a support vehicle for some pro guy's training ride (hooray for a job!!), Oli and I spent more time shopping on Pearl Street. A few hats, dresses, shoes, soaps, toys, and tea-straining travel mugs later... oh boy... well, Alie rescued our wallets from Pearl Street and we went home.

Our 5:00 bike ride was abruptly ended, yet again, by the very strong winds around here... but today it started snowing too! So instead we spent some time in the hot tub, and after dinner made some ice cream floats in our Porter's Double Chocolate Stout beverages. ahhhh tasty.

All in all, a good day again. We also thought we'd share some deep thoughts with you:

Amy and Oli, recounting the story of accepting beverages from a stranger on Pearl Street today:
Alie: "So wait - you guys drank tea that some random guy came up and offered you on the street??"
Amy: "Alie. For the same reason that you need to accept beer when it's offered to you in the feed zone of a bike race, you need to accept tea from a stranger on the street when he's pouring it from a blue porcelain teapot."

Oli, on being sad to have missed the trip to California this winter:
Oli: "I mean, I love Paul and everything; he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. But you guys are the second best thing that's ever happened to me."

Stay in Boulder with us Oliiiiiii!!!!!!!!!
