Land of Cleves and other rants
Boy, I just really don’t like Cleveland much any more. Funny what a few months in mild sunny weather will do for ya!
Spent the last week or so out in flatland with the family and Ms Erin. Was really great to be back for the family/friends aspect, as I miss them all terribly, but the city itself and being back in Ohio just really really sapped me.
Cousin Tammy’s wedding was last saturday, a good time was had by all. Good people, good food, good times. She seemed super happy, and not too stressed like I’ve seen at other weddings. Good stuff, and got to spend some time with the other cousins which was really cool.
Also got to spend some time w/ Randy and Emily on Sunday, and the new baby who’s name is Kalia – she’s gorgeous, and so tiny!
Not much else to the trip…Turned everyone on to some tasty green chile, and had a really nice fondue dinner w/ Mom, Sis, and Erin. Had a few way to drunken evenings, and found a really nice cognac called Navan that’s made from black vanilla orchids…mmm mmm good!
All in all a great trip, but I am glad to be back out west again in what is now home.
And, there’s tons of snow falling in CO! Though, not much here yet, but both SF and Taos I believe are trying to open for T-day. We’ll see. In the meantime, I might just have to schlep myself back up to summit county…3 feet out of the last storm and hasn’t stopped falling yet…Should have my gear back from the Bootdoctors saturday morning…We’ll see!
