a weekend away

i'm sitting in the Kansas City airport. drinking some Starbucks, waiting for a plane to Denver (thank you KCI for having free Wi-Fi!) . a fun graham fact: i was born in Denver. i lived there 3 months before the family up and moved to Germany. i can't remember the last time i've been to Denver... or Colorado for that matter... so it's a bit of a homecoming. no, not really.

i'm still excited!

in Denver, my friend Rachel is picking me up and we're joining up with a carload from Lawrence at the tourist trap/mexican restaurant Casa Bonita. i LOVE mexican food, but cliff divers... magic shows... i'm sure i'll have a strong opinion in a few hours.

after the, err, entertainment, we're heading off to Winter Park to join up with my old roommate & good friend, JD, for a weekend of snowboarding, hearts with consequences, and hopefully some hours in a coffee shop. pretend like i havent researched what coffee shops are in WP... i think i'm more excited for that than i am snowboarding!
