Upon waking every so often, a craving greets the day. Most of the time it can be handled easily with french toast and coffee but others are a bit more of demanding and call for a bit more production. Enter the cheeseburger fairies, bringing dreams of a homemade burger with cheese on an bakery made onion roll with all the fixin's. At first I thought that we'd visit the brewery below our loft. They make great burgers honestly, even bison ones (only in the West right?) It turns out bison burgers are top notch, in case one every crosses your plate. And then I remembered the small little grill that I bought on sale at McGuckin's hardware in Boulder when I was living with my Dad, step-mom and fam, before I moved to Denver with AMC. A small grill was on sale that day a few years back and I got fantasies of apartment life where I'd go somewhere to grill up tastiness. And, just 3 years later or so, it came true. Just in time for old man winter to wake up and sprinkle us with 22 degree tempuratures. burr right? That's why it's SUCH a lucky thing for me that AMC is a southern Colorado cowboy (as I call him) and that he is the one that actually does the grilling out there. But, I think he's feeling like the lucky one because after seeing the Bronco's win yesterday, he got completely geared up, grabbed a cigar and the meats, and headed up to the roof, which is one of his favorite places.

In still other updates, don't you sometimes feel when you wake up on a Sunday, you feel like luxuriously lazy? Like breakfast and the couch fits the bill? And other Sundays, you wake up feeling antsy, right? So very, who cares about the snow? Who cares if it's 22 degrees, let's get out and about! That was us yesterday. So, we took a December morning drive over to Washington Park, which could be called the Central Park of Denver.

| it was very white all around us. white, white, white. |
 |
| only in Colorado. a 50 year old guy taking a Sunday morning cross country ski in the park. |
 |
| watched a bit of the animal channel with real life geese. there were territorial disputes. |
 |
| quite winter wonderlandish. |
And since we were literally in the neighborhood, we did a little drive by our favorite house in Denver. So dreamy.
 |
| we hope they invite us to their next party so we can see the inside. |
the end. for now.
