Winter is Coming

Friday afternoon, I went over to my buddy Lu Ann's house to drink some coffee and watch Miranda, the British sitcom starring Miranda Hart.  One of her (Lu Ann) and Chris's dogs, Hank, came over to rest his head in my lap and get pets.

He's a photogenic little thing, despite looking like the dog equivalent of a piggy.

We went out to dinner after, Lu Ann, Chris, David and me, to have dim sum. The owner of the dim sum place, Han, chided us for not eating more.

Saturday, Dave had a clarinet lesson in the morning and then we had about two and a half hours to kill before we were supposed to attend his teacher's clarinet recital so we took a drive up to the crest.

I didn't get a single good picture of the drive up or down.

The foliage is changing color, all the aspens are golden right now, which of course is beautiful. There's a crop of pinon right now, too, so every few miles there would be cars parked on the side of the road so that people could go off and pick pinon.

We had just enough time to drive up, turn around, and drive back down. We hoovered a quick lunch at the Greek restaurant and went to Keller Hall along with twenty-five other people, to listen to some music.

That was the audience as the lights were being brought down just before the performance.

On the way out of the theater, I took a picture of this sculpture by Luis Jimenez.

Fiesta Jarabe

I love this thing. It makes me happy whenever I see it.

After we left the recital, we went by the studio. Dave had some bowls to trim and I underglazed some pieces that came out of the last kiln. We chatted with Judi and Paul for awhile and took Crunch for a walk. We didn't stay too long.

At home, Dave fed the worms and then fed himself a quesadilla and some veggies. I had some cheese and crackers and then went to bed.
