posted by Andy: Here's some pics from the last couple weeks. My mom visited from Michigan for 4 days, and we had a great time - hitting some local restaurants, touring Castle Rock, and a great day at Octoberfest with the Rues and Nicole. Keri has a great post of Octoberfest here.
Kristy and I also went to the Rockies/Phillies playoff games last week. This was my first time at an MLB playoff game and, well, I can only hope the next time will be better. The first game started at 8:00 PM on a Sunday night, and tied a record for coldest playoff game EVER - below 30 for most of the game. It finished after midnight (got home around 2 am), with the Rockies closer blowing the game. The next day the Rockies blew a 2 run lead in the 9th. It felt like a bad dream - everyone was tired and cranky and it all ended so fast after a great season. I have a new approach to supporting sports teams. After being a Cubs fan for over 30 years, I have finally been enlightened. As with financial portfolio management, it pays to diversify. I have thus decided to cheer for every team except the Oakland Raiders, White Sox, Ohio State, and any competitive organization from New York. I'm practically guaranteed to have one of "my teams" win something at some point. Oh well there's always next year.
