My precious is back. AND it now has 2GB of memory which is more than enough memory to run Aperture. I’ll be posting my photos soon, as soon as I have a free hour or so browse through them myself, and hopefully sometime in the near future I might even be able to post some that I have edited in Aperture - that might take a while for me to learn though so be patient please!

In other news, gale force winds are blowing through Ft Collins today. Not feeling like I wanted to be blown off my bike today, I opted to stay in on the trainer. I only had to ride an hour focusing on high cadence and with this wind it might have been difficult to even turn over 80 rpm’s in the 25 outside! On the trainer I was able to keep my cadence between 115 and 120 the entire hour - spin, baby, spin!

In other other news, Chris and Karyn (Ben’s colleagues) and Ben and I went to Boulder to see Alexi Murdoch (aka Nick Drake) at the Fox Theater Wed night. Before the show we had a pretty good Mexican dinner at Mamacitas (mmm, mole enchiladas) which is also known for having good margaritas. I hate, HATE tequila so I opted for the Mojito only to be told that they didn’t have mint so I was SOL. Ah, the food was good anyway.

Alexi put on a good show, although I don’t ever recommend seeing him when you are tired. He plays great music and he’s entertaining but his music is very mellow - definitely mood music. If you remember the song “Pink Moon” by Nick Drake that was played in the VW commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lSKUL_n6c0) a few years ago, well, that is what Alexi sounds like. Good stuff but soft spoken vocals and acoustic guitar. The Fox Theater was just the right place to see him - intimate and cozy.
