Summer day

Kelley and I have had a nice day today. We are sitting on our front porch right now, in the shade. Kelley is talking with her parents. They have a nice tradition where they talk each Sunday.

I went for an early morning walk to get a newspaper. Woah, man, that's it...I am officially old...going for walks in the morning. I can't run every day since my knees won't hold up, so I go for walks more and more often it seems. I got the NY Times today, which is sort of a splurge, since the price is now $6 on Sundays.

Kelley and I attended church (via Skype...also on our front porch) then we walked downtown to have a muffin and read the paper some more. We enjoyed a lazy walk through downtown Boulder and along with our initial destination we ended up getting a birthday gift for our soon-to-be one year old niece, Ella. Kelley stopped at a few sidewalk sales but we made it out without any additional purchases (except for some candy from a gum ball machine).

We then "borrowed" the pool key from our friend Eric and laid out in the sun for a bit. That was nice.

I'm going to borrow some golf clubs this evening from my buddy John and go to the driving range because I haven't golfed since May 2008 and in a few weeks we are going to MI to have a vacation with our families. I need to loosen up a bit prior to being embarrassed by my dad and brother on the course during that trip.

Rumor is that Kelley is going to paint a bit this afternoon?

It felt good to be home today since I've been gone for most of the past 5 days. I spent 3 days travelling to/from Iowa. Then I spent 2 days at the Weld County Fair in Greeley, CO. I had an exhibit there for our wind turbines.

Kelley played in a beach volleyball tournament yesterday.

That's the news from Lake Wobegon (only people who listen to NPR and "Prarie Home Companion" will understand that last bit).

Bye for now.

David and Kelley
