Kevin's musings

Not a good beginning for the weekend. Traffic was horrible out to the
airport. The near lot was full, so I had to park in the far away
lot. The bus there waited for-ever to fill up before leaving the
lot to head to the terminal. We must have waited close to 20min
to get moving. Got to the terminal with 44min before my
flight. 45 min is the cutoff. Talked an agent into trying to
check my bag in anyhow. Ran to the security checkpoint and it
was fucking packed. That took about 25-30min to get through. I
just missed the train to the B concourse. Got on one finally,
got to the concourse, ran off the train to the gate only to miss
the door closing about 1min before. Went and stood in line at
the customer service line and they put me on standby for the
next flight: 6:22pm. Sucky, but ok. Then, I noted that the 6:22
flight is now delayed to 7:45. And I am still only on standby. I
might not get on even then. Oh well, guess we will see what
happens. Wish me luck.

Well, uneventfull week, but hopefully a very fun weekend. It’s our
annual gathering for
TRF near Houstin.
I head out later today and meet up with folks, then tomorrow is faire
all day long. Sunday some relaxing and then head back, so it
will be a quick trip, but hopefully fun. Should have lots of
pictures and such.

Yesterday was an all greyhound day. Went out to the monthly meet and
greet at petsmart and hung out for a few hours. It wasn’t all
that crowded, so was kinda borning, but the dogs had a nice
time. We got to see Jackson the great dane as usual and got a
few people who sounded interested in adopting or fostering
greyhounds. Then it was off to the annual
Colorado Greyhound Companions
Dinner and meeting. It was nice to chat with everyone at the
group. They had a metric ton of stuff in their silent auction,
but I managed to only win one item (a greyhound color poster
with frame).

Today
sgailean
and I were supposed to meet up at
Caffe Sole
up in boulder and do a bike ride around boulder. Unfortunately he
managed to pick up some kind of bug and wasn’t feeling up to
going. So, determined to bike ride today, I went back near my
house and went to the Big Dry Creek trail. It wasn’t bad… it
was soft gravel on hard packed earth, except in a few places
where the recent rain turned it into mud or mushy gravel
fans. Probibly only went 5-6 miles, but it was a very pleasent
ride.

Here’s a link to a few
pictures of the trail
