Well, my folks were out, for the main thing — arriving mid-day Thursday, leaving early Tuesday morning. No CoH, but plenty of other fun-filled activities:<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nWhile Kitten was in school, the folks and Margie and I did 9 holes on the executive Par 3 at South Suburban<\/a>. Well, that was the plan. Margie got stuck doing Work work, and missed out. I played pretty respectably (a 41 on the Par 27), and netted many more balls from the partially-full water hazards than I lost.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
\nBig fun in the morning was going swimming. Kitten was in hog heaven, and everyone had a good time.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon\/evening, we hosted the Testerclan over — Jackie, Justin, Kaylee, Doyce’s mom, Doyce’s sister, and Doyce’s niece and nephew. Randy and Stan were there, too. Doyce evidently made the mistake of lying down for a nap and never quite making it back up again. Burrito bar in the kitchen and a good time had by all.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>
\nAfter church, headed up<\/a> to Rocky Mountain National Park<\/a> and Trail Ridge Road. Much alpine scenic beauty, with occasional glimpses of elk and moose. A long trip, but a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

On the way home, we pinged Stan for suggestions of somewhere in Boulder to eat. He suggested Sunflower<\/a>, but we decided it was a bit too … organic for us. We ended up at Trattoria on Pearl<\/a>, which was duly nummy.<\/p>\n

Katherine crashed on the way home, and after I got her upstairs to bed and to sleep, I quickly followed. It was a long drive and a long day.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong>
\nDad and I played golf at Littleton<\/a> (formerly Centennial, renamed since it’s not in the city of Centennial as subsequently constituted) with Doyce. Nine holes, par 31 — and not so good results. I ended up with a 52, despite a par and a couple of bodies, largely due to a couple of really godawful holes. Driving was actually remarkably good, as was some of the chipping and pitching, but the middle game and the putting was nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n

So need to play more …<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, I took the ‘rents to Best Buy to discuss digital cameras<\/a>. I think the plan they ended up with was to get a digital with a decent zoom on it (like my recently-purchased-and-currently-in-Africa-with-the-in-laws Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20S<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After that, Margie (who’d been slaving away on actual Work work) joined us for a game of miniature golf<\/a> — which she proceeded to win at, huzzah. Kitten<\/a> had a pretty good time, too. <\/p>\n

Head home, have a nice steak dinner, watch some Nero Wolfe<\/a><\/em>, and call it a night.<\/p>\n

So, overall, a fun weekend, albeit a bit exhausting — despite being able to sleep in, I feel like I’ve been running at high speed the whole time. Back to a fairly normal schedule this week — except for taking the ‘rents to the airport on Tuesday morning, flying on a one-day business trip to Pasadena on Wedensday, and getting back into the CPG rehearsal schedule Thursday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah, and hopefully some time with Margie, and a bit of CoH, too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
