Weekly Report from Boulder
Yes, another busy week around here. I'm finally catching up on movies so saw both the Barbarian Invasions (excellent, touching, funny, and sensitive look at death and the choices we make when it is our time) and Hidalgo (a fun romp through the desert with a nice nod to the traditional cultures in the US and northern Africa - they were allowed to speak in Lakota and Arabic - nothing deep but certainly entertaining.)
Thursday afternoon we had a nice visit from Katrinka of Rounder with Canadian singer/songwriter Sarah Harmer. She played some lovely songs on the air and I answered one caller asking her if she would sing for him on his album project. Then we talked hockey for a bit. Thursday night I made it to the Boulder Theater to see Karsh Kale. He seems to be a fine tabla player but spent far more of the time playing a traditional drum kit or using prerecorded material. A fun show for dancing, but just to listen to it didn't quite make the grade for me.
Yesterday I was out and got home to a call from Bert that his flight from Boston to San Francisco had landed in Denver. So he made it up for an unexpected visit and flew straight home today. Good thing I was already cooking so had dinner ready when he got to my place!
One friend had given me a lot of grief for going to see the Avalanche when their home losing streak began. We made up for it by going on Friday when they had a decisive victory over San Jose. Sadly, Mike Ricci was not playing and we laughed with the women behind us who also liked to come see him play. We can still enjoy watching a former Avs player like Ricci, but in LA they boo Rob Blake who gave them many great years of play. Well my friend got his comeuppance when he went to a losing rout on the Avs yesterday, and tonight I see they are taking it back the other direction. They've got a month to settle down before playoffs start!
