Spidey!!

I got to see Spiderman today! Even though most of the morning and afternoon I was pretty miserably stuffed up and headachy... we decided to let Joan take Jet with her on her errands with Alex and Haley and we went to see Spiderman with a bunch of work folks.

It was *fun*, and it was good to the spirit of the original books.

( Almost-spoilers under the hood )

A warm welcome...

... to incandescens, whose creativity and care has warmed many days of mine. It's very cool to be back in contact and, this time, to know what's going on in *her* life.

Blessed Rain

It rained.

All of yesterday evening, all night, and then, again, all morning. Before the night was over, though there was also an inch or two of heavy, super wet snow as well, and, for a little while, the world was white and grey and beautiful. There was thirteen inches of the white stuff in Estes Park this morning.

Snow a few days before Memorial Day. Wow.

We needed it, though, and all the wet really helped the firefighters out with a huge forest blaze south of Denver. Though the snow made for a really slippery, muddy and pretty awful fire fighting scenario, at least it dampened all the trees, grass, and underbrush around there, thoroughly.

And the next week looks like it's going to produce a few good thunderstorms. So I'm hoping. I always hope for rain, but with the below average precip of the winter, everyone around here is hoping for rain and water, especially all the farmers out around us.

Oh, yeah!

And to everyone that's been following the Jet sleeping saga, he actually slept all night last night and only got up *once* to nurse and just go back to sleep again. On the futon. Hee. He now knows it's where he sleeps and when John brings Jet upstairs to go to bed, he walks over to the futon, crawls onto it and goes to sleep on the pillows and blankets in whatever position he most likes. Hoorah!
