a quick note...

going to Beaver Creek today for a concert. just made the reservations for the hotel...even though it'll be for one night. i just don't wanna drive back late tonight; sometimes it's nice to spend a night and take a leisurely drive the next day.

glad that the weather is supposed to be nice, although cold (forecast high today for Avon is 36 degrees). the last thing i wanted to do is fight snow on Vail Pass...not a pretty sight when a blizzard kicks in.

probably will be leaving at noon, which leaves me enough time to finish some laundry and blog a wee bit. we are so needing this overnighter. since lois' eye surgeries, she has had nothing but cabin fever.

so...for the past five weeks or so, we've been watching movies at home. i just returned four vids to the dvd rental kiosk at McD's. have you used it yet? the movies are a buck a night and the selection ain't bad. over the past few days, we watched Ray...The Village...I, Robot...and Friday Night Lights. this may turn into a habit at this rate ;)

of course, we've been hearing good things about Netflix too. so we may consider that if she's off work another three weeks or so.

been buying movies off of eBay too. cheapo VHS though. some of the movies aren't on DVD yet. recently was high bidder for a couple of Coen Brothers movies (Barton Fink and Miller's Crossing) and Fred Astaire movies (Barkleys of Broadway and Broadway Melody of 1940).

other than that, we've been home hermits.

talk to ya soon.
