It seems like fall has just begun to fly by. Maybe it's a combination of the ground I've covered and of time itself. I can't believe it's mid-October.
Sunday was my last day in Boulder. Eli and I went to a coffee shop on Pearl St, which was designed by the same dude that did Church St in Burlington. It really made me feel like things are going to be just great when I finally do get back to Vermont. The snow and mountains and people in Colorado were great mental preps for home. These simple, little things are what reminded me why I love Vermont. Not to mention that Sunday night we ventured out to a farmhouse for a feast of freshly harvested squash, great wine and some cookies. There were two kittens to play with and easy going people. Happy People.
Colorado had been everything I hoped. I will recommend that everyone watch 'The Onion' movie, I'm not sure if it has a different name but it's hilarious, and 'That's it, That's all', it's a phenomenal snowboard movie.
I hit the road early on Monday morning, it was still dark and I had to brush snow and ice off of my car. Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas. Perhaps the only things worth mentioning were the worlds largest Czech painted egg and 'The Hometown of Carrie Underwood'. I spent the night in a Super 8 watching 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' and eating microwave popcorn.
Free breakfast the next morning and Arkansas, Tennessee, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I, Alabama, Georgia. Which brings me to Elizabeth. Gosh it is so nice to be here! Last night we drank wine and chattered our heads off before going out to the bar. I realized I haven't really done the bar scene with anyone that I've visited... I totally miss it. So we talked with rando's and listened to bad karaoke; feels like home. After the bar closed we went to a pizza shop that is yet to be open and drank Keystone in the completed kitchen, sitting on counters and talking with the guys who are working on opening up the spot. Elizabeth's friends are good folk, for sure.
From what I've seen, Gainesville is spectacular. I don't know if I can call the mix of people "eclectic", but it is definitely unique. Elizabeth's house is fucking adorable. She had to go to work this afternoon, so I'm catching up on my correspondences and drinking too much coffee. Tonight we shall bar hop and rampage and continue to tell high school stories. It's been two years since my BFFFFFF*inF has been home, so we're having no qualms with being OOC (out of control). Rockin' It.
Stay tuned...
