Before and After
My beautiful wife got a lot of hair chopped off this past week. She cut enough off that she was able to donate about a foot of hair to a non-for-profit organization that will use the hair to make wigs for cancer patients...I think that's really cool.

Go Buffs!
It has been awhile since we've posted to the blog so we're playing a bit of catch up...
...a couple of weekends ago we experienced our first University of Colorado Football game ever. It seemed that since it is the 6th football season for which I've been a student at CU (I know it should be U of C, but everyone says "CU".....I don't like it either) it was time we took in a game.
Upon walking into the stadium Becky said to me, "This is it?" She was referring to how small the stadium is. The CU football stadium holds about 55,000 fans, but the only college football game she had ever been to was at the Big House, so in comparison this place looked like kind of a joke. Our football stadium isn't the biggest, but I'm guessing it has one of the best views of any stadium in the country.
At the beginning of both halves they run Ralphie the buffalo around the stadium. This is quite intense and is amazing to see live. The runners have been seriously injured in the past when everything did not go exactly as planned.
It was a beautiful day for a game and CU had a come-from-behind 34-27 win. Perhaps we should officially become CU Buffalo fans since my team (Syracuse) and Becky's team (Michigan) probably won't do much of interest this season.

A 5-Star Weekend
This past Sunday Becky and I had the amazing opportunity to spend a night at the Broadmoor, a 5-Star resort in Colorado Springs. We would normally not be able to afford such luxurious accommodations but our good friends PJ and Kersta invited us to join them for a drastically reduced rate. It was the first time we had been there and it was very impressive.
Some of you may have seen this AP photo from a few weeks ago when the US Senior Open was held at the Broadmoor. We did not encounter any bears while we were there.
Becky and I posing in front of the lake. Becky is wearing what I called her "rich lady" hat ($5 at Old Navy).
The view from our room.
We spent much of our time on Sunday and Monday at the pool.
We had a great time hanging out with all of the 5-year-olds at the pool taking turns going down one of two very cool slides.
