This weekend with Jessica was great!  We got from Friday evening to this afternoon close to 5:00 together with little to no interuptions.  Wow!  Wonderful!  Fantastic!  Lets do it again next weekend!  Between great food, great time talking, great amounts of shopping and great animals, it was just… well… great!  I can’t imagine being married to anyone but this beautiful woman whom I love.

Food:

• Starbucks has a new Maple Latte.  This is a terrific autumn treat.
• Cracker Barrel Pecan Pancakes (with maple syrup).  They pile some pecans on the pan and then pour batter over them.  Whoo!  Good stuff.
• Ted’s Montana Grill had Bison ribs.  I enjoyed them a lot!
• Macaroni Grill had a well rounded Italian lentel soup.  Get this.  It has proscutto and is just warm and hearty.

Shopping

• Scored two shirts.  One a dress shirt and one a t-shirt.
• Jessica got some ear-rings and other stuff at Claire’s.  She also really wanted some stuff at this shop called White House | Black Market.
• We scored some books at Barnes & Noble
• We got two stuffed animals for the girls at the Colorado Springs Zoo

Cool other things:

• Jessica got to feed the giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo [picture of a giraffe there]
• iPods are an awesome way for us to carry way too much music on trips like this
• I scored the White Stripes album De Stijl
• Jessica listened to two of my silly rap songs that I’ve written for birthdays [2, 1] and didn’t kill me for being associated with rap
• Saw Adam Sandler’s movie ‘Click’ and was actually inspired.  Amazing.

I love my wife!  She’s awesome.  I can’t wait to be married to her for 80 years.  Speaking of which congrats to my grandparents for 60 years of marriage!
