* Woke up and went for a little hike with Mystic, which is a good way to start any day.
* Checked my mail and found I'd been sent a free copy of Day and Overnight Hikes: Rocky Mountain National Parks by fellow author and colleague Kim Lipker. Not only is it a cool book in its own right, yours truly has a blurb on the back of the book! I'm somebody!
* I found out that my interview with Erik Weihenmayer (blind Mount Everest and seven summits climber) has been upgraded from a feature story to this Thursday's cover story in the Boulder Weekly. This makes it my second Weekly cover story along with "Greekies" piece.
* Got to sneak out of work to go for a bike ride with the Big Boss here at Natural Habitat Adventures. I had a pretty good ride but of the 3 of us, I was the Wyatt Earp of the group (IE the only one to emerge unscathed). One of us spent the ride puking on the side of the trail, the other flew over his handlebars and broke his chain. The names of the innocent have been withheld because frankly, I like my job.
* Had my first Ultimate Frisbee games with the new team, but there were 5 no-shows meaning no subs. We lost 11-5 but I like my team mates and I had a decent showing, throwing for 2 of our points and catching 2 more. And no, I'm not a disk hog (far from it) I just so happened to have a decent game. The second game was called cause of lightning.
* And most importantly, after 30+ hours of no-production, Mystic finally pooped. May not sound like a big deal to you but I was wondering what was taking him so long (and hoping he didn't dump in my house). I was able to sleep peacefully knowing he wasn't clutching his sphincter in the wee' hours of the morning.
