Halloween 2008

Sadly, I concluded Halloween night with a fever of over 101 and the chills.  I tried to last as long as I possibly could, as Halloween is by far the greatest of all work-day holidays.

We spent most of the evening with our wonderful, newly-married friends, Jed and Emma Briggs (Lennon and Yoko shown here.)  Libby threw a great couples party and we're sorry we couldn't stay longer!

Gotta love Anne, but you gotta wonder what she plans to paint with her wrench...

Yes, 2008 was an historic year.  Not only did America elect their first black President, but one of our best friends actually BECAME black.  He had a hard time going back to white (pity the fool!), but at least he won $500. Ah, David. 

Halloween in Park City is like no other.  The mountains and hills make regular door-to-door trick-or-treating a bit...tricky, SO all of the stores on Main Street open their doors for a one-stop-shopping sort of Halloween.  I think it's brilliant.

They even have a doggie-parade!  I think this one needs to be mine.

Everything was fine on Main St. until Uncle Wes showed up as the Evil Pumpkin Monster...(Try to figure out which pictures are the befores and afters.)  Random children on the street are doomed to have nightmares for years.  I tried to explain to them that I grew him in my very own garden and he obeys my every command, but they didn't buy it.













The Last Hike of 2008

Enjoying one of the last warm days of the year on a Spiro Trail lookout of beautiful Park City

It must hurt to be that incredibly good-looking.

Yoga on the Spiro Trail.

TELL me about it, stud.

A River Runs Through It...in Wanship


Flyfishing with my Dad is one of my favorite activities.  A river is a certain type of therapy.  I rarely catch big fish, but it's fun watching him reel them in.  He gets an undeniable twinkle in his eye and talks about every detail of the experience for at least the next week.  I hope I can learn half of his skills and I equally hope that I can see as well as he can when I'm 60+.
