Here are some photos of my apartment and the surrounding area. This attempted panorama is the view from my balcony porch thingy.
Last weekend, Scott and Tricia stopped in while on their way to the West coast. We went hiking in those foothills at the Lory State Park and we saw a BEAR! I told a guy at work the following week, and he told me that he saw a bear in town. It climbed a tree in front of some historical house downtown and fell asleep. Apparently its not all that uncommon. But what I have to watch out for, he said, was mountain lions. He showed me a website that collects accounts of cougar attacks and it was terrifying.
My bedroom is not complete yet. I'm gonna get a drawing table and chest of drawers at some point.
This table was given to me by the Mark and Emily Brieve, who encouraged me to paint it. Colorado is home to the lots of fossils, so that's what I put on my new table. I designed it such that, when all the leaves are added, it still forms a cohesive image (multiple fossils). I think I'll post more on this later.
A sock monkey made by Kyle as part of his Civil Engineering grad school work? Some fake plants may be joining him soon, up there in his loft.
This last photo is of a little something I keep on my refrigerator to brighten my day. I found this in a pile of litigation stuff when I worked at Kinkos. I made a little copy for myself and you as well. Enjoy!

Your apartment looks a lot "cooler" than mine. Actually it looks like its brand new.
Nice find.
I like it.
Send me your address when you get a sec.
holy crap! you're living in one sweet apartment over there...I had no idea!
Is it true that the area is swarming with yuppies and old hippies? That's what dad told me.
your "project" (i use this word loosely) is coming along, slowly but surely. i've got a lot more on my plate right now than i anticipated. don't fret though, it's coming.
Nice apartment. Liz says you should add a socktopus to your collection (don't worry -- she'll make one for you). Also, what's with all the hand towels in the bathroom? I realize you're probably making a good salary, but that just seems to be flaunting it.
Oh yeah -- and your table kicks ass. I think you could have yourself a good business idea there...
So seeing a bear is just no big deal huh? It was still the highlight of our trip!
One other thing that we saw quite a bit of on the way out here that I thought was sweet - Wind Farms!
