ASE

ASE is the airport code for the Aspen airport.  It is a nice little facility which is very customer-friendly.  You can back right up to the curb by the "Arrivals" door, park there and walk away for 30 minutes (or more).  I dropped off Mrs. White this morning and picked up Prema's bag which arrived on the last flight of the day yesterday.  I'll be back there at least two more times today to pick up Uncle Matthew and Aunt Christine who will be visiting for about five days.  Ammachey and Appachen (Prema's parents) will also arrive today.


I just cooked a couple of eggs, sunny-side up, for Maya on the .....

Had to drop everything to take a call from Mr. Kantor who was expecting Maya at 9:30 this morning.  We had her scheduled for a 10:30 appointment with him and upon reviewing the email we had received we did have the right time but, oh well.  We were out the door in about four minutes and at the "studio" in 13 minutes.  All turned out well.

So, I was going to mention that there is a gas stove here at the condo.  We have an all-electric house in RC but Prema is having some changes made in the kitchen while we are here in Aspen (new counters and cabinets) and is replacing the old appliances.  One big change will be a switch to a gas stove.  That should be nice.  I hope it is all completed by the end of August.

After we returned from the music campus Prema and I walked over to the bookstore and bakery.  The bookstore seems to have an much greater assortment of math and science books than Borders in RC.  I suspect this is because of the local Aspen Center for Physics.  They also have a robust music section.  We just browsed for about 20 minutes then picked up a couple loaves of day-old bread.



Above is a shot of Maya with Mr. Kantor.  We are all very fortunate to have him as Maya's teacher this summer.

Here is Prema sitting outside the studio room, eavesdropping.

Life should be calm for another five hours or so after which I'll start making trips to the airport.
