Week 4

We are now into our fourth week in Aspen and really feeling like we know our way around.  Today we did discover something new which we had never seen here nor anywhere else, a "Thumbing Station".  We are fortunate that this location is only a couple of blocks from the condo.

There's that shirt again!















Yesterday evening we took a stroll into town and I noticed this large popcorn stand which is currently out-of-service due to remodeling in the area.  Abe is a popcorn-lover so is extremely anxious for the business to start popping.

Yesterday I mentioned the Wheeler Opera House.  Here is a photo of the building.  Notice the proximity to the infamous town fountain, an easy five-minute walk from the condo.

Tonight we are going to have a delicious skillet meal at the condo then walk to the music tent to hear a variety of performances including a brass group, two violin trios (Mr. Kantor playing in both), and a clarinet group.  After that we plan to stroll across the sidewalk to Harris Concert Hall to investigate a "Film Scoring Showcase".  We're not sure what this is but since there is a music composition component to AMFS we suspect this may be an exhibition of original scores composed to accompany movie scenes.  Will keep you posted.

Earlier today I stopped into Explore Booksellers to test out a gift card I received from B-Squad Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop (my parents).  I bought a book I recently learned about called The Disappearing Spoon. I have to finish another book before I really dig into this one, but I'm looking forward to it.  I also made a run to the local drugstore/wine shop and picked up some essentials (foot cream, Merlot, Pinot Noir). Jem, Abe and I later this AM walked to the PO, grocery store, and library.  Oh, and very early today I drove Prema to the airport -she is already hard at work in RC, supporting this whole summer of fun.
