A Year of Change

June 6th, 1944, D Day, the day the allied troops landed in Normandy in the largest sea to land assault in history. Many people wonder what the “D” in D Day stands for but it actually doesn’t stand for anything. it was just a ‘D” according to the Army much like the kids have A, B or C days at school. Anyhow it was a day that’ll never be forgotten by those of us that took history when they actually taught history in school. Not sure about today’s or future generations as some school districts have been trying to rewrite or alter history for some time now. I though, remember as do most of my generation.

Yesterday we had a meeting with the college counselor at school. It was a good meeting as we now know how to handle her. Basically we need to interrupt her and keep her on topic and all is good. This morning at 8:30 Ty has Deb for 90 minutes. Lori’s head has been killing her. She needs an injection or massage or something as it’s been pretty bad lately.

My three Partner’s are in Germany for meetings with a Company that wants to team up with us. We’ll see what happens. I stayed here to hold down the fort. Hope all is going well. We had a little rain yesterday and it was a little cloudy but not bad. We did go to the Westin but it was too cold to swim for Lori and I. Jag did hit the pool which is salt water and then the hot tub.

It’s 5:32 am now so time to feed the pups and take them up the hill. Hope you all are well. Take care and God Bless.

Today is Lori’s day off but is she really off? She always has some work to do but we also have a full day of “other work” to do here. At 9 am we’re meeting with Jag’s college counselor at school, we have some cleaning and decluttering to do around her, Ty has some work to do as he starts with his tutor Deb tomorrow and the dogs will need a walk or two up the hill. Throw in a trip at 7 am to the gym and you see what I mean.

I was in Denver yesterday and it looked a little dark by the time I left but it was nice up here. Tommy commented how the blog the other day wished for more rain for them. I went back and read it, ha, too funny.

I did get our insurance company to finally pay for our water leak. Hope our rates don’t go up but they probably will. The dogs had breakfast and have been out and are now laying around. We need to leave for the gym in 15 minutes so time to go. Have a great day, take care, be safe and God Bless.

Tuesday is clinic, I’m in Denver, Jag has an ortho appointment and Ty has something, just not sure what.

I guess Denver has had rain and storms every day but it’s been nice up here. Hope it stays that way. The bulldozers were moving dirt yesterday as one of Jag’s friends and our soon to be neighbors sent him a photo saying our house is almost ready for us to move in, ha.

I need to get down valley and take some pictures. The dogs are playing tug of war with one of their new toys and both boys are of course sleeping. It’s 7 am so time for us to get moving. I need to meet a sales rep from Colorado Springs at 9:45 at Park Meadows. Have a good day, GB.

Yesterday after a busy day doing who knows what, we headed to the Ferer’s for dinner. We had Emma with us as they went swimming earlier in the day. We arrived a little after 6 and were home just before 11. We had a really nice time and the time flew by. It was hard to get up but Harley’s internal clock goes off at 5:45 am so that’s when we rose.

It’s a work week for us as usual even though it’s the first week of June. As I said yesterday today is Mom and Dad’s anniversary. Not sure how many years but I know today is the day. We ate so much last night (we think it was the guacamole and chips) that both Lori and I had stomach aches. I’m still so full and I don’t think I’ll eat for a week!

Ty is going to La Bottega to try to get a job today. He had a crash on his board the other day and his calf is hurt so he’s been limping around. All the kids skateboard in basically empty swimming pools as that’s how they make skate parks these days.

Time to go as it’s 7. Looks sunny again. They had rain and hail in Denver yesterday but it was nice up here. Hope that continues. Have a great day, God Bless.

This morning I woke at 5:45 as usual to take the dogs out and then went back to bed until 9:30. I must have needed the sleep. I sort of laid around in bed though and didn’t really get all the way back to sleep. Both boys are still out but Lori is up making Eggs Benedict for the boys.

Lori and I ended up going to dinner with Mel and Marty which was fun. Tonight we’re going to the Ferer’s, (Emma’s house) for dinner. Ty really doesn’t want to go but we’re making him anyhow.

It’s sunny out and nice. We joined the Westin pool, gym and spa yesterday as a family for the summer. It’s only $750 for the whole summer which is a deal and we’ll quit our other gym while going there so it’s revenue neutral.

Tomorrow is Mom and Dad’s anniversary, just a reminder. Next week Jag and Ty will get busy with their work. Ty has a tutor twice a week and Jag on and off as he has the ACT I think June 8th. Then we have Aspen Food and Wine the 14th through the 16th, then the Bocelli concert the 21st with 18 of our closest friends, and then I think Ty goes to the Woodward Skateboard Camp on the 23rd. So lot’s going on. I have to go back to Aspen next Friday too.

That’s it, I need more coffee. Sorry for the late post this morning. Have a great day, God Bless.

You all know from yesterdays post I was in Aspen and then we went to Rocketman. All went well in Aspen, it was beautiful as always (there’s a reason something like 5% of the World’s Billionaires own homes there) and my event went well. I left around 3:30 for home putting me here around 5:20. About an hour later it was time to head to the movies.

I has talked to my good friend Marty on the way home and he and his wife Melanie decided to go with us. We met them at the theater and when we went to our seats we found people sitting in them? It’s reserved seating so we were confused until we learned Lori had bought tickets for the night before! Anyhow we exchanged them and then the four of us got to sit together.

The movie started out (I won’t spoil it) with a scene like it was a musical. Without giving anything away, it is a kind of musical but after I made it through the first little bit, I didn’t notice it and it was good. Lori and Mel loved it. It’s funny as it shows how fucked up Elton John’s life was and earlier in the day Ty and I were talking about how everyone, and I mean everyone, has some kind of issue in their life. Well, Elton John had a bunch which you’ll see if you see the movie. Anyhow as I said, it was good, just not what I was expecting after seeing the Queen movie. It was brave of Elton to put his life out there like he did in this movie. I’m not so sure all of us would do the same.

Today it’ll be in the 70’s up here. Jag has an ACT/SAT tutor from 9 to 10 and then I’m not sure what we’re doing. Emma and Jag went to Rocketman at 4 down valley in Edwards and Ty might go today. Lori is sleeping but Mojo woke me at 5:40 am, thanks a lot. That’s about it, time to wrap it up. Have a great weekend, God Bless and Happy June 1st!

I have a quick event in Aspen this afternoon from 2 until 4 and then will rush home to make the 7 pm showing of Rocketman, the movie based on Elton John. It comes out today and Lori bought tickets yesterday as she’s been wanting to see it.

Yesterday was more of the same as will be today. Tomorrow is June 1st, wow. Not sure what the boys will do today. Yesterday after the college thing Jag went to Emile’s and made it home around 8:30. Ty went to the movies with Sammy, Tegan and Will. I picked him up about 9 pm.

I did manage to sneak in a workout which was great. Dr. C. and another doc head out to Portland this afternoon for some seminar this weekend so we arranged for a good dinner and other amenities. Should be sunny here this weekend. Might go look at a used car tomorrow for Jag.

That’s it, time to run, God Bless.

Lori has to be in her office by 7 as they’re shooting a new commercial for the clinic. Their tv commercials constantly win awards and are pretty good.

Jag has to be at school at 9 for a college prep seminar that lasts until 2 and then he has his ACT tutor from 3 to 4 via Skype. Ty is home safe and needs a particular book for summer reading so we’ll try to find that today.

We have James going up to Mom’s today as the place needs some TLC. I guess the grass is pretty long and the weeds are blooming. Time to clean it up a bit.

Tom has his landscapers working away and today they’re putting up the construction fences for our house and will be moving dirt on Monday as yesterday we finally got our permits!

It’ll be warm this weekend and we’ll be doing some purging around here. We’re throwing out one of Mom’s old chairs as it finally broke a few days ago. We’ll need to find something to hold us over that’s not too expensive.

I’m taking Lori to work this morning so time to get moving. it’s 5:57 am now and I could use another cup of coffee! God Bless.

Yesterday Lori commented how it looked like Seattle outside. It was grey and rainy and stayed that way most of the day. The only thing missing was the socialistic Antifa crowds which thankfully our weather and geographic location keeps away for the most part.

Ty is still in Denver and I’ll pick him up around 1 this afternoon. Lori was headed to the gym but our trainer texted at 4 am that he was sick. Jag went to Emma’s and then they went to a movie.

They say 70’s and 80’s are coming. I’ll believe it when I see it. If and when it does, prepare for lots of runoff and even some flooding. Snowpack is close to 200% of normal and that water has to go somewhere. June 1st Saturday, wow.

Here in Colorado our new Governor is out of control. He’s signing law after law that the majority of the State does not want. There’s a big recall effort and they just might get him out. You hardly recognize the State anymore as it’s more and more like California every day and we all know how well that’s working.

Time to go as it’s almost 6 am. Hope everyone is well. We hope to break ground any day like possibly tomorrow or Friday. Have a great day, GB.

It’s back, the white stuff. Outside we have about an inch of snow, wow! I guess they had hail in Denver so we’re not complaining as ours will melt off quick. The weather across the Country is all over the place this year. So much for global warming.

Ty is living the life down at Ben’s. I’ll pick him up tomorrow. Jag went to Lexi’s yesterday to hang out with her and Emile. He’s the guy with all the hair in the picture yesterday.

Lori’s back at work today and it’s clinic. That makes for a long day usually. Not much else going on. Time to get moving. Hope you all are well, take care, be safe and God Bless.
