Click to see PhotosJust got back from a nice 4 day trip to Lake City, Colorado with friends for the annual Wine & Music Festival. The weather was a little mixed throughout the festival's day with everything from sunny blue skies to cold, rainy gray skies. Most everyone managed to stick it out til the end, but I had to bail for shelter for a few hours during the cold rain. The rest of the trip was filled with great scenery around Lake City, lots of good food, and a few games of Settlers of Catan and Pictionary. Special thanks to Jordan and Scott for knowing all the great spots to visit for photos. I managed to take a lot more than I had expected, so hopefully a few turn out to be good. Wish I'd had the bag space to bring along my tripod! The photo above is from the last day, but Neil and Cindy had already left before I took the group shot. That bright light at the top was an unexpected but pretty cool looking sun flare from my little point & shoot camera. |

 It's a bit out of sight, tucked away in the 240 Plaza strip mall just south of I-240 on Western, but I'm really glad I found this place. One of the things I miss about traveling to larger cities is the variety of food we used to find. Mediterranean Grill gives me back a little of that 'fix' I crave now and then. The food is always fresh, made to order, tastes great, and the owners are friendly. Some of my favorites are their Dolmeh (or Dolmades), pita bread with tzadziki sauce, kubedeh kabob (seasoned ground beef) with grilled vegetables and saffron rice, and the tabouli and Greek side salads (still need to try the others). Hopefully they'll be able to add lamb dishes to the menu someday (grilled, sliced lamb on pita with crisp, roasted potatoes would be great). Although the food says "dinner table service," the interior is setup like a nice sandwich shop, with orders placed at the counter. This setup is both good and bad. The good is that I can quickly come and go without any fuss, and I love the self-serve ice machine. The bad is that it just won't attract a dinner crowd, which is why I think they close early most nights. Check them out if you're in the area and want to try something a little different. |

Thank you to all of my friends and family who made this birthday a great one. The little cake in the photo was perfect. Everyone knew I wanted a small party with a few friends and family, so the tiny cake was right on theme. And you know the saying about having your cake and eating it too? Well that actually happened since I got to take the whole thing home by myself :)

Today I switched to Pandora from Last.fm for my streaming radio. I've been a Last.fm user and paid subscriber for quite a while and always loved it. But lately the Last.fm player for Windows has been skipping during songs so much that it's just too annoying. This happens at home and work on very nicely equipped systems with high bandwidth connections. I probably should have just contacted support, but instead I searched around their forums and saw a few users with similar posts and no replies, so I just didn't have the energy to battle it. I will miss several features of Last.fm, but for now I just want to enjoy skip-free music. And so far, that's exactly what I've gotten. |
