Beef on Weck, originally uploaded by 131j.
We had a Potluck at work and the theme was foods from home/childhood. I decided to introduce Denver to the Beef on Weck. I Found Kaiser rolls but had to bake on the salt and caraway seeds. I was shocked, it actually came out well and my coworkers all seemed to like it. You don’t see the horseradish in the picture but I had a jar of it on the side.
9News Denver stopped in at the 29th AVE Animal Hospital to do a story about DNA Testing on your Dog. Jacques took center stage along with some of his canine friends. Aileen has a cameo too.
Well, it looks like I don’t have to go to Jury duty tomorrow. I guess thats good, though I’d like to see what its all about at some point… Oh well now I can just look forward to a little Lez Zeppelin tomorrow night. I hope they are as good as I have heard.

For the record that’s not me… I wear sunscreen
Spent most of the weekend outside baking in the sun. Believe it or not it was quite nice. Saturday we hung out at the Tour De Fat just down the road from us at City Park. Lot’s of insanity, people dressed up, wacky sideshows and a plethora of interesting new concepts in bicycle riding. On Sunday I went with a friend to the Rockies game which epitomized insanity when an afternoon shower blew through. Check out the Video here. Now that was insane. In the evening AK and I headed up to the Boondocks to go to Boondocks. Played some mini golf and vowed to return for the go-karts.

With the temps this weekend nearing 100 all three days, much of it was spent indoors. I used some of that to rearrange the office as well as some necessary cleaning. I wanted to spend more time out back doing some yard work, but man it was hot. All this heat, sun and no rain has pretty much turned my lawn brown. The piece of crap sprinkler and the lack of hose to reach the front didn’t help either. Yesterday I picked up a new sprinkler, some Revive, and a 50′ hose extension. After the application of the revive and with the new sprinkler, I was finally able to efficiently water the front and back lawn. Now it’s a matter of daily watering and waiting.

This weekend was great! I got to spend all of it with Aileen which was really good. We did a bunch of yard work and then also did a lot of relaxing. Yesterday her and I hit up the insanity at Cherry Creek State Park. It was nice to be near water (yes there is water in Colorado, not much though) We had a picnic lunch along the water went for a walk around teh reservoir and then headed home. Last week was insane with the trip to NYC so these past few days have been much needed and hopefully a just a teaser of what is to come with the cruise next week.

I attended the Morrissey show last night at the Filmore. I have never been much into his solo stuff unlike Aileen but I love the Smiths and had heard rumors that he was now doing Smiths songs in concert. Besides, I have never seen him nor the Smiths live so I figured, what the hay. I will not get into details because I’m sure there are plenty of die hard Morrissey websites that can give you a second by second narration of the show. But I will say this. He sounded great, the band sounded great. His new stuff was surprisingly good and he did 4 Smiths songs! Last night was a blast!

Going into it, I knew this week was going to be a rough one. I had a bunch of stuff planned at work back to back followed by fairly eventful evenings each day. The unpredictable Wet Tuesday and the incidents that followed didn’t make it any better. Needless to say the end of the work week is finally in view. I have the Research and Creative Activities Symposium to shoot this afternoon and then only a warm and sunny weekend to look forward to. Finally Friday!

q. What happens when a maintinence crew at your building working on the “chillers” on the roof forget to unplug a valve?
a. You get thousands of gallons of water rushing into your building from the ceiling.
Now I’m sitting in my 90 degree office crammed with blowers and dehumidifiers. Oh and it stinks like building rot!
