Red Rocks

My posts have been a little serious lately, so I'm going to lighten things up a bit.

On this trip I found out that I am old. We went to Red Rocks (a natural outdoor amphitheater with a spectacular view - Red Rocks - scroll down to see the photo). They had some info on a nice display about altitude sickness. Apparently it is not a good idea to drink alcohol in the first 48 hours of your adjustment to the altitude. I blew that one when I found the wine of my dreams (Moscato - a sweet wine with a lower alcohol content - thus the sweetness) at Chris' company picnic at a hotel the day I arrived in Colorado. Maybe that is why I slept horribly the first night.

That part did not make me feel old however. It was the warning that if you are over 35, you should contact your physician before exerting yourself. I am quite a bit over 35, but I was not planning on over-exerting myself. The worst part of Red Rocks was the climb up the stairs from the lower parking area. Once I was in the amphitheater, I didn't have trouble. Maybe I was inspired by the number of people using it as their regular workout location - up the stairs, run across to the other side, up the stairs, etc.

    I had to check that the 'Posted by Kimberly' notice was at the bottom of this when I read 'the wine of my dreams'. ...did MY mother write this?...

    (I put the 'my' in caps, because you can't italicize in a comment. I don't want you to think I'm shouting at you :)

      Thanks for clarifying about the "MY". I laughed out loud (I wasn't sure if I should use LOL because that is "laugh out loud" and this is not a text:).

    LOL! This reminds me of online conversation between a mother and daughter. The daughter was in college and recently her dog died of old age. The daughter posted on Facebook a heartfelt post about her beloved pet. She received many kind comments of empathy. The Mom posted a simple comment of LOL.

    The daughter was extremely bewildered as to why her Mom would "LOL, or laugh out loud."

    While the Mom posted "LOL" thinking that it meant "Lots of Love"


    Love,
