Moon Over Boulder
December 8th, 2006
I was supposed to meet my coffee buddies tonight but the plans got foiled, and I ended up snapping this photo from my cell phone high above Boulder on a beautiful night. Apologies for the crappy image, but you outta get the picture. Here is how I ended up there…
The plan was to meet in Boulder at 7:30 pm. I left the office in Denver, made a quick stop at the gym, and headed to the watering hole. I was actually a bit ahead of schedule which is definitely a first for me. I was hanging out in the hallway waiting for my buds to show but no-one was coming. One of the posse was having back problems so I suspected he wouldn’t make it. Another had a sick nanny, so I was thinking maybe his kiddo got sick as well.
I fired up the laptop and sent a few emails to see if anyone was online. It was quiet. I waited until 8 pm. I was getting cold and my laptop battery was getting thin, so I decided to do what any insane person would do on a chilly winter night in Boulder. I hopped on my bike, strapped on the backpack, and rode over to Mt. Sanitas. From there, I ran the mountain trail. This is an awesome run and was particularly amazing on this cold, still night that was lit up by a spectacular moon.
I followed up the run with some riding around on the bike paths and trails that snake up to North Boulder. I was home by 9:30.
That was pretty perfect!
