WipeOut

Connor got the lead role, Riptide, in Longmont Theater Company's production of "Wipeout"

Wax up your surfboards, get out your beach blankets and catch the wave of
this swell surf musical! It’s just another sunny day at Avalon Beach until Mom
and Pop announce they’re selling their beloved surf shop and teen hangout. The
snobbish developers from the nearby ritzy Cove want Avalon’s stretch of sand…
for a parking lot! But Mom and Pop’s daughter Midge and all the loyal Avalon
kids are determined—they’re not going to let that happen! Riptide, the local
kahuna, enters the big surf contest to vie for the grand prize money that will
keep The Shack’s doors open, but the crowd from the Cove will do anything to put
the kibosh on Rip winning the prize money, including sabotage! When Riptide
breaks his leg in a surfing accident (thanks to the conniving developer’s son
Reef), it’s up to Midge to step onto her Billabong and go up against the big
boys. Pop, a former surfing champion himself, comes through to help his little
surfer girl in a sweet surfing cram session that gets all the kids amped for the
big event! This surf musical—complete with hysterical onstage surfing that’s
easy to stage—takes us back to a simpler time when life was keen, the music was
cool and the world was about to change. Gnarly, dudes! -Pioneer Drama Services

Our June 6th Morning Stroll

We went on another walk today. We found some walking paths and trails we hadn't seen before. We also ran accross a farm with goats. Total distance was 6miles and we were out for two hours (10:13-12:10) We stopped to take some pix. Fine artwork: http://twitpic.com/6rgxj and and pretty mountains: http://twitpic.com/6r61v. Map will be coming soon. Google Maps is experiencing technical difficulties.

Introducing Hans Magyar

We have decided to replace Connor with his evil twin "Hans". Their personalities are very similar. The biggest difference is the blinding glare if you are out in the sun with "Hans".

Urban Hike

Amy and I took one of our "Urban Hikes" today around Longmont. Our total route was about four miles long. The map below is not entirely accurate since Google will not let us show where we used walking paths.

We saw a mallard standing in the middle of 21st Ave. He barely avoided being hit by a truck. In fact, he never took off just ran out of the way, after being honked at.
