#Only in Boulder

There’s a saying that “only in Boulder does your waitress have a PhD,” an allusion to the fact that people here are really freaking smart.

I’m sitting outside at Alfalfa’s today, however, and I’ve just seen five people in five minutes try to open this door:

Rule of Thumb

After thoroughly slicing off the tip of my thumb the other day while cutting carrots, I now have a new rule of thumb for when I’m in the kitchen: Don’t cut off my thumb.

A fishy situation

Went to the Asian food market the other day down in Denver. They haveĀ huge tanks filled with lobsters, crabs and big ‘ole fish swimming around. You can get a pretty good price too–only $12.99 for a 2+ pound live lobster.

Check out those beady little eyes!

Sick

(From awhile ago …)

OK, I’ll admit it. After five days with a wracking cough that’s probably bronchitis, the diagnosed double pink eye, a sinus infection, an inability to hear anything but highly muffled sounds out of my clogged right ear, a sore throat, and hangnail, it’s time to face the truth.

I’m sick.
