Bob said he was going to clean the house as a Valentine’s Day gift for me. I was thrilled and left for a few hours so I could come home to a clean house. Lo and behold, he had only put a kitchen drawer back on its tracks and decided cleaning was too hard and offered to take me out to dinner instead. Then he decided he better step it up a bit and played me a song on his saxophone. 

We decided to spend Valentine’s Day at the Colorado mammoth lacrosse game. Colorado beat the formerly undefeated Calgary dudes. During halftime this game they had all of the Colorado mascots play and for some reason there was a random banana. The mascots played a mix of lacrosse and tackle football.

On Monday we took a scenic drive to Estes Park. There happened to be a dog park with an agility course so we took Coda to play and entertain us.

When Coda was done at the park we drove along the Peak to Peak highway.

I spotted a herd of elk on the side of the road, about 30 yards away. Bob decided this was the perfect time to wash the windshield of his car with the windex he happened to have in the trunk. I was picturing which headline the Denver Post would use: “Former New Yorker mauled by elk while cleaning window”… “Idiot deserved it”.
