January 8 2010

Adventure of the Day:


The children's first train ride, 4-hour round-trip (not counting for delays), to Glenwood Springs and back. The boy's birthday gift.

The first time I'd been on a train since Montreal in High School. The first time my husband's been on a train since Alaska when he was the same age.










Food of the Day:

If the vending machine doesn't have what you want, you can push the...Cow return? and get fresh beef.


Thought of the Day:


Light has Fangs.

It strings out from the edges of a form and it suggests glinting cones.

Light has Fangs.



Teaching Link of the Day:

Water Flow of Ice Covered Rivers

and yes, I really do ask these kinds of questions while roaming the earth enjoying it. I can't stop at "awesome," I have to define it.

(This wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for as this is not the kind of river, but Google is not forthcoming with the mind-reading.)





Word of the Day:

Statedly : At stated times; regularly.

This was our return-trip train-car number, interestingly, our departing-trip train-car number was 611. This is the secret-window in the access for changing this number, which is in the accessible restrooms.



Game of the Day:

How Fast Does the Train Go?

70 before stopping before Glenwood Springs

45 through DeBeque (DuhBeck) Canyon

80 through the town of Palisade
