Body Worlds

Eileen and I went to The Cherry Tomato for dinner then Joan met up with us to see the Body Worlds 2 exhibit. You can see some of my comments regarding it on Eileen's blog. I hope the examples of a smoker's lung versus a healthy one will convince people to quit.

In

I had my interview for the MBA program at CU Denver, and I was accepted. I plan to start school in June. I'm looking forward to it.

CRU and CSO

Eileen and I went to Cru in Larimer Square prior to seeing the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Cru was an excellent suggestion made by Megan. It's a wine bar but also has small plates and appetizers. Eileen and I each tried a wine sampler. They give you 2 oz of 3 different types of wine. Eileen had the merlot and I had the White wines of the World. The small plates we choose were also fantastic. We had cheese fondue and a steak pizza. We then went to see the CSO perform Pictures at an Exhibition. We got a great deal on the tickets - $5 a piece in the center on the front row. Eileen had forgotten her student ID, but we figured we'd ask the guy anyhow. He went on about he was a student too...nursing school. Anyway, I think it just pays to be a young girl.

Brunch

Eileen and I met Megan downtown in Larimer Square for brunch at Rioja. The wait staff signed a card for Eileen's birthday and gave her free dessert.

Notice Eileen's star in her drink - very special.

Eileen's Birthday

On Easter Eileen and I went to service at Pathways and saw Travis get baptized. I then made Eileen some lunch and we watched "Pirates of the Caribbean". Which, by the way, I can't wait until the next one is released on July 7th.

The Painted Bench

Eileen and I met Megan for dinner at the Painted Bench. I had an excellent beef stew. We shared 2 desserts - creme brulee and a very rich chocolate cake.

Keystone

I took the day off work and the sisters went skiing at Keystone. I decided to skip the skiing this time and go with what I know - snowboarding. It was a great way to end the season. Keystone had gotten several inches of snow. Suzanne did an excellent job for not having skied in a long time. We did get stuck on the gondola for about 20 minutes but all was well when it started up again.

Nuggets Game

Suzanne flew into town late Wednesday night. On Thursday Eileen and Suzanne came to visit me at work. That evening we had dinner at Tamayo with Joan and Ben. Ben, myself, Suzanne and Eileen went to a Denver Nuggets basketball game after that. The Nuggets were playing the LA Lakers. I have to say that Denver fans sure can hold a grudge. Kobe got booed everytime he stepped onto the court. The half-time show was amusing. It was the "Quick Change" people. Their show consisted of changing clothes every 15 seconds.
