Oceanaire Seafood Room

Megan and I tried a new restaurant in Denver called the Oceanaire Seafood Room. We first noticed it in November when we went to the opera. There are several of these restaurants around the country; the menu changes daily to match the fish they fly in each day.

Megan also noticed we had a Denver Nuggets player at the table next to ours; it was Marcus Camby.

National Western Stock Show

My aunt Ellen had an inclination to go to the National Western Stock Show and myself, Joan and Dave joined her. I had been to a rodeo as a kid but that was a long time ago. It was interesting. I didn't like when they wrestled the calves down. One got injured, and they carried it out on a strectcher. We also saw part of an auction of the Maine-Anjou breed (see pic). Prior to the auction we walked through the staging area....you would have thought you were at a dog show. There was hairspray and air blowers...

catch phrase!

I flew to Atlanta on Dec. 27 before another big snowstorm in Denver. I spent the days relaxing at home. Eileen and Shawn introduced Suzanne and I to the game Catch Phrase. Suzanne and I teamed up and totally kicked butt! Suzane could guess the word with my very short clues.

Here were some good ones:

Clue: Not kidney, but _____.
Answer: Liver (Eileen didn't like my clue because she said kidney was not the opposite of liver. But this isn't a medical game).



Clue: Eileen used to throw a lot of these as a kid.
Answer: Temper Tantrum (Eileen didn't like this clue either but once again, Suzanne guessed it immediately. Hehe.)

Suzanne's clue for me: Michelle is afraid of these.
Answer: Clowns
