Three ways I've been spending my time in October
1) The Red Sox are in the world series, I'm cheering for them. The Red Sox are ahead in the series, so the momentum is keeping me glued to every second of televised action. On the East Coast the games don't start until the tardy hour of 8:30 and don't end until the jarringly late hour of 11:30 (+/-).
2) I purchased a wicked little time sink in SimCity for my DS. I decided to call my City Danvers, and I took the name of Mayor Pena. Some familiar with Colorado will recognize this as a nod to the Mayor of my youth. I always thought he looked like an odd duck - but I recall his politics leading Denver out of the Stapleton airport era smog and into the future of Denver International Airport.
Federico Peña proved to be one of Denver’s most ambitious, energetic and able mayors. He worked to give Denver a new airport, a major league baseball team, a grand new central library, a new convention center and restored many parks, parkways and public buildings, resurrecting the City Beautiful-era dreams of Mayor Robert W. Speer. Peña set aside one percent of the cost of all municipal building projects (over $1 million) for art.
3) And last but not least, I've been making some small watercolors at coffee shops. I'm glad that some things never change. Here is one I just did this morning. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
