Bye July
Wednesday, July 31, 2019 — Centennial Trail
Phase 1. Under cloudy skies and reasonable temperatures in the low 80s, our legacy crew, S and D, set forth in a generally westerly direction in search of a trail. Forging through rush-hour traffic, they bypassed Chautauqua Park (due to crowds) and headed down 6th Street toward Mt Sanitas. A detour around construction roadblocks on Mapleton led eventually back to the Centennial Trailhead, with ample parking.
Joggers and deer wandered along the trail as S and D headed west. The flora was still quite damp and green, despite the recent heat wave, with plenty of blooming monarda and various other midsummer flowers.
A good time was had by all.
Phase 2. Since we’re in the north country, our faithful readers might very well guess the venue for tonight’s celebrations. Here’s a hint: the Wednesday beer special is Old Speckled Hen. Despite the special, D ordered Stella and a club, while S had turkey on marbled rye and a side of water.
Phase 3: Renewing our “sipster” status, the crew settled in at SiP to research the answers to various conversational conundrums, while brainstorming homophones for D & KZ’s evolving list. Here are some new ones: { { pearl, purl }, { band, banned } }.
