Holidays in Colorado Springs are not much different than in other cities our size. The annual cycle of holiday musical productions, the Parade of Lights, shop til you drop, eat until ..., finding a good day to put up lights, you know the drill. Probably adding a little uniqueness is that somewhere in there you have to find some time to get some early season skiing or boarding in. The mountains are still a bit dry, but with some colder temps, the manmade snow is starting to cover better, and I am starting to get the itch to go. Our own little bit of snow that fell just before (and after) Thanksgiving is gone, but they say we could get another dusting this weekend. Today will be a warm one, with a Chinook wind.

The little bit of "hope in Whoville" for the Broncos has pretty much gone with the painful loss to Chicago this weekend. Hard to believe the defense could crack so fast at the end of the game. While all is not lost, pretty much anything short of running the table is not going to cut it.
