Ahhh...The Internet

I love staying in hotels for a number of reasons, but since I unplugged from the Internet one of the main reasons is I get to spend time on the Internet. So, if you have noticed, I have updated the font and design of my blog because...yes...I am staying at a hotel.

Last weekend in Denver I told Meg, "OK, I really should get the Internet." And she looked at me in that way someone does when they want to say, Duh!, and she said, "Yeah, it would be nice to be able to email each other more."

Email, such an antiquated aspect of having Internet, and poor Meg is missing even that from me.

I have been resistant because where I live in Montrose people have told me the only thing available is dial up or satellite, both of which are very slow. And I don't do well with slow Internet...it is either high speed or nothing for me. The other day, however, I got a little advertisement in the mail that said, "HughesNet now has high speed Internet in your area!" So, I suppose I owe it to Meg to at least research that as well as Internet through my satellite TV provider.

I am at a hotel this weekend because I decided to take a little trip to Crested Butte. I LOVE this mountain town in the summer. The town is one of the most charming mountain towns ever, and the drive is so stunning with the ranches at the base of Mount Crested Butte. Yesterday I went to the Gunnison car and craft show on my way up to CB. I will post pictures at a later date as there were some wonderful classic cars on display. When I got to CB I wandered around downtown for quite some time. This morning I plan on a nice walk and then the farmers' market starts at 10am.

I feel that I owe it to myself to enjoy the various beautiful parts of Western Colorado since I live out here, so while the weather is gorgeous I plan to be out and about!
