THE WEEK’S LINKS
jp and i are trying to watch less tv and do more activities that allow us to chat and flex our brains. he recently taught me chess and i beat his butt the first time around. a new monday night (our weekend) tradition.
- i cannot stop listening to this hauntingly beautiful song: chris garneau, baby’s romance
- summer of 2005 i found myself in paris at the same time as the end of the tour de france. i was there on the Champs-Élysées when armstrong crossed the finish line and made history and i was elated. i am so saddened now that a sport i love, cycling, has such a disgraceful culture. the point of lance armstrong.
- still haven’t gotten organized for the new year? make your own mini calendar notebooks to carry around with you in your purse
- valentine’s day (my favorite holiday!) is coming up. here are free downloadable printable hearts for valentine’s activities
- ballots are out for westword’s best of denver 2013. fill it out and don’t forget to vote for your favorite locally owned small businesses.
My husband and I were also on Champs-Élysées that day. It’s so disappointing to have this news hanging over such a joyous memory.
Love the printable calender! Definitely on my diy list!
in the summer of 2004 i was in paris on the Champs-Élysées when lance crossed the finish line. (funny a year a part we were doing the exact same thing). as the prize wining teams took their final turns down the road the speakers played their home countries’ national anthems. as lance and his team took theirs… the speakers played sheryl crow (they were together at the time). and i was terrible embarrased to be an american in that moment.
