skinny legs like I always wanted
The person who took pictures at the Kennebec Challenge put them up on Facebook here; if you can't see them (you can't see them if you're not on FB; I don't know if you can see them if you are, but aren't her FBF) you can look at a small selection I snagged and put on Flickr here: Kennebec Challenge. Um, yeah, I look kind of sweaty and zoned-out. I have an excuse. :-)
Last night was the Lyle Lovett concert up at the football field of our small local college, and it was a total blast. Durango's pretty small, so we only get a big-name concert maybe once every few years, and the whole town showed up, or so it seemed, because we ran into about a dozen people we knew. We went up with two other couples; it was one guy's birthday, so we had a little potluck party here and drank bunches of wine before heading up to the concert, which had been going since 5 in the afternoon with local musicians as opening acts.
Rain earlier had given way to beautiful clear skies. We had lawn tickets and sprawled in our camp chairs just behind the reserved section, and most of the time we could see pretty well, as long as the excitable women in front of us weren't jumping to their feet. Lyle Lovett had his Large Band with him, which lived up to its name (we counted 13 people), and they were all awesome. At one point they brought up and played a couple of songs with one of our local musicians, who is apparently a bluegrass legend despite living in Dove Creek, a tiny agricultural town about an hour and a half west of here.
It was just so pleasant and relaxing. The stars were clear and shining above our heads; we were looking straight at Scorpio over the stage. Great music. Lovely evening. Happy Ilana.
