Everyone knows Sarah Palin is a hockey mom, and wears a brand of glasses that are suddenly very popular. They know she supports abstinence, and has 5 children, including one who is pregnant. How much do you know about her ability to lead, to develop and understand policies, and to serve as second in command of the leader of the free world?

Sweet!
Savory Spice Shop, purveyors of the best and freshest spices anywhere, now has a shop in Boulder (2041 Broadway), in addition to their locations in Denver and Littleton.
My top three Savory favorites are:
1) Sequoia Canyon Parmesan Peppercorn--this elevates mac & cheese into a dining experience!
2) Spiced Vanilla Bean Sugar--use some of this in your next cookie recipe in place of plain sugar.
3) Wen Chocolates Dutch Hot Chocolate--make with 16 oz. milk--it serves 2. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Also new to the Boulder culinary horizon: Tee & Cakes. Beautifully crafted cupcakes, pastries, and custom cakes by pastry chef Kim Boos.
It's a good time to live in Perfectville.

Fun on the Run
Now that road cycling season is over, Alan has decided to get back into running. On Saturday, September 13, we did the Sombrero Trail Run with Norah and McGurk. 4.5 miles, 900' of climbing (starting elevation 7,450', max elevation 7,950'), and included a slick lucky horseshoe t-shirt and all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast afterward. The prizes were pretty slick, too: the "coveted" mountain goat bobblehead trophies. McGurk smoked the competition and won the race with a 33:50; Alan was 13th (39:48), I was 38th (44:57), and Norah was 86th (50:23) out of the 450 people in the race. Go, us!
For comparison, Sam and Lauren McFerran and I did another 4.5-mile trail race, the Race to the Top of Vermont at Mt. Mansfield on September 5th--4.5 miles, 2,550' climbing (starting elevation 1,750', max elevation 4,300')--I ran a 54:07. What I need is a race that's solidly downhill--that would be awesome, except I would probably totally break my foot instead of just make it sore for a week.
Yesterday, as we ran to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner, Alan complained that he was "Hun-GRAY!" I told him he could help me make dinner instead of working on projects in the garage, and that way he'd get to eat sooner.
His response: "Me man. Me use power tools. You woman. You cook."
My response: Fwap! (Sound of hand slapping Alan's left 'tock)
