My brother-in-law called earlier today to ask me if I'd mind hopping on the Rockies' website to buy World Series tickets for him on Monday morning. While he was waxing ecstatic about the team's success this year, I took the opportunity to mention that the Rockies' home PA announcer was a class behind me at D'Evelyn. He asked if I could get super ( Read more... )

How come I didn't know that Reed Saunders '99 is now the Colorado Rockies' PA announcer?

...other than that I haven't been to a Rockies game since 1995 and I only joined Facebook to RSVP regrets to joining fellow alumni for the Rockies game this Thursday. I'm having dinner at The Melting Pot with my thermonuclear family that evening. (:

This is mostly new to D'Evelyn people not on the alumni mailing list, but it bears repeating:

Jamin Buchanan "J.B." Wilson '99 died December 14th in a car accident near Speicher, Germany. He was stationed at Spangdahlem Air Base and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery on Christmas Day ( Read more... )

Just for you old-timers who remember Brian Adler addressing Dr. Synnott as "Dr. Snot", I found out what happened to Dr. Carlton's successor since he left Jeffco and we all missed him SO much.

Someone robbed Vogon's car late Monday night or early Tuesday morning, but they weren't particularly bright -- they took a bunch of fast-food napkins, an old pair of sunglasses with scratched lenses, and some of the CDs from the center console. They left several CDs behind, ignored a couple bucks' worth of change in the driver's side door handle ( Read more... )

Real update later. In the meanwhile, enjoy the following tidbits.

Amy and Branden's wedding and reception were beautiful; they're honeymooning in Glenwood Springs. A D'Evelyn moment happened at the reception when karaksindru observed that one of the folks with the caterer looked familiar but couldn't place his name; later on, the familiar-looking guy asked ( Read more... )

I like Karak's new beard shape. It's so cute I want to make muffins to celebrate. Heh ( Read more... )

Evil sinus flareup the past few days (you can tell I'm really sick when I turn down azuki ice cream) so I've been offline. Finally got those October 2003 photos up on oddharmonic.org and am currently uploading slightly cleaned thumbnails for older photos, so you get the current memetic survey while I'm killing time.
