Colorado State University today announces plans to convert its entire Fort Collins campus energy use to 100 percent wind power. To do this they are actually going to be constructing a Wind Farm in Northern Colorado that will create more electricity than the entire campus consumes.

Needless to say, I am very proud of this and will keep you updated on all progress! Here is a link to the article describing the Green Power Project and related Green news.

I think that I sent a whole bunch of you a picture message from Kelley and my St. Patrick’s day weekend in Steamboat Springs. We had an awesome weekend full of skiing and green beer – the best St. Patrick’s day that I can remember. As far as this guy goes he was alright, handing out chocolate coins and being quite jolly – however, we didn’t get a picture of the dude he was with – a second (drunken) leprechaun in street clothes who kept telling us (and the dozen or so children that ran up to him) to rub the leprechaun’s belly. At one point he told me he got $5,000 dollars the last time he did it .. creepy!

Our hosts, Kelley’s best friend Hilary and her boyfriend Mark showed us a great time. We can’t wait to return to Steamboat this summer for some biking and hiking!

… were dashed last night in a grueling four hour tournament. Coasting on an undefeated season, our rookie team, the “Septic Papayas” held our own to come out in 4th place overall – unheard of for a rookie team in the northern Colorado dodge ball circuit.

This league was great – almost exactly like the movie except with less training sessions. Anyway – we have a few photos from this (not many) so enjoy!
