When I took Gina the Dog out for her walk this morning I found it was Fall in Telluride. For the last several days I have been aware that the willows along the San Miguel were turning, and there were a few patches of...

The Telluride Film Festival is not only about film. Conversations between film buffs in the theater waiting lines, a hike in the hills surrounding Telluride between films, face time with actors, directors, and the chance to watch William Wegman sign your personal copy of...

In 1966, long before I had even heard of Telluride, I fell in love with Anouk Aimee, one of the Telluride Film Festival's tributees for 2009. I was a young 707 pilot for Northwest Airlines and saw "Un Homme et une Femme" on a...

500daysofsummer_smallposter Gforce_smallposter Be aware Telluride: it's a short week at the Nugget Theatre. The Nugget will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday, September 2 & 3 to get ready for the Telluride Film Festival. For the rest of the week, Friday-Tuesday, the program is "G-Force" and "500 Days of Summer."

"G-Force" is a Disney animation featuring guinea pigs with a mission to save the world from the machinations of an evil tycoon. The movie is rated PG for some mild action and rude humor.

"500 Days of Summer" is not a love story, as the audience is warned at the very beginning. The movie does not follow the "Boy meets Girl, Boy gets Girl, Boy loses Girl, Boy gets Girl back" formula, and doesn't so not in chronological order. With me so far? Rated PG-13 for sexual material and language.

See the Nugget website for trailers and reviews. The week's schedule is shown below.

IMG_0394 In previous posts I have mentioned that it is difficult to leave Telluride in any season, but in Summer, for me, it is hard to even contemplate. Susan left two weeks ago to finish a major commitment to get her teaching credentials in her yoga discipline, Viniyoga. I stayed in Telluride to hold down the fort until time to join her for her last few days at Mount Madonna, California, and to attend her graduation ceremony.

Because my days were not going to be too busy, of course I brought along some toys. I wasn't sure I would be using the kayak, but I wasn't sure I wouldn't, so it came along. I thought my mountain bike might be more versatile for our location than the road bike, so that came as well.
