Body Worlds, Good Friends, and GoodFriends

Michele and I had a dandy evening yesterday. :-)

After work, we took advantage of our proximity to Colorado Blvd. to go to Body Worlds 2, the art/acience installation at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

The installation was amazing! The basis is a slew of corpses that have been plastinized, which literally means -- plastic-ized. You see the muscle, bone, and even organs...all of it preserved and un-smelly, and right in front of you.

As if that wasn't neat enough, the bodies are posed in ways to accentuate muscle formations and to see certain body areas. They were posed in soccer, baseball, and yoga positions.

Also, there was lots of educational material and it took almost an hour to run through, but it was well worth it. :-)

...

Afterwards, we met up with our friends K and Shawn at one of my favorite little restaurants -- nay, my favorite restaurant, period -- GoodFriends.

Not only did I get to enjoy the best onion rings ever invented, but K and I shared a main dish of nachos which were AMAZING. Mmmmmmmmm...and then we let K and Shawn in on some interesting news.

Afterwards, we went to Liks, an ice cream shop downtown. We ate and then took a walk through Cheeseman Park and we all had a good time. K found a kitten buddy along the way and got lots of love. :-)

Michele and I got home and realized we can't find our garbage can. Not sure if the wind blew it away or someone took it mistakenly. In the meantime, if you find a large, green garbage can on your block, please let us know. ;-)
