Yet again, we have another cute litter of four playful, affectionate, 11-week-old Australian Cattle Dog mix puppies who arrived here from New Mexico with their adorable mother, Bella (photo to the left)! These pups are super friendly and outgoing.

Sweet, two-year-old mom came to the shelter with her happy, healthy, affectionate, male kittens who have all been adopted. She is now ready for her own home.

Cosmo and Chloe are beautiful 18.5-year-old Tabby cats who were released to the shelter as a lifelong pair and we would like to keep them together. Sweet kitties! Chloe is the more outgoing of the two. Cosmo loves to hang out in his bed but ventures out often for treats. Low-maintenance, loving and very spry for their age.

POPULAR MUSIC SIX YEARS AFTER she was

introduced to international audiences on “American Idol,” where she was the runner-up in 2010, Crystal Bowersox has remained a woman on a mission.

On Saturday, Dec. 3, the young singer-songwriter brings her dynamic amalgam of blues, country, folk and rock to the Wheeler Opera House.

She released her debut album, “Farmer’s Daughter,” shortly after her run on “American Idol.” She followed it up with “All That for This” in 2013.

“I am more proud of this body of work then anything I’ve done before,” Bowersox said at the time. “If this music can move someone to tears or makes them smile, then I have really accomplished something.

That’s all I can ask for.”

Opening up for Bowersox is singer-songwriter Seth Glier, who made his Aspen debut in January at the Wheeler during the historic theater’s grandreopening weekend, following a renovation.

The show is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 (a $75 VIP option includes a meet-and-greet with Bowersox), available at www.aspenshowtix.com Bowersox’s concert kicks off a busy season at the Wheeler, including shows by the Blind Boys of Alabama (Dec. 16), The Ten Tenors (Dec. 25), The Beach Boys (Dec. 28) and the Doo Wop Project (Dec. 31).

1957 ASPEN

“SKI FASHIONS ARE TIGHTER AND BRIGHTER,” announced The Aspen Times on Nov. 21, 1957. “Tighter and brighter will be the ski fashion cry this winter. In preparing for its first annual fashion showing of current ski garb, the Aspen Ski Club discovered that pants will be trimmer, courtesy of the elasticized process which is now an industry-wide innovation, and that designs for pants, parkas and sweaters feature more colors than ever.

Elasticized ski pants are now being turned out in stripes and vivid solid colors. Traditional blacks and blues and dark grays may be moved, forever, off the slopes this season. All of the Ski Club’s research into upcoming fashions will be unveiled at their showing of the latest garb tomorrow night, November 22, when local shops model their ‘finds’ for the winter.

Exhibits will be sponsored by Aspen Sports, Mountain Shop, Country Store, Alpine Jeweler, Wonder Shop and Terese David. The winter’s second Club party will feature music by Freddie ‘Schnicklefritz’ Fisher’s Dixieland group. It’s slated for the Red Onion from 9 PM until closing.” The photo above shows Sally Vroom modeling a ski outfit in the 1950s. She is standing in a snowbank outside of Elli’s Ski Shop.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGENOLD

RUN ON: SAUCONY WINTER RUNNING SHOES A FREAK SNOWSTORM. A desire to run. Those ingredients this past week gave reason to put a new winter-ready running shoe to the test.

Saucony’s RAZOR ICE+ had arrived in the mail just hours before a November cold front. It was the season’s first snowstorm, and the next morning I laced up in a stark whiteness at the edge of a forest, ready to run.

Despite a sleek shell and the look of XC ski boots, Saucony’s cold-weather running shoes feel as comfortable as footwear you wear when it’s warm.

The high-top design is a departure from winterized shoes in a few ways, including a flexible build and a new kind of Vibram sole.

But for these winter speedsters you pay a premium. Saucony charges $180 for the RAZOR ICE+ shoes, which came to market in men’s and women’s models this month.

The midsole, upper and chassis are flexible and foot-hugging. They secure on via a quick-lace system, and the inner shoe is made of a thick mesh.

All this is ensconced in a thin, stretchy shell. It zips shut to keep snow out and add warmth. Gaiters extend to the ankles to seal out the elements.

Underfoot the shoe gets even more unusual. Its rubber sole has light tread and textured chevrons composed of a new formula, Vibram’s Arctic Grip.

The Vibram compound is a dense rubber that is rough to the touch.

Arctic Grip is a worthy add-on.

It is no panacea, however, despite Saucony’s claim that it can “make ice obsolete.”

Overall, the shoes grip well on new snow. On cold ice you can run and slide a little; they are not slipproof but are a good upgrade over traditional rubber tread.

They work best on wet ice and slush. Compared side by side with a regular running shoe on wet ice,

the Vibram-equipped Saucony shoes slipped less. While my normal running shoes slide freely on wet ice, the Saucony’s sole nabbed some purchase.

The rubber sole is not comparable to the grip you get from carbide-tip tread, spikes, Yaktrax or crampons.

But as far as rubber-tread options for winter running, The Saucony/ Vibram combo is a good one. I never fell down, despite running miles on snow and ice for this review.

For warmth, the stretchy shell provides protection from wind and some insulation. On the run, with my blood pumping, they were warm enough to 10 degrees and below.

For their intended task — running on snow and ice in the winter — you’ll be happy in these shoes. They are now my go-to footwear for pounding out miles when the air turns cold.

WINEINK

KOSTA BROWNE AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY

IF YOU LOVE PINOT NOIR then you know the wines from Kosta Browne. Over the past 20 years, the “boys from Sonoma” have been making some of California’s, and the world’s, best appellation designated and single vineyard pinot noir and Chardonnay wines.

“I guess it really all stems from our passion about pinot KELLY J. noir,” Dan Costa said HAYES in recent interview about the past, the present and the future of the eponymous label he started with his friend Michael Browne in 1997. “You can’t engineer wine, it comes from the heart.” The quote is quintessential Kosta, an engaging, down-toEarth soul who just happens to have seen his passion blossom into one of the great American success stories in recent years.

THE ROOTS

In the late 1990s, Dan was working on a fine career in the restaurant business as the operations manager and wine director at John Ash & Co. in Santa Rosa, California. There he met Michael Browne, and his life changed. The two would spend hours tasting and talking about a shared obsession: pinot noir. Inevitably a decision was made: they had to stop just drinking wine and start making it. Tapping the only resources they had, the two pooled their collective tips with an eye toward buying grapes.

“You know, I can’t even tell you exactly where the fruit came from,” Dan said with a laugh recalling the first purchase the pair made, a half ton of pinot grapes from the 1997 vintage. “It was a teeny vineyard off of East Side Road in the Russian River Valley.” They also bought a used barrel and a hand-cranked destemmer/crusher. “We kind of felt like if we were going to be in the wine business we had to have some of our own equipment, and that was all we could afford.”

10

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

F

But a barrel was made and the two had transformed from wannabes to winemakers. Over the next decade they focused intently on producing the best wines possible from the best sources they could find. The Kosta Brown style is to make wines that are intense, flavorful and balanced. The formula and the flavor profile of the wines resonated with pinot aficionados, and the wines became legendary.

They created a business model, along with a third partner, Chris Costello, that emphasized direct sales to consumers and allocations to a limited number of restaurants. It worked In 2009, in the heart of the great recession, Vincraft, a wine investment group, bought a controlling interest in Kosta Browne for a reported $40 million. While the rest of America was reeling, the boys who had been putting tip money in an envelope just a few years before were suddenly the talk of the wine industry.

That same year they struck even greater gold. The 2009 Sonoma pinot noir vintage was epic and Kosta Brown made 11 wines from it. Their 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, made from fruit sourced in three cool climate vineyards, Gap’s Crown, Terra de Promissio and Walala, went on to be named as Wine Spectator’s No. 1 wine of the year in 2011. An accolade that is the equivalent in the wine business of a Super Bowl win.

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

Today, Kosta Brown makes close to 20,000 cases of wine a year in their facility in Sebastopol, California.

In 2015 a Boston based private equity firm, J.W. Childs Associates, purchased the controlling interest for an undisclosed sum in deal which allowed Dan, Michael and Chris to maintain 40 percent ownership.

“It’s fun because our new partners love wine,” Dan said about the purchase. “We have been able to get lots of new investment in the winery, and it looks great.”

D e c e m b e r 1 - D e c e m b e r 7, 20 16

The dream started with a single used barrel. The barrel room today is quite different.

But the real fun comes in Kosta Browne’s acquisition this past August of an exceptional vineyard in Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley, a sweet spot for great cool climate pinot noir. The Cerise Vineyard, high above the town of Boonville, has been know to produce high-quality fruit that many suggest is of “Grand Cru” quality.

“We’re looking forward to living in that vineyard a bit and taking some time to see exactly what we have,” Dan said. “Our standards are very high and we think this acquisition will just take our quality to another level.”

He does not rule out other purchases, as well.

“Were open to a lot of things” he mused.

In a world where business plans and finances drive so many businesses it is refreshing to find one built on dreams, heart and good taste. “It’s hard to believe and sometimes we’ve got to pinch ourselves,” Dan said. “We set a dream and achieved it.”

It doesn’t get more American than that.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE 2014 KOSTA BROWNE SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR This is the current iteration of the wine that set Kosta Browne on its high profile trajectory. Seven vineyards converge to make this wine that is a product of the soils of the Sonoma Coast and the winds that blow through the Petaluma Gap. They describe the wine as “Precise fruit, red and crisp, fresh, pretty texture: grippy with bitter chocolate, rose hips.” It sounds so simple.

KOSTA BROWNE WINES Kosta Browne specializes in pinot noir and Chardonnay wines sourced from vineyards in the Russian River Valley, the Sonoma Coast and the Santa Lucia Highlands. They divide their wines into three categories: APPELLATION WINES These wines feature fruit sourced from different vineyards in a specific appellation. “These give us a broader scope and allow us to have a little larger production while still capturing the beauty of the regions.”

SINGLE VINEYARD WINES These wines come exclusively from single vineyards like Keefer Ranch (Russian River), Gap’s Crown (Sonoma Coast) or Pisoni (Santa Lucia Highlands). “We make, I think, nine single vineyard wines now and it is an exercise in isolating a single spot, a single place and getting the most out of that vineyard.”

THE WINEMAKER SERIES Small production wines made from the best of the best. “We call these California wines” because they select only the best lots for the blends. They make a wine from four barrels from each vintage and blend them together.

ABOVE: The Kosta Browne winery in Sebastopol, California, is simple and precise, much like the wines made there.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

TO SERVE AND RESPECT THANKFULNESS IS A YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITY

LAST WEEK many of us spent time reflecting on the things in life for which we are thankful…and then cheapened any sincerity by posting about it on social media. I get it: You want to flaunt mad pie-crimping skills or show off the epic feast you enjoyed while surrounded by 18 homies at Friendsgiving, but at some point it’s more genuine to step from AMANDA RAE the screens and focus on being present with people you love. The holidays may be Insta-worthy, like, 24-7, but the most meaningful connections — not to mention lasting memories — are made IRL. I made a concerted effort to disconnect, beginning on the Tuesday evening before Turkey Day. A couple of gal pals and I signed up to volunteer at Aspen T.R.E.E’s ninth annual Farm to Table Community Meal at the Hotel Jerome. Our mission was to give back to our neighbors, but also it was an opportunity for three friends with constantly clashing schedules to reunite, finally, over a free meal of organic food.

And slop it was not; butternut squash and root vegetable soup sweetened with apple cider; onionbraised greens and red fennel home fries; pasture-raised turkey with fresh herbs; roasted apple compote with honey lavosh and pearbrandy-raisin sauce — 100 percent of ingredients sourced from the Roaring Fork and North Fork valleys.

Bravo to Aspen T.R.E.E executive director Eden Vardy and crew for coordinating such a special feast, which has become one of the mostanticipated traditions of the year.

It was fun to get back into the swing of serving, at least for a few hours. I’m always surprised when an outgoing, food-loving friend admits to never having waited tables at some point in life — at least for a stint in high school, a few summers during college, or a winter season or two in Aspen. I did all of the above, and while many of the necessary

12

skills might seem irrelevant outside of the industry, facilitating an enjoyable dining experience requires a certain level of finesse.

You’re touching people’s plates and privy to personal conversations and subtle interactions that they don’t think you hear or notice. You can learn a lot about social psychology (ahem, how to handle difficult and/ or downright rude humans) by working in a restaurant. At the very least, you’ll never place a fork in the wrong place when helping to set the table at a host’s house.

It’s likely that waiting tables in a restaurant will make you a more considerate diner, too. Until the Community Meal, I’d forgotten what it’s like to rush around a swirl of hungry strangers and eagle-eye tables for empty water pitchers and dirty plates. You’re dodging elbows, fielding questions, and fetching items requested by diners, some not in your section — even doubling back to the kitchen when a neighbor is inspired to desire the same thing.

I have renewed appreciation for the patience — and physical activity — required during a shift.

I don’t miss the chaos of a full house, though. At times commotion mixed with confusion in the Jerome ballroom that night. Surely the notion of capping volunteers to ensure smoother service is something that event organizers haven’t considered — why turn down help, right? Of 200 volunteers at the Community Meal, it seemed as if at least half were charged with distributing food. Together we served 1,200 people over three seatings — at about 400 plates per seating, that works out to each volunteer server handling just four plates (plus family style salad, water, and another four plates of dessert each) per seating.

Veterans can easily carry three plates simultaneously (trays were unavailable), which means that each of us should have only made a handful of trips to the kitchen.

It didn’t quite work out that way, but that’s how it goes!

Despite all this, I suggest that anyone who hasn’t worked in a

D e c e m b e r 1 - D e c e m b e r 7, 20 16

restaurant — or even those who haven’t delivered a dish in decades — volunteer next year. It’s an energizing experience as long as you’re able to remind yourself why you’re there. Perhaps you’ll leave with a better understanding of the intensity inside a hectic kitchen and appreciation for how freaking hot it gets in there. In this case, we had about eight chefs and as many volunteer food handlers plus regular Jerome staff handling orders streaming in from J. Bar. You won’t know what it’s like to be “in the weeds” until you find yourself dropkicked into the jungle.

Though some folks might feel flustered in that environment, I enjoy the excitement. Still, the atmosphere in a restaurant, catering to paying customers, is wildly different from a come-one-comeall supper. There’s no altitude-sick tourist grumbling about a favorite dish that has ghosted from the menu; diners aren’t cajoled into ordering a pricier bottle of wine by an aproned salesperson, nor do they face the shame of sticking to — eye roll — “just ice water for me, thanks.”

At one point during my first shift, a youngish boy seemed to clean his plate before I finished serving the rest of his family. He channeled

Oliver Twist: “Can I have more turkey, please?” His mother patted his back and remarked about his adolescent appetite, but I’d noticed that he had received a paltry portion, which is just the luck of the draw regarding assembly line-style serving at these kinds of events.

Poor fella. He picked at a pile of arugula — there was plenty of salad left in the big wooden bowl on the table — while the rest of his family began to dig in.

Back in the kitchen, I called out for the chefs to fire a solo turkey, no veg. “It’s for a teenager,” I added. “Turkey dry!” was the reply.

“Turkey dry!” Assorted comments were thrown about the room, but I shrugged it off. That’s just what chefs do behind the scenes.

The kid grinned big when I dumped the extra portion of meat — unadulterated by gravy, natch — onto his greens. His mother clucked, as mothers do.

“Thank you so much for being here,” she said, looking me in the eyes for more than a moment. I felt it — she meant it. And that right there made all the crowding and craziness worth it to me. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

by JEANNE MCGOVERN

GET IT $25.00 for a 375 ml bottle www.edenicecider.com

ICE CIDER In searching for unique holiday gifts, I stumbled across this one: Ice cider (think dessert wine) made from heirloom apples. Can you think of anything more appropriate or delicious to serve with a warm apple crisp, apple cake or a nice wedge of cheddar cheese? Eleanor and Albert Leger, founders of Eden Ice Cider, produce a rich, full-bodied ice cider from their apple orchards where they grow both sweet and sour heirloom varietals. A 375 ml bottle is made from more than 8 pounds of apples.

They offer eight ice cider options including honeycrisp as well as a smaller 187 ml limited release Brandy Barrel Heirloom Blend Ice Cider.

Gunilla Asher is taking a break from the bar scene, so we’re turning this page over to you. Email jmcgovern@aspentimes. com with what cocktails you’re mixing, what libations you’re drinking, what tastes have tempted your tastebuds and we’ll share them with our readers. Cheers!

FROM ASPEN, WITH LOVE

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

THE MAGIC OF THE HOLIDAYS AS MUCH AS WE LOVE that special time of year, the holidays can be a trying time. From midNovember to the start of the New Year, we are bombarded with advertisements instructing us to buy that or purchase this. We have a spectacular lineup of chores that ranges from cooking a large bird to wrapping strands of lights BARBARA PLATTS around trees, both indoors and out. We have a long list of loved ones whom we must purchase gifts for, which, if you’re like me, can be very stressful because I put far too much emphasis on getting the perfect item for each person. All of this extra shopping and spending rarely comes with a Christmas bonus or any kind of increased income to help us pay for it all. And, to top it all off, the holidays can bring an excessive amount of time with family.

Growing up, I absolutely adored Christmas and the

GETTY IMAGE

surrounding holidays. What wasn’t to love? There was a plethora of presents congregated under a spectacularly decorated tree. And, just when I thought there wasn’t room for more, a pleasantly plump man would descend through the chimney, delivering even more gifts. And not just any gifts, but the exact ones I wrote him about earlier that year. Christmas also brought incredible amounts of food and a passable excuse for seconds or thirds when it came to dessert.

And, perhaps my favorite thing about that time of year, I got to see my whole family. For me, both then and now, that is the most important part.

Back then, Christmas was just a downright magical time.

But as we grow up, the magic begins to dissipate. It becomes clear that anything coming from Santa actually costs money and does not wrap itself. That incredible amount of food that used to glide through our youthful bodies so expediently now likes to take up residence

on our waist and hips. Sure, we can have seconds and thirds of dessert, but we will be paying for it. And our interactions with our families change. Gone are the simple and fun conversations from childhood. Suddenly, personalities clash more than they used to. Words are misunderstood. And, perhaps most relatable this year, political views and opinions vary deeply.

As we grow up, the holidays become a lot more real, yet our expectations for them remain the same. We feel the need to make it just as magical as it was when we were kids. And often times, that leaves us even more disappointed, stressed and depressed than we would have been if Christmas never came around that year at all.

I realize at this point that I’m sounding rather Grinchlike. I certainly don’t mean to harm the Christmas spirit, or make anyone feel more stressed out than they already do. But I think it’s important, as we make our way into the throes of

adulthood, that we understand things may not be as fantastical as they once were. But that’s OK. When you peel off the layers of magic that include Mr. and Mrs. Claus, reindeer, mother’s homemade chocolate chip cookies, games of hide-andseek with siblings and cousins and those mysterious, brightly colored packages underneath the tree, things get more real. We have to accept that our relatives may never love the gifts we get them. We have to agree to disagree on some of the hardest issues relating to the election.

And we have to remember that underneath the silly Hallmark cards and the gaudy decorations, the most important thing is to spend time with the people we love. We can’t put a price tag on something like that.

Barbara Platts loves spending time with her family. However, she certainly doesn’t mind opening a present or two on Christmas morning. Reach her at bplatts.000@gmail.com.

CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T HARDLY WAIT THE 2016-17 MOST ANTICIPATED LIST

BY ANDREW TRAVERS

D e c e m b e r 1 - D e c e m b e r 7, 20 16

HERE’S A RELIABLE pattern and rhythm to a winter season in Aspen.

The snow falls (inevitably, sooner or later), then the tourists come out of hibernation after Thanksgiving and the opening of the ski hills and a cavalcade of culture and entertainment comes with them. Our stages and screens and galleries explode over Christmas week, with a dependably stellar slate of worldclass offerings. Then there’s the post-New Year lull, followed by a dual celebration of local and gay pride at Wintersköl and Gay Ski Week, the youthful madness of Winter X Games, the muchneeded midwinter chuckles at Laugh Fest, the free-for-all of spring break, and the last hurrah of Aspen Shortsfest.

Along with our bedrock traditions – Aspen Santa Fe Ballet’s “The Nutcracker,” Aspen Film’s Academy Screenings, “Small Wonders” at the Aspen Chapel Gallery, a hot act playing New Year’s Eve at Belly Up (Chromeo returns this year) — we get some new wrinkles and what might be some fresh season standards: a Christmas night concert by the Ten Tenors at the Wheeler Opera House, for instance, and seven newcomers to the JAS Café.

The shape of this season feels a little bit upside-down, with the World Cup finals taking over town in mid-March and no Thanksgiving Winternational races and festivities. So the best is yet to come.

You never know which performances and events we’ll be talking about at winter’s end.

But for now, mark your calendars ... these are the most anticipated events of the season for art, books, comedy, dance, film, music and theater.

DENISE LATOUSEK of Burn Fitness in Basalt hosted a pre-Thanksgiving party at her studio on Saturday, Nov. 19, as a thank you to the community. She welcomed regular clients, friends and family for an evening of “indulgence, inspiration and celebration” with drinks, hors d’oeuvres, mini makeovers and a dance party.

Making way for the festivities, Latousek moved fitness bikes and equipment out of the studio, opening up the space first

for Beautycounter products and cosmetic consultations from the California-based start-up that sells non-toxic make-up, hair, baby and skincare products.

Next, she cleared the space once again, turned down the lights and turned up the DJ for a full-blown dance party with, to be expected, scores of fit women and men filling the dance floor. Michael Latousek stopped the music for a moment, surprising his Scorpio wife with a cake for

her birthday on Nov. 23. By the time, the party wrapped the hostess was already talking about cementing it as an annual event. Until then, get your energy boost from classes at the Basalt fitness center — visit www.burnfitnessstudio.com for the schedule and details.

VOYAGES

ESCAPE ARTIST | NEW ORLEANS

by AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY

TAPPING INTO THE BEST OF NEW ORLEANS FOR KIDS FOR MY YOUNGEST SON’S 8th birthday his wish was to visit the one American city he’s been fascinated with since he was old enough to speak – New Orleans.

My only experience with the city had been a debaucherous, long Jazz Fest weekend several years prior to his birth. But I knew there must be more to New Orleans than Bourbon Street and AMIEE WHITE BEAZLEY late nights that turn into early mornings.

Experiencing the city through the eyes of a curious and energetic 8-year-old helped me see the splendor of New Orleans in an entirely new light.

STAY: Henry Howard Hotel. When traveling with kids, I firmly believe in staying in the best location you can. The extra money spent on a hotel with a prime location, regional architecture and charm,

along with kid-friendly amenities, enhances the overall experience and leaves a strong impression on young travelers. (Not to mention, if you are going home for the night at 9 p.m., it should be back to a room, staff and location you love.) For this trip, I chose the Henry Howard Hotel, a former Garden District mansion turned new, boutique hotel, one block from St. Charles, where streetcars continuously run to and from downtown. There were cocktails on the porch in rocking chairs, warm chocolate chip cookies at turndown and real brass instruments adorning the customtoile-covered walls.

EAT: Commander’s Palace. Within walking distance of the Henry Howard Hotel, there is no better way to experience the food of New Orleans than at the legendary Commander’s Palace. The Jazz Brunch on Saturday and Sunday mornings is a true Crescent City party complete with a three-piece

band. There is a dress code, which gives kids a chance to dress up and experience the haute-Creole cuisine that made New Orleans and Commander’s Palace famous. For me, the Chicory Coffee Lacquered Texas Quail, with fire-roasted, chili boudin served over smoky bacon wilted greens is a dish I will never forget. The service is impeccable and the tradition of a morning (or evening) here should not be missed.

HEAR: Music Box Village. If the lines at Preservation Hall are too long for your family to bear, there is a new family-friendly music venue in the Bywater called the Music Box Village. A project of the nonprofit New Orleans Airlift, the Music Box Village is a collection of eclectic musical houses created by artists and designers in the city. Invited musicians and performance artists can come and create a symphony with the houses or use them as extended objects of their own vision.

Each performance “highlights the

city’s underground art and underthe-radar artists, transporting the dynamic street culture, living folk culture and growing contemporary arts scene of New Orleans.” There also are hours where kids and adults can get inside of the houses and make music for themselves. An original New Orleans creation worth checking out.

EXPERIENCE: I was hesitant at first to visit The National World War II Museum – wondering why we would spend our time at a war museum when there were beignets to eat and marching bands to follow. But the six-building campus of the World War II Museum was a highlight, bringing to life the stories and the actions of the “Greatest Generation” in a way that is interactive, greatly detailed and impactful. We spent a long afternoon touching artifacts, hearing first-hand accounts and learning what these fights on opposite sides of the world meant for Americans and all of humanity.

ON THE CHECKLIST: Walking through the French Quarter is always an experience, but if you are with kids, yes, it’s still best to avoid Bourbon Street. That said, we explored much of downtown on foot and had a great time ducking into the galleries, cafes and museums.

In Jackson Square we stopped to watch the street performers, and ate beignets at Café du Monde (still the best in the city!). As for tours, we took a carriage ride from Jackson Square for a little French Quarter insight and later jumped on a two-hour city tour, which was the easiest way for us to see the Ninth Ward, and learn how Hurricane Katrina impacted the people of New Orleans, as well tour local cemeteries and see other points of interest.

Getting to New Orleans from Colorado is simple and direct. With a flying time of just a little over two hours, by lunchtime we were eating barbecued shrimp. New Orleans is a special American city whose language, cuisine and unique American story should be celebrated and experienced with your children.

No doubt the impact it makes on the entire family unit will be everlasting.

BOOK REVIEW

‘RULER OF THE NIGHT’ DAVID MORRELL’S conclusion to the trilogy featuring Thomas De Quincey is another example of stellar writing and storytelling. In the two previous novels featuring the essayist and opium addict, Morrell has taken the reader on a journey back in time to Victorian London, and in “Ruler of the Night,” he saves the best for last as he centers on a crime that haunted London.

It’s 1855 and transportation by train has just been introduced.

Though many are wary of the vehicles that belch black smoke,

NOTEWORTHY others are fascinated. When a man is murdered, panic ensues.

The crime is brutal, and people begin to grow wary of train travel. Though the real crime Morrell depicts occurred in 1864, the details are accurate.

Fact and fiction blend effortlessly as De Quincey and his daughter Emily search for the culprit. Thomas has been trying to kick his addiction, but he’s struggling. Working with his daughter and their Scotland Yard friends to solve the mystery might help him end his need for opium — or lead him into a

dark spiral that could lead to an overdose.

Real historical figures mix with the heroes, and the thriller elements are both terrifying and grotesque. Morrell’s impeccable research shines, as the story feels authentic and vivid. Readers will feel transported to Victorian London with all of the sights and sounds that go with it.
