Tax Day in Mile High City
Travel isn't as fun when you're alone or doing it for work. I guess that could go for a few things, but I won't go there.
I'm now in Denver, home of the the Broncos and UH alums Ashley Lelie and Jason Elam. Used to be the home for a bunch of Stanford players, too, including John Elway, Ed McCaffrey, Darrien Gordon, and Donnie Spragan. But I digress. The city is beautiful and clean, and there are patches of snow everywhere due to the blizzard earlier in the week, but the weather is great now (low 70's and sunny).
I ate at Flemings Prime Steakhouse tonight, right near my hotel, and the food was excellent. I felt pretty weird eating alone in such a nice restaurant, as though everyone was thinking I had been stood up on a blind date (you think she came in, saw what you looked like, then left?). And I didn't even get free crab cakes! Well, I suppose everything was free. I'm not accustomed to paying for meals.
One more day of training, and then it's back to the Bay Area for a couple of days before getting back on a plane, this time to Seattle. I'm looking forward to my trip to Hawaii at the end of the month, but at this point, I just want to sleep in my own bed.

Ack! What's with all the travelling you've been doing? I certainly sympathize. I think for me it's the eating alone in restaurants that is the most difficult; I feel as if meals should either be social or completely solitary (i.e. not in a restaurant).
If you're going to be around this weekend, want to go tooling in my new mini? I pick it up tomorrow! Yay!
Ooh - the famous mini has finally arrived! Exciting stuff! =)
Dude, I saw this British guy that could parallel park his mini in a space less than a foot longer than his car. He did it by skidding through a U-turn. I think there's a word for that but I'm at a loss right now.
Anyway, I'd like to give it a shot in your car, if you don't mind.
Ooh! That sounds fun! I think you have to go to driving school for that kind of thing.
And no, you can't learn how to do it in my brand-span new mini! Learn how to do it in your own car; then maybe I'll let you try it :)
Sweet, the new mini! I'm up for a ride.
You can let Andrew drive your car. He is the SLOWEST, safest driver I know. No way he's gonna try anything like drifting. He doesn't even know what it's called!
if your mini is pink with white racing stripes, ill buy it off you with my entire life savings! whaddya say?
Sorry - my mini is blue w/o racing stripes. Sorry to disappoint :)
