One mile high. \u00a0And I can get higher yet if I can just find one of those spliffy new marijuana shops. \u00a0In fact, I plan to find one. \u00a0I want a hat or a t-shirt or a sweat-shirt. \u00a0Memorabilia from the state where the 60’s finally became legal. \u00a0Makes a guy a little sentimental when he thinks of his grandchildren growing up in such a place.<\/p>\n
While still on the straight Minnesota side of this journey I had that familiar geezer experience of a hearing a noise that seemed, well, like something I’d heard before. \u00a0Yep. \u00a0It was my phone, tucked deep in my backpack trilling out its vaguely Celtic ringtone. \u00a0I found it. \u00a0It was Tom Crane and Roxann.<\/p>\n
They had come down to my gate to see me off. \u00a0They had a later flight headed to Idaho. \u00a0It was great fun to see them both. \u00a0In this age of security the old family send off at the jet way is a thing of the last millennia. \u00a0Very nostalgic.<\/p>\n
15 minutes through security which Tom who is a multi-thousands of miles a year flier said was pretty good and an on-time liftoff. \u00a0In Denver the skiers and snowboarders streamed off the planes and through the airport lugging their extra long baggage and wearing ultra-hip apres ski attire. \u00a0They’re ready for a week-end of cold weather sports. \u00a0Of course, it was 58 when we landed. \u00a0The mountains should take care of that.<\/p>\n
Three things here this week-end: \u00a0skiing and snowboarding, the Great National Western Stock Show and the Broncos in the NFL title game Sunday afternoon. \u00a0I’ve already seen more orange jerseys than cowboy boots and Stetsons. \u00a0Denver is happening.<\/p>\n
Oh, and I have to go to Radio Shack. \u00a0No charger in my kit. \u00a0It was on my list and I thought I had two but they turned to be other things.<\/p>\n
The rental car is a Ford something, Fusion I think. \u00a0A nice car, tight steering, solid feel on the road. \u00a0The interior design is a little Transformerish, but functional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
