excited much?

A friend and I are hiking Bierstadt this summer - so he decided to make a little graphic for it with a depiction of us on the hike. I think I'm going to have Tshirts made of this:



HA!!!!!

and this is why I didn't want to work for Oracle

It's led by a guy who loves to ridiculously flaunt his own wealth.

1 Year, Today.

Wow - I can't believe it has been a year since my dad died.

This weekend I did one of those Nastar Races at Copper. I've never done one, but Dad loved to do them, he did them all the time. I figured it was appropriate. I got a bronze medal, so hooray!

But yeah... a whole year. Crazy.

I could never make this up

But I think it's brilliant!

It is Spring Break, and here in Colorado all the kiddies who want something other than the beach scene come out to Summit County to go skiing or snowboarding - or at least to wear the clothes and look like they are here for skiing or snowboarding.

So a few of us semi-locals from The Condo decide to go out on Saturday night. At dinner a significant portion of our conversation was about how old we all look compared to the spring breakers. One guy in particular, D-Mo, was getting lots of teasing from the group since he is pushing 40. D-Moe is your average looking white guy, on the tall side, sandy blond hair. He could never pass for 40 but he definitely looks like he is solidly in his 30's.

Dinner ends and we move on to the bars. At the first establishment, the doorman takes my ID, looks it over, gives it back and waves me in. D-Mo is right behind me so imagine my surprise when I hear the doorman say to him "I don't think so, buddy."

I whip around and say "WHAT?!?" D-Mo is laughing as he hands me his ID. The picture on the ID is of some big black guy from Illinois with some crazy name! I nearly fell on the beer-soaked floor, I was laughing so hard!

D-Mo hands the doorman his real ID and we go into the bar. He ordered us a round and explained he uses that ID because it's ridiculous that he gets carded at all. I don't stop laughing until I am through with that first beer.

And the best part is, at the next bar we went to, he used that same ID and they waved him right in!
