Yesterday was the usual day full of work, errands and cleaning but around 5pm we went to Cherry Creek to meet the misses for a quick bite to eat and to try on a dress or two at the 65% off sale at Neimans. By the time we made it downtown (traffic was brutal) we agreed to just go eat. When we were done we felt like we should at least stop in as our friend had pulled a few things for Lori.
We knew Nicole (our friend) was leaving at 5pm so she told us to ask for Linda. Well, long story short, Linda turned out to be Linda Smaldone. She is one of the 4 girls that lived 2 houses from us when we grew up! Apparently she has been working there for 9 years but we have never seen her. Her younger sister Paula and I hung out a lot when we were kids and I even went to Linda’s wedding! Now their family was THE mafia family of Denver back in the day. Her dad, who’s 84 and living close and doing fine, even wrote a book about it. Anyhow we caught up on the past 40 years and agreed that we’d all get together, what a small World.
Ok, today we have the Pres in town for a speech, what fun, (that’s sarcasm). The Governor, our Senator and another guy running for Senate will all not be going to his speech as they say they all have previous commitments. Hmmm, I think it’s because they don’t want to be seen with Obummer as he’s not really that popular here. I mean what a coincidence that all three of our top politicians are too busy the same day the Pres comes to town, hmmmm.
For us we’ll be packing all day getting ready to hit the road in the morning. Lori will of course be working all day with a pounding head. Her head has been really really bad the past few days. We just can’t figure it out. If we get to Aspen and her head is all better again, we’ll know for sure it has something to do with the allergies down here and then have to decide what to do about it. All I know is we’re not going to go through another 3 years of headaches if we can help it.
All three of us boys went for haircuts yesterday and mine is the shortest, then Jag’s and Ty managed to keep the most hair! That’s about it, time to get moving as I need to get to the gym and back by 8. Take care, have a great day and God Bless.
