A Year of Change

Lori finally went to the doctor yesterday and they called in an inhaler and anti-biotics too. She’ll get them from the pharmacy this morning as she has some respiratory infection. Glad she finally went in.

Big win for the Broncos. Coaching miscues by the Chargers helped, but a win is a win. On to Thursday Night Football in Denver against the Sea Chickens. Would be huge if we win.

I’m off to the dermatologist for a checkup this morning. Should be back by 2 or so. Nice and cool up here this week. Should get snow up high.

Time to get moving, have a good Monday! GB

20 days until Halloween. Who’s going to a party? That means 21 days until the Christmas decorations go up! Things are moving fast now.

Nice and cool outside and it rained last night. This week should be cooler up here. Crazy El Nino weather all over the World. Some say we’ll get good snow this winter, others say it’ll be another like last year with warm temps and less than normal snowfall. Time will tell.

Phoebe, who we’ve known for 25 years, (she cuts our hair), just had a $92k face lift! She looks amazing! Can’t believe the cost though. Luckily her boyfriend sold his wealth management business for gazillions.

Ty picked up a shift today from 9 until 1. He had some buds over last night to play some games. Marty had his truck detailed yesterday, so he hung out with us in the morning.

Think we’ll walk a few miles this morning and skip weights. I’m at the dermatologist tomorrow morning at 10 in Denver and then am dropping some wine to Chris, my AEG concert guy.

Broncos need a win today! Football is on now as there’s a game in London. Don’t really care about the teams playing but we have it on. Lori seemed to sleep through much of the night as I didn’t hear her coughing a bunch. Hope she’s turned the corner.

Have a great Sunday! God Bless.

Almost a third of the way through October. Soon it’ll be Halloween and then Thanksgiving. Weather should be coming in next week.

Jag had friends from work over last night. On Monday he flies to New York for work until Thursday. I hate him going to New York as it’s a shit hole.

Lori seems a little better today. I tried to make her go to the doctor, but she wouldn’t go. She said they won’t do anything different than what she’s doing. She thinks she’s a doctor, ha.

Crazy weather on the east coast and coming to the west coast. Colorado is pretty isolated from extreme weather other than snow, which is about the only good thing we still have going on.

6:20 now and Lori wants to go to the gym. Marty is coming over this morning to get his truck detailed by my detail guy. I’ll go pick him up around 8:30 as it takes about three hours.

Time to go now so we can get to the gym. Happy Saturday! God Bless.

October 9th. As I said yesterday, it’s Harry’s birthday today, as well as John Lennon’s! Harry and I always call each other, as we’ve known each other since grade school. What a journey it’s been.

We had the cleaners here yesterday, so the house is nice and clean. Robi, your birthday present ships on Monday so I’d be looking for it probably Wednesday or Thursday! With you guys going to Vegas, we sent it early.

Lori was coughing all night long. She says she’s on the mend today. Hope so. She’s had this cold for a couple weeks now. When you get older, it’s tougher to kick colds, get rid of bruises and all kinds of other crap you’d brush off when you were a kid.

We’ll take it easy today, especially Lori. She wants to go to the gym, but I think she needs to stay home and rest today.

Four of us got together for cigars yesterday afternoon. Good to see the guys.

Should be another nice Fall Day. Cool at night and around 72 during the day. Might get some snow the end of next week.

Have a great Friday, be well, stay safe and God Bless.

That’s how long it is until Christmas! Between now and then we have Robi, Tom, Jagger’s, and Annette’s birthdays, and Halloween, Thanksgiving and a bunch of other festivities. Holly’s birthday, I think is Christmas Day and Billy has one in there too, right Robi? Harry, my long time childhood friend’s birthday is tomorrow. So, lots going on and not many days to cram it all in. Then we have the un-fun stuff like election day, finishing up the year at work, and other crap. Is what it is. We choose to focus on the fun stuff rather than the un-fun stuff! Won’t be long until Tom and Holly start putting up Christmas decorations which is the official start of the season!

Ty works at 8 today, Lori is still kicking her cold. I have more calls today and work to prep for meetings going on in Italy every day this week, and we need to get to the gym. It’s beautiful outside but too warm for October 8th. Super El Nino is here and should peak around the end of the year.

Last night we bought the Jackery battery powered backup system for the house as Amazon Prime Days had it on sale at its best price ever. We’ll have our electrician hook up a transfer switch and then if the power goes out, we just flick the switch. It’s not as good as Tom’s system but we can take it with us when we move, and it’ll keep things running for days. For an extended outage like weeks, we’d just pack up and go to Tom’s ha.

That’s it, time to get moving. Have a great Thursday and God Bless.

It’ll be nice again today but next week they say it’s finally cooling down. Not sure what that means as of today. Don’t think the weather people do either.

Ty’s feeling a lot better while Lori is still fighting her cold. It’s tough to kick a cold when you’re working hard and on the go. Hopefully she’ll be better soon.

Dark outside at 5:40am. I’m going to jump in the shower and head down to the warehouse to pick up a couple cases of wine for Chris, my concert ticket guy. They manage the Rolling Stones who Lori just said are touring in 2027! He’s home for a week or so before heading to Indonesia for a few Bocelli concerts.

Ty’s working on his portal to get all his stuff into admissions. We need to pay by the 23rd which is fine. Super excited for Ty as it’ll be the trip of a lifetime.

That’s it, time to get moving. Have a great day and God Bless.

Ty had his big hour long admission interview yesterday and a couple hours later, he received an email saying Congratulations! Attached was the portal where he needs to go in and upload stuff like his passport, vaccination records and other stuff. I haven’t seen it yet but will look today as it also instructs us how to pay. You’d think that means he’s a go! What an epic experience it’ll be for him. Tom and I were talking how it’s not really the kind of thing we’d necessarily want to do, but man, it’s the trip of a lifetime. Not many people can say they sailed across the Atlantic from Africa to Antiqua. Lots to do now as he leaves in about 100 days!

Lori and Ty are still both kicking their colds. We think Lori kicked hers and then picked up another one from Ty that he brought home from work. Knock on wood, as so far, I seem to be in the clear. See there is something good about sex, drugs and rock n roll!

Still gorgeous up here. It’s like the perfect Fall, even though everyone would welcome some snow. I’m sure it’ll come soon, but for now, we’re loving the weather the way it is.

5:45 am now. Lori woke up at 5 which means I woke up at 5:01. I’ll head to the gym and then have calls at 10, 11:15 and 1. Ty is staying home again today to try to kick his cold.

That’s it, have a great day, GB.

Don’t believe any political ads on tv, it’s the silly season. They’ll say anything in their allotted 30 second ad to push your buttons and try to get your brain to think their opponent is bad. They all employ psychologists to try to design their words to trigger your brain. It’s actually a science. No way to fact check, as they’re just hoping because they said it, you’ll believe it. All you need to ask yourself is do you like the way New York, L.A., Chicago and Seattle are being run? If you do, vote Dem, if not, vote Republican. It’s that simple. It has nothing to do with Trump and frankly that’s all the Dems have, Trump bad. I can’t think of a single thing any Democrat has said that they’d do to make things better. Think about it.

Tough game yesterday with some horrible calls and no calls. Three key players were hurt on our side and one of them looks like he was hurt on purpose. Hope they’re all ok.

Ty is off today and still kicking his cold. So is Lori. Ty has his Zoom interview at noon,, and I have calls from 9 until probably 1 or so.

Nice outside, just about perfect. El Nino is here in full force meaning warmer than usual temps. Have a good Monday and be well and take care, God Bless.

Hoping we beat the 49’rs today! Game is at 2:25 this afternoon. Ty works from 7 until 1:30 so he’ll get to watch it. He’s trying to kick Lori’s cold or one he picked up somewhere, probably at work.

This morning at 10, Lori is getting her hair done with April in Glenwood. I think a few of the guys are coming over for the Bronco game. Lori made her famous meatloaf yesterday.

Meanwhile I’m 18 days into eating zero sugar, processed foods or gluten. I feel great and am down like nine pounds. This isn’t just something I thought I’d do, but rather a plan from my Superpower.com app after my bloodwork with over 120 markers came back. It says I’m very healthy with a score of 90/100 but tells you what you need to tweak to be at the optimum. I get another 50 or 60 markers that are more detailed probably this week. My biggest issue is my cholesterol, which is hereditary. Good news is all my inflammation markers are super low which is the real number to check. Anyhow, it’s working for me, and surprisingly I don’t miss sugar one single bit. Really wasn’t that hard to quit either. I’m lucky in that way, as I can pretty much stop or change anything instantly if I really want to. I just need a reason or goal to tell myself to do it. My metabolic age is 52 too, which is 18 years younger than my actual age!

It’s beautiful up here with temps in the low to mid 70’s during the day and the low 40’s, maybe high 30’s at night. It’s warmer than it should be for the first of October, but that’s the Super El Nino. We should get more snow than last year but the middle of winter should be mild, which we’ll gladly take.

Time to go, have a great Sunday and Go Broncos and God Bless.

Yesterday seemed like a Friday but today it’s finally here, thank God. The weekends are something we look forward to more and more these days. They mean usually our phones stop ringing for the most part.

Lori is so bummed that she hasn’t seen any bears! They’re everywhere this year, especially in Aspen where they walk around downtown freely. She’s even up for a drive over there to see if she can see one! Lori is about the only person I know that has lived up here for over ten years that has never seen a bear! Maybe we’ll run over today, we’ll see. I’m sure if we do, every bear will leave Aspen for the couple hours we’re in town, ha.

Ty works at 7 and Lori just woke him up. It’s 6:25 now so he overslept. He’ll be fine though as the restaurant doesn’t open until 8. Looks like a dry week ahead with temps around 80 in Denver meaning the mid 70’s up here. It was beautiful yesterday, a picturesque perfect Fall Day.

The new Tom Cruise movie Digger comes out today! Maybe we’ll go see it. I really want to clean out my closet today. We’ll see if I get to it.

Have a great first Friday of October! God Bless.
