I really am enjoying getting out, meeting people and being productive. What spare time I have generally goes to following the Nuggets and Avalanche, especially the Avs. Maybe when summer comes I'll have more time. I'll likely work the 'early bird' shift and be done by ~11:00 am.
Awhile ago before Xmas, I picked up a guy from Costa Rica who was in Phoenix on business. I happen to mentioned I spent most of my adult life in Denver and asked him if he'd ever been there. He replied "yes, my dad went to DU and I've been there a couple of times and I am headed there next week." I asked what he would be doing in Denver and all he would say is a client requested he fly in for some training.
Then later the same night a guy and his two friends were jabbering about his job. He lives in Kansas City but he works for Martin/Martin Engineering (HQ in Denver) and he was part of a team that was seeking a structural engineering & facilities management contract of the sprawling Hallmark complex (85-acre hotel, office, entertainment and residential complex surrounding Hallmark’s world headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.) He started talking about the infamous Hyatt Regency walkway collapse back in 1981. I'd assume you remember that engineering failure, eh?
Always interesting the 'small' world we live in.
