Papa John's and Absinthe...

Hey Friends,

It's a bit late already (12:23 AM), so I don't have much time to blog tonight. Today was pretty awesome though; we had free lunch at work (Papa John's) and learned all about Clay Aiken coming out of the closet. haha. Not quite, we learned some other things, like how to get traffic to your website. Anyway, it was a good day at Homestead, but the rest of the day was much more memorable.

After work I went for another run at the clubhouse, and felt absolutely great for the 3 miles I put in. After that, Palmer and I went to the light rail station to catch a ride to Union Station in Denver. The sunset was beautiful across the mountains. When we arrived at Union, when wandered to a place called Rock Bottom (no irony needed here). There we had a nice sampler of some micro-brewed beers, and enjoyed some great food. From there we went to The Pour House, an Irish pub/bar with great people serving honestly. I had a great blueberry martini, and then ventured further with some absinthe. Yeah, 136 proof...black licorice...with fire. We had the best bartender - Captain Curt. He was a great person to conversate with, and we got lots of good Denver tips - particularly regarding the purchase of scalped tickets. You'll see the pics once I post them, but the Pour House was a really cool place to be - even on a Wednesday.
On the way back, Palmer and I got into a nice dialogue about religion and God. Not what I expected, but a stimulating dialogue none the less. Iron sharpens iron, and maybe co-worker sharpens co-worker. We'll see how that goes. I'm still in process on a lot of things, and I certainly welcome the fires of testing. That's really the only way to get to that pure thing you believe.

Well, that's all he wrote for this evening folks. I hope you subscribe to this blog, otherwise this exercise is entirely for my benefit, and you won't get to share in the fun. I can't wait to get back to see your faces and hear your voices; I truly miss them.

Until then,
