Love-land and beer

A couple from Milwaukee came to visit Mike. I was able to get a ride to Denver with them. We were all delirious making our way down the mountain at 9am. Paul, who was driving, and I laughed the entire three hour trip. The rental Chevy Impala kept applying the ABS on account of braking on such a grade. So, as Paul drove, his upper body was engulfed by the shaking of the wheel.

At Denver International I waited two hours for an hour long Super Shuttle ride to Loveland, CO; getting in 3 more This American Life episodes. My Dad’s oldest and best friend Don lives on a lake there. He welcomed me with a hug and a beer. (I immediately decided to stay an extra day or two)

Down the street, we had dinner at Fred and Debbie’s, who are Don and his wife’s best friends. It was just an average home.
I drank New Belgium Mighty Arrow from the kegerator, played the blues on a 1967 Gibson and with some rather fluffy dogs. Golf Monday at The Olde Course and maybe take out the boat. Tuesday we are heading to visit the New Belgium Brewery.

  1. I could seriously see this turning into an international brewery tour.
