Broken wrist....
Hey guys! As most of you know (who have seen my facebook page) I broke my wrist ("fractured radius") this past Sunday. I had one or two cocktails watching the Broncos eek out another win and fell down the stairs. I'm not the most graceful gazelle anyway and slightly accident-prone so it's really no surprise. It's my left wrist so could be worst. Also, if I'm going to break something, just glad it's before ski season kicked in. However, it takes 10x longer to write out emails so this will be short. Not much has been going on any way. Have the Great American Beer Festival coming up and the Denver Gorilla Run (which yes! I'm still planning on running - well, at least walking) so those pictures will be great. Will update the blog though with the wrist pics as soon as I can. The guy I was hanging out with that night has a broken foot so it'll make for a good gimpy picture - if we get together again. Ha! Oh - and the orthopedist I went to today's dad went to Clemson - small world! - he wanted me to get an orange cast which I nixed after a couple of minute's thought. After all ladies - we all know orange is not the most flattering color on a girl - especially if this guy nevers call back... Hope everyone has a great one!

Back in Mile High...
from Charleston and the great city of Cleveland... ugh. No offense Ohioans but I'll be okay if I never have to go there again - although the Irish pub we landed at was pretty cool - Flanagan's? Finnegan's? something like that. You can't really go wrong with a Guinness and a grilled cheese though.
Anyway, just a quick blog to say Howdy. It's a crappy day here in Denver. It's SNOWING in Breckenridge right now - crazy. But! this is also the weekend when all the beer festivals/Oktoberfests start happening in Denver... If anyone is bored October 10-11, feel free to make the trip for the best beer festival in the US... There is a story about The Great American Beer Festival on msn.com today:

So, tomorrow I'll be arising bright and early to watch ESPN GameDay at 8am and then heading to a bar around 10am for the Clemson game. Don't be surprised if some of y'all get some texts/phone calls from me tomorrow around halftime - depending on how we're doing. With that, I'll sign off and hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Go Tigers!!! and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Go Dawgs too!

College Football and....more college football
What's up everyone? I'm in Charleston and still blogging away. I am here until Sunday so I hope to see a lot of y'all before I go back to Mile High. You'll know I'll be at KSG for most of Saturday so hopefully see y'all there. Gonna make this quick though because gotta go watch Wheel of Fortune with my Mom.
So, the Labor Day weekend started Saturday morning Dawn and I headed to Colorado Springs for the Air Force Academy game, where unfortunately, it would be the highlight of the weekend... (not because AF was bad, just because of the horrendous showing of the Tigers that night). But, had a great time at the game. Everyone was super-nice and they had a fly-by before the game that was unbelievable and at halftime, they gave a show with a live falcon. Cool stuff.
Then, headed back to Denver and to a bar where I tried to recruit the other barflys to be Clemson fans before the game started. I was embarrassed by this about 6.5 minutes into the game. And that's all I'll I'm going to say right now about the game.
Sunday consisted of getting the troops together to tailgate for the CU (Colorado Univ)/CSU (Colorado State University) game. Now THIS I could get into. It's the biggest rivalry for CSU and people had been drinking since the night before. The CSU crowd are a great bunch of boozers and I saw more T-shirt dresses than at a Mrytle Beach WAVES store. It was great. My favorite shirt I saw, which I know could be used for any school, was "I'd rather have my sister in a whorehouse, than a brother who goes to CU". Good times even though CSU lost (as usual against CU apparently). Pics to come...
Anyway, see a lot of y'all tomorrow!
