4. Drinking, yes.
Lemonade though. Although, I might switch to something harder later.

I have a slight headache. :nopity:

You're headache is probably due to altitude in Denver.
Even at DIA, out on the plains, you're still a mile above sea level. Everytime I fly back home from extended visits to sea level relatives and friends I suffer from altitude headache/sickness.

Driving is much better.

Just don't drink TOO much. The baggage claim is the worst place in the world to be hungover. I know this from experience. :evilgrin:

31. Actually it wasn't all sad.
The service of course had sad moments, but lots of funny moments, too. The music, partially provided by goodboy was stunningly good.

There was also a wake. :beer:

I did some sight-seeing and had some fun along with honoring Andy's memory.

There was this bar in Seattle called the War Room. Their logo was a Soviet-style military emblem. If they were open, I was going to ask if they had t-shirts.

Bluest I've ever seen? I don't know about that, but it was gorgeous. It was like spring in Austin, minus the pollen.

35. Yeah, we should.
Barbara and I discussed this over the weekend. The last time Andy was in town, back in December, we had brunch at Trudy's north. We thought it would be a neat idea to have brunch there and toast his memory.

41. So have you been following the Rove affair?
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 03:07 PM by crispini
Every time something new comes out I get so excited I could wet my knickers. I really think somebody big's gonna get indicted. Maybe not Rove, but somebody big. It's like Watergate for our generation, LIVE on the nightly news! :evilgrin:

Edited to add: Look! I had a great thread on Patrick Fitzgerald over the weekend, made "Greatest" and everything! :7

43. I didn't have TV on the boat, so not really.
However, I transitioned to a hotel last night. I caught a little bit of news before crashing. ABC this morning was throwing Libby and Rove under the bus a bit. :7

Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 03:10 PM by crispini
And Shrub is too "loyal" :eyes: to cut loose from Rove so this stuff is just going to drag on and on and on.

Fitzgerald sounds FANTASTIC. "The Original Untouchable." I'm so stoked, after all, Judy Miller would not be sitting in jail if he didn't have something big, IMO.

Edited to add: I am dangerously on the verge of getting obsessed with this story! :P

I'm all about the nonpartisan corruption chasing. Get the bad guys, no matter what stripe they are. And if someone is indicted, we're going to be hearing about this for MONTHS. :P

And you know that his opponent for NEXT year is going to beat him with that stick every chance he gets. At least, he'd better. He (the opponent) is not terribly bulldog-like yet, hopefully his teeth will get sharper as the campaign continues. :7

btw, the best food/shops/libations are to be found in B Terminal. If you're not there but your layover is long, hop the train between terminals and get something decent to eat and drink.
