The kids go back to school today as the misses said. On top of that, the temps are supposed to drop big time. By Saturday when the Broncos play it’ll be in the teens. I’ll be in Italy hopefully watching the big game at 10:30 at night somewhere. I can’t believe I’m going to miss it. If or should I say, when they win, they’ll then play the following weekend and I’ll be there for sure. I sure hope we win!
As Mom said, the kids went downtown to hand our sandwiches and water to homeless people, quite the wake up call. here’s a couple of comments,

Sounds like a fun birthday party and I’m very proud of the boys for thinking of others.
Ty was a little scared he said as he thought they’d mob him for food. He still stood strong and handed out food to people. He told me one guy told him he just got a job and was really thankful for the ham and cheese sandwich. Lots of people told them “God Bless you”. Our friends who went along were armed as John is the commander of the RTD Police Force here in Denver so I felt ok about letting them go.
You’re lucky as the misses will be doing the blog for the next 7 or 8 days. I thought I’d give her a break today so she could sleep in one last time. The flu is really bad everywhere. I had our doctor friend write me a couple of prescriptions for Tamiflu and a Z Pak to stick in my bag just in case. I’ll really be trying not to touch anything on all the planes I’ll be on and I always take a lot of alcohol wipes with me and wipe down my seat and everything as soon as I board. I’m waiting to see if I get upgraded, sure hope so as coach to Germany is no fun.
Time to run as I need to finish packing and then get everyone up. My hunting and shooting buddy came by yesterday as he’s back in town for a week after working twenty nine 18 hour days in a row up in North Dakota in the oil fields. He made something like $30,000 but what a tough job. He’ll soon be getting on (he hopes) with Homeland Security as he’s ex military and they’re on a hiring spree, hmmm. We joke it’ll be good to have someone on the “inside”. Lots going on everywhere. I’m a bit worried more than usual about the economy and stuff this year as our current path is just not sustainable. Hope I’m just overly cautious here and nothing happens but all the economic signs point to a tough year. Hope everyone is ready.
Have a great week, pray for the Bronco’s and God Bless. If anyone needs anything from Italy (my Mom wants another sweater and the misses needs some shirts), send an email or let the misses know and I’ll do my best to try to get it for you!
Kuddos to the kiddos!
