I made it to and from Houston with relatively few issues. A guy in front of me in 1st Class did put his seat back all the way for the whole trip down, but I guess I shouldn’t complain. I did hop on an earlier flight to get home that put me in Denver at 5:10, 2 hours ahead of schedule. By 7:30 I was home in Vail. Of course today, I’m right back down in Denver showing wines to a big account for our annual pre-sell.
Ty went to town yesterday to meet his friend Sonny and they then went to the movies before riding home with Mom and then having Sonny spend the night. Ty’s quite independent these days as he rode his bike to town by himself, no small feat as it’s 5 miles, and then left it at Mom’s office in the hospital to hang out in town with Sonny, who took the bus in on his own! The boys sure are growing up.
Houston was good. I landed and my driver picked me up (nice guy from Nigeria who is a republican and started his own business from scratch and now has 5 cars) and took me to the GrandDuca Hotel. This place is like the Plaza in New York or something, very very luxurious and as they say in Texas, big! Anyhow I had my meeting which went very well and then Samson (my driver) zipped me back to the airport. Due to my status, I managed to get on the earlier flight and even ended up in the Exit Row! There were 12 people on standby but I was number 4 and ended up on the plane which as I said, put me in 2 hours earlier.
It’s cool up here this morning. Lori woke up twice during the night to let Mojo out and when I came down, he had chewed up a sleeping bag while apparently laying on the couch, bad dog! Tonight the Broncos play although we have VIP tickets to the rodeo so not sure what we’re doing, probably the rodeo as it’s only preseason, plus Tommy can keep me updated. Time to run, hope all’s well, GB
