Yesterday I was still dragging from my cold, and am still today, but I headed out at 9:30 in the morning to go meet Josh and go to the game. I arrived in Denver around 11 and made a few stops to pick up dog food, some sunscreen and a few other items. Around 12:30 I hooked up with Josh near the stadium and we headed in to our parking lot. Our friends Jeff and Tina were tailgating so we headed over there before going in. I was not feeling well and would not have gone but Josh flew in from Seattle for the game. I had 2 bananas, some Gatorade and some white rice yesterday and that was it.
We made it to our seats about 45 minutes before the game started to take in the pregame festivities. Soon the game started and for the first half we didn’t play well at all. In fact, the Raiders led the whole game until there was only 6 seconds remaining when we took the lead on a field goal. It was a great victory against the hated Raiders.
I dropped Josh at his rental car which we parked outside the stadium a few blocks away and he headed to the airport for his 10 pm flight home to Seattle. I then headed up the mountain. I was still dragging but thought I’d be home by 7. Of course that didn’t happen due to some truck fire at the tunnel detouring all traffic over Loveland Pass. The pass goes up to 12,000 feet over the Continental Divide and adds at least 45 minutes to the trip, nice. Anyhow I pulled in by 8. Jag was at a movie with some girl and Lori had been cleaning all day long. Ty made it home from his rafting/camping trip where he had a blast. Soon we all went to bed.
I woke this morning around 4 am and couldn’t fall back to sleep so here I am at 5:18 having already fed the dogs and had coffee. Tonight at 6 we have a college seminar meeting for Jag at school at 6 so it’ll be a late night. Here’s a picture of the Continental Divide at about 14,000 feet high out my car window as I was going over the pass. It’s also 99 days until Christmas, wow! Hope everyone has a great week, take care, be safe and God Bless.
