Yesterday after a late start, we made it to Denver around 11. Upon arrival Ty found out he had three new foreign exchange students from the Middle East. Now we’re the farthest thing from racist but there’s a huge cultural difference with these guys. Their religion, eating and personal habits and other things made it uncomfortable for Ty. Lori marched straight into the office and in her best “I fix things mode”, had him moved to a single lock off room that’s part of a three bedroom unit on the first floor within 30 minutes. There was a incident in the first semester where two of Ty’s roommates had pulled a prank on his other roommate that didn’t end well. The two pulling the prank (they tried to get Ty first until he told them, and I’m using his words, “get the fuck out of here or I’ll throw down on you”) we’re kicked out of school. At that point Ty had requested a single room so we already had things in motion. So, all’s well and Ty is now in a nicer room with two other guys that are a better fit. Lori and I left him and headed to Target for about $600 worth of food and stuff he needed including bedding as he now has a larger bed. That in itself was worth moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile Jag headed back to Boulder and was getting some groceries for the upcoming week. We did stop at one of Lori’s favorite stores and she found some new clothes. On the way home we stopped to visit with Marty and Melanie and were finally home about 6:30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we’ll get back into our normal kid free routine here at home. We actually do quite well on our own, ha. Lori is still sleeping but we’ll hit the gym this morning. We have dinner reservations tonight at Craftsman. Other than that, all’s good. I’m cancelling my day trip to San Francisco on the 23rd and will do it by Zoom. Too much weather out there and I decided I don’t want to get up at 3 am for a 40 minute meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy the weekend, Almost half way through the month, get outside! God Bless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
