Denver

Fun times this weekend in Denver for Dan’s bachelor party, expertly orchestrated by Blake.

Fun Facts about Denver:

• Don’t let the name fool you, the DEN airport is nowhere near the actual city.
• Where are the mountains?  This place is flat.
• Denver is the birthplace of the cheeseburger, a 1935 creation by Louis Ballast.  Despite this, Denver has one of the lowest obesity rates in the country.
• In the upper deck at Coors Field, there is a stripe of purple-painted seats to mark the “mile-high” altitude.
• In 1976, Denver voters politely declined the opportunity to host the Winter Olympics.  The Games went to Innsbruck, Austria instead, and Denver remains the only city to reject their Olympic bid.
• Coors Light doesn’t taste any better (or worse) when it’s died purple for opening day.

Unfortunately I seem to have contracted some sort of painful sinus disease.  The right side of my face is throbbing.  According to WebMD, things to avoid when fighting sinus congestion:

• Cold, dry air
• Alcohol
• Smoky bars

Apparently I was digging my own grave.
