Getting ready to head to Colorado to see Joe.   We were pretty excited about watching the NCAAs together until Colorado got snubbed (to the dismay of everybody who is anybody in college basketball.  Multiple announcers were dumbfounded and Al McGuire is spinning in his grave like a basketball on the tip of a Harlem Globetrotter’s finger.  Anyway, we will watch at least until Marquette gets knocked out and well, we’ll have to keep watching to make sure Notre Dame doesn’t advance and, well, we like Kansas now that Jeff is going there…

We will be skiing on Saturday at Copper Mountain.  I know Colorado is supposed to be some of the world’s best skiing but I’m a little worried about this powder thing after skiing on New York ice and Tahoe cement all these years.  Will I be spoiled?  Will I not know how to deal with it?  I’ll keep you posted.

Ah, my rant.  So it’s midnight and I’m paying a few bills before I go and twice now I’ve tried to put the bill inside the return envelope provided by the company and the envelope, supposedly letter size, is too small for the bill. This has always been an issue with check sized return envelopes, you’d have to fold the check, but now even a letter you’re supposed to return can’t fit inside a letter sized return envelope?

It’s kind of like the sizes of things getting smaller so they don’t have to raise prices.  It just makes me wonder if one of these days I’m going to pay my ten bucks for my bottle of Oil of Olay and I’ll get home and there will be nothing in it.  I’m so tired.

I’m going to bed.  I told you it was insignificant.

I promise to write to you from my hospital bed in the Orthopedic Unit of Boulder Community Hospital….
