Stuart Celebrates His 58th

Stuart and I celebrated Stuart's 58th birthday at Reivers, on old South Gaylord Street, this evening.  Reivers used to be - and probably still is - a hangout for DU students back when Stuart was in graduate school at the University of Denver and I was the manager of Hatch's Bookstore at the University Hills Mall.  Back then Stuart, who also was a part-time Hatch's employee, was affectionately know as "Stinky."  I remember Joanne, another DU student and Hatch's employee, looking out the window of the store each afternoon and shouting "Here comes Stinky in his Stinkmobile!" as Stuart drove up in his car to work the evening shift.  A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since that time, although I can't help but notice that we are still drinking in the same bar after all those years.  Talk about a rut.
