The Usual Suspects

Chris hosted a hugely successful dinner party last night at her home here in Denver.  In the photograph above are (from left to right) Valarie, Jim, Chris, Darrel, and Linda. Valarie, Chris, Darrel and I all used to work together at the DU Bookstore, and the discussion over dinner included Bookstore remembrances, current movies, and craft beer.  We also discussed Valarie's upcoming trip with her daughter Cheyanne to India, where they will attend a wedding and then spend 2 weeks sightseeing.  Valarie says she prefers staying in one location and taking day trips, but that might not work in a country the size of India.  I've made it my job to convince her of the joy of overnight trains.  Be sure to pack only what you can carry on your back, Valarie.  That is the key to travel happiness.
