I met Mark (in the photograph on the left) and Wally (on the right) for beers at Spanky's Urban Roadhouse last night, where we toasted the start of baseball spring training. Mark works at the University of Denver's Penrose Library (now called the Academic Commons since it was remodeled and had half the books removed), while Wally still works at the DU Bookstore. I work at one of the last independent bookstores in Colorado, and so the three of us represent the last holdouts against the digital revolution. Not quite as exciting as serving in the French Foreign Legion, but we are fighting an important battle none the less. Stay tuned for updates on how the struggle is going.
Still trying to catch up on over 3 years of blog entries...keep getting side tracked with the various bits of history you have generously provided and of course I have to go and Google it to find out more. It's your lucky day, I am older by three years...Happy Belated Birthday by the way. No need to reply, just thought I would get you excited when you discovered there was another comment from one of your millions of followers.
