I had dinner last night with my friend Mark at Pepper Asian Bistro, located just a block or so from the bookstore where I work on East Colfax Avenue. Mark participated in the March for Our Lives here in Denver this past Saturday, joining a number of his fellow Columbine High School alumni at that event. Being the cynic that I am, I doubt it will have much impact in countering the NRA's stand on assault weapons, but I have been wrong before. Really! In any case, Mark is excited about his upcoming trip to Leeds, England next week. He will be visiting friends there and taking in a few soccer games, too. Surprise! Mark tells me that Leeds was named one of the top destinations in the world to visit in 2017 by Lonely Planet Magazine. I wonder how much Leeds had to pay them to say that? Just kidding. Kind of. And by the way, the food at Pepper is wonderful, and I recommend it highly. Have a great time in the U.K. Mark!
