I got together yesterday afternoon with Wally - my friend and former University of Denver Bookstore co-worker - for burgers and beers at Spanky's Urban Roadhouse. This place is just to the west of the DU campus, and fittingly, we were there the day before classes started for the fall quarter. Of course, that means classes were beginning on a Saturday - definitely unheard of at DU - and so naturally there were very few students around. No self-respecting DU student would ever go to class on a Saturday. I'm not even sure they will be there on Monday, either. In any case, Wally (seen in the photograph above) is doing well and this month is planning to visit a friend who owns a ranch near Red Lodge, Wyoming, which is located close to Yellowstone National Park. While there, they plan to drive to nearby Cooke City, where Ernest Hemingway spent five summers during the 1930s, hunting and fishing and hanging out with the locals. Wally tells me that several bars that Hemingway frequented up there are still around, and they plan to visit them all. Sounds like a plan to me. Have a great time, Wally!
