I got together with Wally, my friend and former University of Denver Bookstore co-worker, at Spanky's Urban Roadhouse yesterday afternoon for happy hour. Sadly, happy hour prices have gone up there in recent days - no doubt due to the pandemic - but you can still get a good IPA for $4.00, thank God. Wally just got back from a 5,000 mile road trip, going from Denver to Red Lodge, Montana, then to Holland, Michigan for the funeral of his brother - who passed away suddenly - and after that to St. Ignace in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (where his sister lives). He then went back to Red Lodge, and after that home to Denver. And, I might add, Wally has always said he does not like to travel. Go figure. In any case, we still seem to have major differences in our political views, but hopefully all that will simmer down in the next month or so. And, by the way, I took the above photograph of Wally in front of Spanky's as we were leaving. As can clearly be seen, Wally is adhering to local regulations and wearing a mask, all the better to stay alive and find out the election results. After all, why come this far and not know?
