Yesterday, I drove down to Colorado Springs with Wally, my friend and former University of Denver Bookstore co-worker (seen in the photograph above), to attend the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper Fair. This event was canceled last year due to the Covid-19 outbreak, and during the interval, it's long time home, the Denver Merchandise Mart, was permanently closed, resulting in the move to Colorado Springs. Wally is a big Churchill fan, and I myself like mysteries, but the show mainly featured books on Western history and old postcards, and so neither of us made any purchases. We saved our cash for dinner back in Denver at the Campus Lounge, which has gone through a number of owners over the past few years, but has now been renovated and is doing a good business, with roughly 200 television screens in a fairly small space. And all of those televisions were showing the Colorado Rockies with a big lead over the Miami Marlins. The perfect end to a perfect day.
