My sister Susan and I have arrived back in Denver, where it is cool and rainy, as opposed to hot and sunny back in Stuart, Florida. And we did this why? But on the bright side, this weekend is Cinco de Mayo in Denver's Civic Center Park, produced by NEWSED Community Development Corporation, the geniuses who sold the city's long-running People's Fair to a for-profit company to obtain money to buy a mansion on Cheesman Park for their headquarters. That company held the festival at Civic Center Park for, I think, just one year before canceling it forever due to not making enough money. This used to be the festival that marked the start of summer here in Denver. And thanks to the City of Denver, the Taste of Colorado, which took place over Labor Day weekend and was an end of summer celebration, disappeared after the city turned it into 4 mini-festivals throughout the summer, which was a total flop. But enough complaining. While we were away in Florida, the University of Denver Pioneers won the 2026 NCAA Division I Men's Hockey National Championship, the program's 11th national title. I know all about it because I got a text message on my phone from the Denver Police telling me to avoid the corner of Evans Avenue and University Boulevard due to a "traffic incident" right after win. No doubt the "traffic incident" was the student body rushing into the intersection to celebrate the victory. I got an all-clear after 2 hours, which was good to know, even if I was 2,000 miles away. Hopefully the entire student body wasn't arrested. DU desperately needs their tuition dollars.
