happy b-day!

For better or for worse, the Iraq war is six years old today. I may go to the Legion for a brew to celebrate tonight, but truth be told, with all the whining today's vets do, I feel like a pussy when I'm drinking with Vietnam and WWII vets (I'm usually the only post 9-11 veteran at the Manitou Legion). People were just a helluva lot tougher back then.

Amen to that! We use to know how to suffer more. That is why some people search out ways to hurt and feel alive now days.

Hey I have been keeping the Leadville 100 option open for this year. Does the race fill up or can I wait to sign up if I decide to run it?

So don't you think it is better to go show respect and listen to some amazing stories from some stand up men rather than hide out in your apartment?

I don't exactly hide out in my apartment. Even on a slow Thursday I'll do the Incline and then hit Kinfolk's, the Royal Tavern, and the Townhouse. Not the blazing social life of some hashers, but not too shabby.

Good point, my apologies to the Master-Life-Liver. So don't you think it is better to go show respect and listen to some amazing stories from some stand up men rather than hide out in your own activities and bars?

I'll probably just stay home and play Medal of Honor.
