On the Road - Denver

So this past week, I was on the road in Denver. The folks I was working with in Denver are the best, nicest I've ever had the opportunity to spend a week with. The Supervisors even had a large fish tank in their office ... a group project. I couldn't resist contributing a little "no fishing" ornament.

Adding to my collection of airport photos. Here are some of Denver. When you first get off of the train from your terminal to baggage claim, there are these neat paper airplane shaped pointers that lead you from the train to the escalator up to the main terminal.

The main terminal looks like a tent. I tried to get a picture from the outside, but it was not good. This one is what it looks like inside. Very airy and open. A nice change from an airplane.

There is a really weird thing about the Denver airport in the train tunnel. The train has these cutesy sounds like a train whistle and clanging, which is ok. But there is some "art" and I use that term loosely inside the tunnels. Some of it was ok, but as you near the station, there are these arms with pick axes jutting out into the tunnel. Each is at a slightly different angle so the effect is that as the train whizzes past, it looks like they are moving to strike down. It was very creepy.

My schedule has been quite hectic the last few weeks. Between work and family trips, out of the last 21 days, I've spent a grand total of 4 nights in my own bed. Brutal. In that same time, I've been on 12 different planes and in 5 different towns. Add that all up and what do I get??? A big whooping summer cold is what! I started coming down with it mid week in Denver and by the time I left, I could hardly talk. I was severely medicated on the planes home. Looks like my big plans for the 3 day Labor Day weekend are hosed. I'm spending them in bed!
