Tickets, boots and towing...oh my!

Well the overzealous group of Meter Maids in Denver (you think Manhattan's Parking Nazis were bad? Think again) had just met their match with Channel 4 News Investigators. Turns out, the people of Denver have been paying tickets for the last two years written by "Special Police Officers" who weren't that special. Two Denver parking ticket writers were just discovered to not be authorized at all to write tickets...and they'd written over $1 million in tickets.

The city might be paying back all that money to the citizens, many of whom might have contested the tickets and only received a form letter in response. Great work Channel 4 news!

Other notes from my world include a fun weekend with Bryce and Graham. Bryce and I drove to Mountain Sun to have dinner with Graham last Friday night. Long wait, but always a good place! Then Bryce and I went to an amazing quasi-Valentine's day Brunch at the Brown Palace on Sunday. It was wonderful.

Can you believe next week is March? I'm very happy to report that so far, I've kept my New Year's resolution of writing down something every day. Three months down...a lot more to go!

Happy Hump Day!

Brrrr are you staying warm?

I hope all my Kansas friends are staying warm during these chilly weeks and massive snow storms! We've definitely had our share of snow this month but every time I look at the radar I think Kansas is getting more!

Not a lot of updates but here are a few fun notes...

1. In two weeks I get a visitor! Rach is coming!
2. I've enjoyed connecting with two Pi Phis who live in Denver after we touched base via the Pi Phi Christmas card this year. We've had fun watching the Bachelor!
3. Bryce and I are going to Napa and Sonoma for a few days this April! It's something we've wanted to do for a year and finally booked our flight.
4. Henry is loving the snow and has goofy (but kinda cool) booties to wear outside so the ice melt doesn't hurt his feet.
5. Work is going really well and is incredibly busy. I sure haven't been golfing much lately and I'm looking forward to things slowing down for our creative and graphic design team so everyone is under less stress.
6. Valentine's day is right around the corner! I think Bryce is cooking...and I also know he's reading this so I'll just say I'm really really excited for him to cook dinner.

Stay warm, drink some hot chocolate and be safe!

Graham is here to visit for the summer and he and Henry are um...coming to terms with each other.
