51. Dirty laundry.

Due to financial concerns, I had to limit my swag purchases. I have a hat (worn once) and a t-shirt that needs to be washed. Both purchased at the rail station at the bottom of Pikes Peak.

I have the Colorado Rockies (the baseball team, not the mountains) A-Z guide. It was in my back pocket, but you're welcome to it. Lots of pretty pictures. :)

Los Angeles, but as with nearly everything in life, it comes down to money. Luckily, I think I'd be happy either place.

34. Exactly. I could be happy in Denver.

At least I have one friend there, and there are many DUers there, too. That makes a transition easier. :)

But LA is...LA. :)

Last time I was there, there was a Lowry Air Force Base. My friends live where that used to be. They're turning the hangars into condos. :)

It's a nice city. I love mountains, since we don't have them down here.

38. Off topic, but you're a big Cards fan, so...

Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 09:24 AM by Richardo

...if you haven't already, get a copy of "Three Nights in August" by Buzz Bissinger.

It takes place during a three-game series between the Cards and the Cubs in August 2003, when the race for the NL Central was deadlocked between the Cubs, Cards and Astros.

He really takes you inside the head of La Russa and how he runs a game, series and season. Amazing stuff. I started it Friday and am about half way through. You'll love it. :thumbsup:

40. Oh yeah! I need to get that.

I remember La Russa being interviewed in George Will's book, "Men at Work". That was interesting. Thanks for the recommendation.

43. Thank you, Peggy.

I felt rather bad traveling this weekend and enjoying myself as so many people were facing death and destruction. However, the trip was planned, so off I went. It was a needed break from real life.

I'll get those pics posted soon. :hi:
