Telluride (aka The Mitch Morgan)


<--- A view from the house


So last weekend I was "working" in Telluride Colorado staying at a 12,000 square foot house (think twice the size and Mom and Dad's). Needless to say it was a horrible experience. We snowboarded, ate, drank, sang songs, told stories and celebrated a good friend and clients 30th birthday.


You might think that this sounds like fun but it really was just awful. Almost every waking minute was spent thinking of reasons to call my sweet wife and see how she was doing. In fact I missed her so much I called her at 1am just to see how she was sleeping (she really appreciated that).

Living Room of House


I am glad to be back now in the comfort of my own home (1/10 the size). It was such a pain trying to remember to cover the hot tub, turn off the sauna, figure out how to use the movie theatre, take off my snowboard before going back inside the house, pick a song out of 200,000 selections, trying to remember how to get to the kitchen, having to call your driver when you wanted to go somewhere, etc, etc, etc.




Oh yeah and this is a picture of a drink I had at a fine dining establishment in TRide. It is called the Mitch Morgan. It consists of a bacon fat dipped, water filled shot glass with a side of bacon. I had everything ready to bring over for Mom's Birthday yesterday but realized at the last second that I didn't have any bacon! oh well.















<--- Colorado isn't known for its clean water as you can see by this picture.

  2. Yep Mom. It reminded me of my days sitting in front of Vintage waiting for the Shaggin Wagon to arrive. I'm just glad that the door never fell off when I was getting picked up from school (Ashley)

  3. What a relief to be home and back to your "Honey Do" list! Such arduous work you've been doing. If we don't make it up there on Sunday - GOOD LUCK AT THE MARATHON! We'll be sending good thoughts every 3 hours and 10 minutes (or in shorter intervals).
