The Omni Hotel

Joan was given a free room in the Omni Hotel; we stayed there last night. It was quiet.

Vail Pass

We stopped for a rest on Vail Pass and found this great little lake.

Grizzly Creek

Joan and I spent the morning in Glenwood Canyon. Here she is on Grizzly Creek.

Country

Joan and I drove around the country after she got in to Glenwood.

Joan's Arrival

After the youth reenactment was over, I sent for Joan on the Amtrak. She arrived in Glenwood Springs after a great trip through the mountains and along the Colorado River.

Youth Re-enactment

Many middle aged men participate in Civil War Re-enactments. The participants, who for the most part have never seen combat, reenact battles and skirmishes and upon completion feel more empowered.

I have just finished a week of Youth Re-enactments; middle aged men dress up as medieval Japanese courtesans and spend a week listening to geriatric instructors filling their minds with illusions of power. It is a sad spectacle.

Denver

In the back of 1448 Larimer St, Denver there is a pleasant place. I am wandering around town taking pictures of urban refuges. This was taken with my phone.
