Cheer: Thanks, that is from the end of last summer, we were in a 10K race that was pretty fun, going through all of the sports venues here. Mile High stadium, Pepsi center, and Coors field.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the Darwin awards winner that rearranged the tiger babies so the photograph would be more symetrical to her taste. A tasty lunch was had by all
