 Few items of interest from the past week or so. At least Darth Vader hasn’t shown up at one of our meetings yet. IYKYK. 

 

24/Draft/Hawaii

 Looked who turned 24 this week as birthday season begins! Also had one of three fantasy drafts, this one with the Cooks. I even brought along my co-owner. Finally, sadly, some damage in Hawaii from the hurricane that just went through the island. We were at these places in June. The first two pictures where where I walked in the mornings, about a mile from our resort. The second row and from Whalers Village, where we shopped, and the happy hours and the Welch’s got their tattoos. 

29

 During the technical difficulties, Mrs. Roth and I celebrated 29 years of marital bliss. It was a relaxed celebration, spending the day in Greeley doing all the Greeley things. We closed the day with oysters on the half shell and a mostly flat tire. I love you, babe. Cheers to us. 

Onions!

 Technical difficulties this week. Thanks for the patience. It was Ag Tour day at the Greeley Chamber! If you remember last year, I was in the middle of the campaign and tensions were high. This year was much more chill. Toured three different farms, with three completely different business strategies. The final stop was Fagerberg Farms which produces onions.  So. Many. Onions. It was a long, hot day, with temps that reached 98. Also, so many onions. 

BANANAS!!!

 It was the best turnout at Coors Field in at least a week, as close to 100.000 folks showed up for two nights of Banana Ball! And without the Roths, it would have only been 99,996. Looks like it was great fun, fabulous seats, and even a sighting of that Frozen gal singing “Let It Go” one section over. Kristin something or other. Glad you kids could make it. 

“Indifferent”

 Of all the quotes that might have been pulled from the past 8 months, this is the one that makes the papers. Still trying to make progress on things both big and little (Civic Campus, astroturf). Had a fun guest in chambers to promote Monster Days. A country music “star” called us out, so I called her out from the dais and welcomed her to come back to Greeley.
