Closed out the week with dinner and drinks in Windsor with friends. Sadly no Hunter at Twin Staves when we stopped by. Pooped into the Greeley Chamber Business After Hours for a bit before stopping at the GOAT to watch the end of the Nebraska game (they lost. Haha). Pounded out 4.2 miles with Bella…interesting to see the map of our speed. Always need to close with some Council business!
Back to AIMS Community College for the final event on the 2025-26 Speaker Series. My good friend Chalice invited me to sit with her crew to hear from Charles Duhigg, author of several bestsellers including “The Power of Habit.” It was a very inspirational evening, learning how to ask better questions and create stronger habits. We had to turn to the person next to us and ask them “When was the last time you cried in front of another person?” My answer was Oct. 25, 2025. It was fun to see my friend Lisa as the hostess for the evening. No photos were allowed during his talk. Three bonus pictures: some “street art” outside my office, a badge from Apple, and Mrs. Roth getting some love!
Let’s check in on the Greeley Fire Department, shall we? I was invited to attend the “Pushing In” ceremony for the three new fire trucks that were recently delivered after ordering them in 2023. It was a very special and meaningful event, with the water from the old truck being splashed on the new truck, the firemen pushing the truck into the bay, and a blessing on both the truck and the firemen from a local pastor. We even got commemorative towels to help dry the new truck off. I’ve been hanging out with the GFD so much, they might offer me a job.
Let’s check in on how things are at the State Capitol, shall we? What a fun day! I was able to participate in Greeley Day at the Capitol as the At-Large Councilman. Council was joined by the City Managers office, the Greeley Chamber, the DDA and UNC. We were able to sit in on the secession on both the House floor (where my name was read into the record), the floor of the Senate (and got a selfie with hopefully the future governor), wandered around the building, and finished with a nice lunch at the University Club. We got to hear from our State Representatives, the Mayor, and the president of UNC. One of my favorite days as a Councilman so far!
Let’s check in on Greeley, shall we? ALLO sponsored the watch parties for the first 2 days of the NCAA tournament in partnership with 1310KFKA. To kick things off, there was a 40 yard dash between Tanner, the morning host, and Brady, the mid-day sports talk host. Brady won. It was awesome! Mrs. Roth even made an appearance!. Always lots going on in municipal government!
