Water

 Water, water everywhere (and all the shit in Greeley, and no, not City Council). I had the privilege of accompanying Mayor Pro Tem McDonald on a tour of the City of Greeley’s water resources last week. We visited several sites in and around Greeley, including our waste treatment plant, a construction site where the water department is replacing aging infrastructure, the site of the construction ear Cascadia, and finally in Belview treatment plant in the heart of Loveland. We also stopped by Poudre Ponds, which will be refilled this spring. It was pretty incredible to see the in inner workings of Water and Sewer department. We are lucky to have the water resources we do here, especially when many other surrounding communities are and will be struggling this summer. 

NYC- Monday

 Another looooonnnngggggg travel day across the country. Hope you got some sleep on the flight, Sara(Beth). Nice haul of treasures, and mementos to remember your first, and hopefully not the last, trip you will take to NYC. Not real sure about the Yankees hat, when you were raised on the Rockies, but whatever. Proud of you for living your best life and never saying no to adventure. 

NYC- Sunday

 Getting tired! After the amazing dinner at The Modern, it was time for another full day in The City. Sis said she should have wore better shoes, but wanted to pack light. Lots of walking, lots of art, a real NYC hot dog from a food truck and finally closing the weekend with a show on Broadway. 

NYC- Saturday

 Strand! MoMa! Fancy dinner!! It was quite the day Sara(Beth) had lined up for her first full day in the Big Apple. Found a matching coffee mug from the one I got on the Mancation in 2016. Then it was a jaunt across town to MoMa. Closed out the day with a Michelin Star restaurant when she made friends with the Chef, the Sus Chef, and most of the kitchen staff. They even bought her a drink while she was enjoying a 10 course meal. Go, sis, go!

Blog Takeover NYC Edition

 For the first time in the blog’s existence, we have a blog takeover! The next several posts will be courteous of SBX, who traveled solo over the weekend to New York City. She had a packed and stacked schedule, starting with a red eye from PDX to SF to LAG. Starting off with an extra dirty martini to set the stage. Here we go!

 

State

 The third annual State of the City was held on Wednesday night at the UNC Campus Commons. It was fun to attend as a Councilman for the first time, and be recognized from the stage. Nice round of applause too. Great to see so many of my friends, supports and associates. City staff did a great job with the booths that were set up, answering people’s questions and handing out swag. Proud to represent Greeley!
