Time for some Blarney on the Block! One of my favorite days in downtown. ALLO had a booth that was successful and well-attended. So many friends wandering around. Had a few car bombs. Watched the parade. And the best part? Home safely by 730! Was also grateful for the longest walk Bella and I have had in 2026. Leg feels a little better everyday. Onward.
After what seemed like a week of never-ending online trainings, the week finally came to a close with a fun event I was able to attend with several fellow Council folks. The annual Fire Department awards was a special evening recognizing the hero’s that make up GFD. Great dinner too! Closed the night with friends at TightKnit listening to the Stubbies and kicking off St. Patricks Day weekend. Jen, Nathanael and Ruthie finally make it to OKC after 10 1/2 hours.
A full schedule for Thursday, with another concert announcement kicking off the morning. Said goodbye to a friend of the programs, as Ivan (Santa) relocates to Oklahoma. Closed the night with the Bring the Power Social, a fundraiser for Project Self-Sufficiency. Had a great table to spend the evening with. Jen kicked off Spring Break by waiting in line at Target for 90 minutes to get a prescription refill before the big vacation to see her folks.
Having a better day today than two years ago today. That turned out to be quite the adventure. This week has seen a pretty quick council meeting (started an hour earlier, thus the lack of crowd), employee appreciation breakfast, a Mob Mixer, and some sticks with the boys. Grateful for (relatively) good health.
Trying to find and hold onto the silver linings after a very tough last couple of weeks, starting with the passage of 1A, a professional setback, and illness running rampant in the house. It was fun and honoring to participate in two speaking engagements: Startup Colorado and reading to students at University High for Read Across America Day. Hung out with the crew at the annual Evans Chamber of Commerce dinner and awards. Still walking the dog every morning around the neighborhood (and am glad spring is arriving!). Was the only Council member to attend the Success Foundation Breakfast. A night on the town with friends. Another Council meeting (and more big decisions) are always on the horizon.
