WOW!

Last night at Mile High was AMAZING! The energy of the place was fantastic and it truly felt like we were part of history being made. We arrived around 3pm to find a mile long line at the South entrance, so we embarked on a circuitous hike around to the East side where there were no lines and we just walked right in. Some people waited on the South side for four hours. Udall (CO Rep. running for Senate), Richardson and Gore were some of my favorite speakers early on. They all had some great zings for McSame. Seeing/hearing Stevie Wonder sing Signed, Sealed and Delivered was super cool as well. I'm sure you all watched Obama give his speech last night so I don't have to tell you how incredible it was. One thing that most folks aren't aware of is that he wrote the speech himself. I think that is so impressive in today's world of speech writing teams and campaign coordinators. All told, my hands and throat are sore from so much clapping and cheering, but I am "Fired Up, Ready To Go!"

After we made it out of there last night we picked up Dane at the airport. He and I are off to the Wind River mountains of Wyoming for the next week for some alpine climbing in the Cirque of the Towers. Awesome granite here I come!

Obama/Biden - 2008!
