Boxers 'n' Briefs: Showing Their True Color(ado)s.

Greetings from Scenic Denver!

Ok, actually, I am no longer IN scenic Denver, but a was just a few short hours ago. Although, those "short" hours turned out to be rather "long" (more on that later).

I was in Denver for a business trip, and figured it would be a good chance to meet up with some Mile High 'boxers. After a flurry of emails, preboxed chose for our meeting a place called "My Brother's Bar." So I drove to the address she gave me, and there is no sign out front. Nothing. Just a door, and a few people milling about. I go in, and the place is packed. And loud. And dimly lit. And perfect. It turns out that this bar was once a hangout for Jack Kerouac, and the place was just dripping with "personality". I glanced around, not sure who I was looking for, and a rather surly looking waiter approached me, and asked if I would like to be seated. I said I was looking for someone, and he said "Oh, are you Mark?" and proceeded to pretend to do armpit farts. He went on to explain, while I was guffawing, that he had no idea why he was doing this, but that the people at the back table had told him to.

I went back there, and joined preboxed and murmur, as well as some other local boxers, Natural Woman and Tie-Dye Gal. We did exchanges, solved PTs, passed cooties, ordered some beer and food, and generally had a wonderful time! After a while, preboxed and I went out to do a little evening/night boxing - I couldn't have asked for a better evening! So thank you all for a great evening, and it was a pleasure meeting you all! And there - I TOLD you if you bought me a beer, I would mention you in Boxers 'n' Briefs!

My flight home from Denver was a nightmare. The flight was booked solid, and I got a middle seat. Now, I am not a small guy, but the guys on both seats next to me MADE me look like a small guy. I had to cross my arms across my chest the whole way home, because they had various parts "spilling over" the armrests. And I swear, one of the guys had eaten Mexican food earlier that didn't agree with him.

But I am home now, back to my family, and all is once again right with the world.
