Don't blame you for that.  Man!  I went to Colorado once in college.  But I 
was sick and didn't get to enjoy it.  I sang a solo with strep throat and 
had to have pictures taken when they went to Pike's Peak cause I had to stay 
in the bus.  It was June, and down where I was it was nice and warm, but on 
the Peak they were drinking hot chocolate.  I did get pictures for people to 
see. I loved it there.  It was 90 degrees one of the days, but because of 
the no humity it felt like 70.  I always used to want to live there, but I 
think I like Florida and no snow.  I dont' like the hurricanes, but they 
usually don't bother me too much.  Take care.
