1200 Miles West

No, I’m not talking about the Kentucky Derby even though it did take place yesterday.  But what fun is it to watch a bunch of horses run around a track with tiny men on their backs?

What I’m talking about is roller derby! The Rocky Mountain Roller Girls were back in action last night and unlike the first game we attended, they CRUSHED their opponents by more than 100 points.

If you remember my post from our last trip to the Derby, Mike wasn’t especially happy as he had to stand the entire bout. This time we were fortunate to have chairs to sit on. Thanks go out to Sara for reminding us of the event, even if we did show up before her and save her a seat!

Also, I should mention that we also attended a Tercero de Mayo party hosted by Cris and Jen. While we were only able to stay for an hour or so, I have to say that I sucked down three of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. Plus, Cris and Jen cooked some excellent tamales and one plate was all vegetarian! Yeah for me. Thanks guys for inviting us over…I promise we’re going to have a party soon.

Indigio walked today. It was for a great cause and we had fun.

The day started out a little chilly, but it warmed up as we set-up the tent and started to pass out bracelets to the other walkers. If you’ve seen the yellow Lance Armstrong bracelets, then you know what I’m talking about, except ours were blue and were inscribed with the following:

Get Inspired! Get Involved! www.indigio.com/cares

They were a hit, plus it never hurts to get your name out there.

Here’s some snapshots from the walk:

Here’s my favorite…

A good time was had by all, plus we raised over $6000 for the Colorado Chapter of the MS Society.

I’m already looking forward to next years walk!

The above is a picture from Tuesday’s hockey game at the Pepsi Center.  For those of you who don’t follow hockey, the Wings took a 3-0 series lead that night and will hopefully finish off the Avs tonight.
