Rocky Mountain High Fructose Corn Syrup

Our bags were packed and it was time for some fun. We made the most of our last day in Colorado by consuming (and obtaining) as much chocolate as possible.

Here are a few parting shots:

Warp speed

The first malaria pill has been taken. The packing has begun. I'm moving at warp speed in order to get things done. We are leaving Denver in exactly forty eight hours.

We had a great team dinner last week and gorged ourselves on Indian food. Both our tastebuds and our hearts are ready to depart!

I anticipate the moment I board the plane, buckle my seatbelt, and can breathe again. There are some unknowns ahead, but this much I know: The next week and a half is guaranteed to be an adventure.

And I love a good adventure.

Preparations

Each new month seems to sneak up on me. I'm doing my best not to let this next one catch me by surprise, but by all accounts, have not been very successful. November 1 is India departure day, and it keeps getting closer.

I was either born with, or subsequently developed, the ability to keep rather accurate mental lists. At any moment in time, I have a running mental list for each area of my life that needs listing. Currently, India is at the top of the list of the areas that need listing. (Yes, I have a list for that too.)

It's not that I don't want November 1st to arrive. It's just that I'd like to have all of my check marks in a row before 11/1 appears. Which reminds me of a few more things to add to my list...
