I'm down in Colorado Springs with my dad tonight. Through an unexpected turn, I am running my first half marathon tomorrow down here. It's the innagural Half on the Fourth race. My pop wanted to come down to see the race and rather than leave Denver at 4:30am, we are spending a rare night on the road together. With the unusual exception of my brothers wedding, I have not been out of town with my dad in my entire adult life. While I yammered on for a while at the onset, I was glad to shut up finally and take in some great stories, some of which I had not heard. Those are the gems! Hearing him say he went to Vail it's first year open and was outraged by the high lift ticket price of $7.50 was a treat!
