Paul and I survived the week with the parents in Denver, which was really Dillion. We discovered the town of Leadville, known for tourist-drawing reasons as the highest incorporated city in the nation (the elevation was 10,000 feet, I think...oxygen deprivation has blurred my recall...) But, it was a cool place where we were able to fantasize about moving there and being really isolated. Leadville purchases included a pack of anti-smoking playing cards with the grim reaper all over the place; polar-fleece scrap caps made by Leadville alternative-types; (a certain mother figure did not approve of Paul's cap, a disapproval which resulted in Paul wearing the cap 24-7); two Vietnam t-shirts from the thrift store; and pizza with vegetarian bacon.
