Denver:Day 1

I traveled to Denver tonight for a business trip.
Tonight starts a 4 day tradeshow binge that consists of standing on my feet 9hrs a day talking to the same people I speak to everyday on the phone. The day is then followed up by a 2-3hr dinner that consists of more business talk. The only good thing about the later is the fact that there is wine involved.
Don't you hear the excitement in my voice?
Hell starts tomorrow.
However, today I have been able to take it easy.
I have been alone most of the day...it's been nice. No, I take that back...it's been lonely.
The most exciting event that has happened so far this evening was at the hotel bar where I ate dinner.
A texan sits down next to me who loves to talk.
He orders the loaded nachos, and then brags about how Texan nachos are the best in the world.
blah. blah. blah...is really all I hear from that point on.
Until a very British elderly woman walks up to him and says (in a very British voice),
"What the Hell are you eating my dear boy?!"
Texan: "Why, these hear are nachos."
British woman: "Well, I must say it looks like you're eating a pile of shit to me!"

For the first time today...I smiled.

that's hilarious. i was at a mexican eatery with a bunch of Texans earlier this summer...they too were all so insistent that Texas nachos and burritos are the best. I just nodded...and enjoyed my burrito in blissful ignorance! ;)
