Today I’m in Colorado Springs, CO. I drove up from the high desert to do some consultant work at Peterson AFB. It’s frickin’ cold up here!!
The drive was pleasant and as the scenery passed me, I enjoyed Beethoven’s 6th Symphony. Now I’m back to my old stomping grounds and am amazed at how much “the Springs” has changed in the last 10 years. I can’t believe how big it is now and OMG…the traffic! I’m looking forward to getting out-and-about. Visiting some of my old haunts, getting together with old friends and drinking some good microbrew.
This evening my colleagues and I had dinner at “Phantom Canyon,” a microbrewery and restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. The ale was as good as I remembers it: dark, redish-brown and full-flavored with just the right amount of “hoppiness.” This was my favorite restaurant when I lived here. A refurbished warehouse that helped revitalize this section of downtown. I remember when it opened it’s doors. My farewell dinner was here.
Now I’m back in my room–a nice two room suite with a full kitchen. I’m going to relax a bit and get into some of the document review for this visit. Tomorrow morning I’ll wrap-up the preliminary review and will spend the rest of the day driving around town.
