Check out that purple mountain's majesty
Happy birthday, USA. You're looking pretty good for 231. Well, except Georgie and Dickie and that whole Iraq thing.
I'm blogging from Denver, Colorado, a mile high amid the Rocky Mountains. As previously noted, I'm here for the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Convention — my chorus, Voices in Harmony, is competing in the chorus contest on Friday afternoon.
So far, Denver seems like a pleasant enough city. I've never spent any time here before — my family passed through (without stopping) on a cross-country drive sometime in the 1970s, but that's the extent of my previous Mile-High experience. They've certainly rolled out the red carpet for us here — everywhere you go in the downtown area, there are signs welcoming the BHS. It's nice to be welcome. We'll try to leave a few bucks.
I'll let you know how the contest goes on Friday. And before I depart on Sunday, I'll attempt to give you a fuller flavor of the impressions Colorado's capital makes on me during my stay. (Quick summation thus far: I love the Pepsi Center and the 16th Street Mall.)
So if you're a Denverite (Denverian?) and you see me strolling about your fair city, feel welcome to offer any good dining tips. I'm always interested in the local cuisine.

2 insisted on sticking two cents in:
Was reading old parts of your blog, and you had mentioned that you do not know anyone that knows what the "MC" stands for in MC Wyman. I do know. Didn't think it was a secret though. Maybe it is and should not mentioned, but is really simple and it is the abbreviation of his name. His real name. It is not something stupid made up during the MC Hammer days. It is simply the abbreviation of his real name. I think I will leave it at that.
Thanks,

I love the title of this post. That is all.
