On Thursday we tried (and failed) to play golf, but successfully met up with my other good friend Austin for the Rockies/Pirates game. I had some cotton candy.

Before and after the game, Steve and I went to what is beyond any doubt the greatest bar I've ever seen. The Cruise Room, in the Oxford Hotel, last redecorated in 1933. Trying to describe the atmosphere of the Cruise Room would be like trying to show you a picture of the redwoods from a few days ago - why bother?
