Letter to Albuquerque

Dear Albuquerque,

You and I kind of got off to a bad start. With that whole delayed flight from Denver, which was totally Denver's fault-with the bad weather and all. But Denver and I have a long and complicated history and no matter what happens, I will always hold a special place in my heart for CO.

Anyway, getting there late and coming within mere seconds of being stranded at the rental car counter didn't really do much to endear me to you. Neither did the whole fiasco with the hotel, although that did turn out well when I got my palatial corner room (albeit with no bed, just a pull out sofa. Or more correctly 3 pull out sofas. And a fantastic shower!). Oh, and that "joke" with the missing package? Not funny.

The college fair was pretty good, except just so you know, charging the admissions reps for snacks and beverages? TACKY! It was nice to be done at 3:oo though and have the afternoon to myself. Chapman and I did have quite a nice walk to Old Town. I never would have thought to put the PRISON right near the convention center, but good for you! It's a nice touch.

The awesome old guy at the ice cream shoppe was a nice surprise as well. Of course, he is originally from Colorado, so you only get partial credit. But that malt was pretty damn good.

One more thing, that whole rule about no alcohol within so many feet from a church? Not so much. And I'm from Massachusetts where you can't do anything fun. Ever.

So, Albuquerque, I don't have a whole lot to say about you, but I do appreciate the FREE WIRELESS at the airport. That part is awesome!
