Earthwatch Institute!

They're our second DoGood Grant winner. And boy, what a terrific organization. Check them out on the web or see the stuff they've already added to the DoGood Channel. Great organization doing amazing stuff.

On the left is Edward Wilson (President & CEO), Kathy Santos (Internet Communcations Manager), and your truly.

And if you’re ever in Denver.

Can I recommend the following?

Have a hamburger at Cherry Cricket – yum! Great burger. Great fries. Great onion rings. Go. You'll enjoy it. You can find the Cricket here.

And then before or after, go to Tattered Cover Book Store. I love books and I love book stores. And this is a terrific, terrific book store. You can find it here.

Denver Day 2.

From the hotel I'm off to meet with YMCA of Metropolitan Denver, then Food Bank of the Rockies, and then Alliance for Sustainable Colorado. After that I head to the airport and fly back to Boston.

I'm showing off to the eTour folks.

Yes, they can do this too.

Hi Sandi.

Denver!

Also known as poor planning in getting to Denver.

What was I thinking – I flew to Denver from Boston last night. Left Boston at 9:35PM and got to Denver at 11:45PM. Had a half an hour plus drive to the hotel. Sleep. Then had a 45 minute drive from the hotel to my first meeting (an eTour) that started at 8AM.

So here's what I did from late last night to this morning to (hopefully) the end of the day:

  • A) Landed at the airport (Tuesday night).
  • B) Went to the hotel (Tuesday night).
  • C) Went to the Adoption Exchange for the eTour (Wednesday morning).
  • D) Then a meeting at Metro Volunteers.
  • E) Then a meeting at The Colorado Nonprofit Association.
  • F) Then a meeting at The Denver Foundation.

And back to the hotel for a well-deserved dinner.

On the Acela back to Boston.

Yes, I wish it was faster.

Doesn't matter.

Sill the best way to travel between Boston and New York City. Wonderfully relaxing. And when was the last time that was said about travel.
