I did not do well at all on this one. With Tobey reading more now, I had a few successes – like finishing a book while [...]
For the final Father-Daughter Bowl in Ashley’s time at CU Boulder, it was time to see a game in person. Of course, I had to choose the one year it was hosted at Folsom Field in Boulder, rather than the more neutral confines of Invesco Field in Denver. Carrie and I thought we might be [...]
