ROCKPILE AND JUDY’S SON

Turns out another thing they give you for free at the Cowboy Lounge is a raging hangover and nausea. We had a nice sleep in on Friday and took our time getting ready before exploring downtown Denver and meeting Middlebury friend Burke (Judy's son)for lunch. Cragin said a quick hello before heading to the restaurant restroom and shaking hands with Jack Daniels again. She returned to the table feeling like a new woman.

After some of Denver’s notorious buffalo burgers, we wandered around the Lodo area and the 16th street mall before heading back to get ready for the Rockies Game. After meeting up with some more Middlebury friends (Meghan and Emily) as well as our incredibly fun host Kirstin, we entered the stadium and headed towards our seats in the Rockpile. As usual, we weren’t there to actually watch the game, but rather to drink beer and eat hot dogs which Jihan demonstrated when she asked during the 5th inning if we were at a major or minor league game. Cragin also spent a few minutes explaining to her what a short stop was. After a few beers (and apparently 9 innings), the Rockies were victorious and we were buzzed.

We popped over to the Wynkoop Brewery for a few beers and to give Kirstin adequate time to recruit Melissa’s boyfriend Kyle as a new male friend for her boyfriend Sean. Her hard sell was that they both enjoy football (which Sean is allowed to watch in the basement of their house). Hopefully they’ll have some male bonding in the future. Kyle was also introduced to the power of late night Kent Place girls conversations when Melissa started to mention new ideas for their future OT and PT rotations. “Is this the brainwashing I missed when I went to bed early the other night?” Kyle asked. Yes sir, never underestimate the power of girls getting philosophical at 3 a.m. after a few bottles of wine and 5 beers. Sorry Kyle.
