Denver!!!



Well, it was day number 3 out in Denver on Thursday. I was sitting at my new humble abode chillin with the MAN, Chris Miller. Thanks to him, I am out here with all the essentials because I couldn't fit everything into my dinky little car. He volunteered his Ford Escape to fill up with my Snowboard, Lacrosse gear, Golf Clubs, and a few other things of necessity. So we got in on Tuesday at about 5pm, and dropped Chris' stuff off at our friend Katie's place then headed over to Todd's (my brother-in-law) place to move me in.

My room is little more than a closet, but I have my computer in there to keep everyone updated on my status via the interweb. The house is huge: four bedrooms, about 2000 square feet, so that makes up for the dinky little room. I'm going to be getting an Epic Mountain Pass which means unlimited Boarding in the Colorado Rockies for the whole season! I am no more than 1 hour 45 minutes from Vail, and every other mountain on I-70 is closer than that.

I will have to be going to "Ryan's Bar" in Breckenridge since it is named after me, but that won't be for a few weeks/months. I start my job with my cousin on Monday, and will be starting a whole new life.

My place is literally 1 mile from Downtown Denver. I can get used to the proximity to downtown, which is awesome! I'm really not looking to buy anything right away, but I do like the vibe of this neighborhood. I don't know if I'll want to move into any suburbs, but I got a lot of time to get to know different areas of Denver before I have to worry about that. So far it hasn't been too cold. Just 45 degrees, but sunny. I'm not sure how I will take to this city once it starts snowing, but I will be ready to hit up the mountains once they have decent coverage! I am already loving the fact that there is a little plaza with a Little Caesars, Safeway, Subway, and a few other little shops about 4 blocks away. There is also a bar about 8 blocks away (walking distance), and we are about to go hit it up for Happy Hour. I will be transferring over with my TV Union and checking to see about getting some TV work in on the weekends as well.

I don't know what else there is, but I'm definitely turning the page.

Hey Ryan
Talked to your mom this weekend and she said your doing great. I read all about your new job, sounds really cool. Michael and I have been in our thoughts. We really miss you, at seminars, road trips and partys. I have a couple of good pic of you and the sumo.
Give us your address so we can send a card.
