Sweet Cold Colorado

Flew down to Langley for briefings and tours, hooking up wth a Truck I've known since I was a 2Lt, before a Chef's Salad- and "Get Smart"-filled flight to Colorado Springs where most everyone else slept.
The two accompanying spouses (of the principal and the American general) split off to visit the Garden of the Gods while we dudes drove out to Schriever AFB for a mission brief and tour of the GPS Ops Floor. Despite learning that the Singapore Mrs had been hurling up in her van and not at all enjoying the view or the altitude, everyone was still rarin' to go to dinner with Space Command leadership at The Briarhurst Manor. Lovely evening enjoyed by all (even though our friends were hoping to hear from the place's reported ghosts).
I, for one, was simply enjoying the crisp 20-degree weather.
I for only one, in fact.
