A Reporter .... on Vacation ... in October?!

Finally, I can leave work during the fairest of the seasons, and not worry about some Green Party candidate's information form has not arrived.

Admittedly, I could have done that last year, but the job was still too new to balance a trip.

Two years after my last general election, it's hard to imagine those times, when I absolutely could not have vacation from late August until the second week in November.

Work will play role, though - this time tomorrow, I'll be deeply embedded in the Colorado Association of Health Plans' annual meeting.

By tomorrow night, I'll be in line to catch the Fleet Foxes at Denver's Oriental Theatre. I missed them in Nashville, Chicago

By Thursday morning, I'll be driving the rental below the snowy peaks of the northern Rockies, returning from breakfast in Cheyenne, Wyoming (and coloring in another state on that map all us bloggers filled out).

I'll check in again off the road, probably somewhere in Fort Collins or Boulder Cafe Dushanbe.
