During these past two years the two have also shared a couple of extended road trips, visiting points of interest while passing through 47 of the 48 continental United States together.
While homeward bound last week, Nevada Bob checked in to a hospital in Denver. His heart had an irregular heartbeat and the early diagnosis was congestive heart failure. It seemed he would be back on the road after a weekend of observation, but is still there "on hold" till his oxygen levels stabilize.
Here are a few Colorado snapshots, courtesy Gary Firstenberg.
What I remember from numerous business trips to Denver is that there is a lot of wonderful public art, especially sculptures. From first to last, my visits to Colorado were all good.
Here's Nevada Bob getting ready to order Beef Wellington,
au gratin potatoes, lima beans and Baked Alaska.
Leave a comment for Bob and I will pass it along for you. Or
contact me some other way. He's looking forward to getting home
but would enjoy hearing from you.

ReplyDeleteIt was relieving to hear your cheerful voice in good spirits last evening via telephone and am blessed to have met you on your travels with Gary. I'm certainly enjoying each nostalgic song on your new CD, and it makes me smile to think of you singing some of them to your lifelong sweetheart, your dear beloved wife and the mother of your children (minus the "One Beer Away" tune, perhaps). Your wife required no "beer goggles." I was lucky enough to get an in-person sampling of that one, however! You have a lot to be proud of with your book and CD releases. Congratulations! Godspeed and Get well! --Melissa
