Sick in Denver

I'm in Denver staying with friends now since last Wednesday. I hope I'm not getting sick, but I think I am.

Something about the altitude, but my appetite just totally disappeared when I arrived here. Combine that with exercising hard for four days outside, staying up late and sleeping on the couch, and you have a recipe for illness. We'll see.

Denver is a great town. Pro's: near mountains, athletic people all around, sunny, good business climate, relatively cheap housing. Con's: Cold, dry air. The air is a big negative as I went riding yesterday and I spent the first 10 miles itching every part of my body b/c of dry skin. I used to get the same feeling in college during the winter swim season as chlorine does the same to your skin. Fortunately, this time I know about moisturizing skin lotion.

Tomorrow, I drive out south. Will likely go through Dallas and Austin. Back to Texas for Thanksgiving!
