Early morning when you get a text at 4:45am telling you that your flight is on time even before the alarm is set to go off at 5.

Out of the house at 5:30am

Car is parked and am through security and in the Board Room by 10 to six — time to toast a bagel before they start serving booze at 6am.

A couple of drinks and a quiche on the plane and I am on the curb at the Denver airport at 11:30 and by noon I’m driving out of Dan’s Dad’s Driveway headed for Taos….

Well, until I ran into Joe Biden’s limo that shut down I-25 so he could give the commencement address to the Air Force Academy — with a tip from another driver and George’s GPS I hit State Route 83 to get around the fact that the freeway was literally a parking lot — time hit: 30 minutes. And another 30 minutes for a Subway sandwich, Diet Coke, sunglasses, and scotch.

Taos at 6pm — in the room. Scotch and ice in hand.

Dinner at 7:30, movie (School for Scoundrels) by 10:00, bed, who knows when.
