Unhappy over losing my job, my car, my apartment, & thus my attendant 'cashola', I moved to Denver & I liked it, at first. Now, 5 years later, "not so much". But my enthusiasm is beginning to pick up once again, due to (what else?) several good people, recently alighting in & near me. So I think I'll choose to make it, "despite myself" as is said.
