Bekka and I had a great trip to Denver. Since Bekka had lived there before, we got to meet up with several people she knew there. It was fun to catch up with everybody. There were a lot of stories to exchange. I really enjoyed the friendship and the things I was able to learn.
I was in Denver to attend the annual Joint Statistical Meetings, which is the gathering of statisticians. I learned some of the current guiding principles for making graphics from data, some of the concerns in polling people's opinions and in improving healthcare while reducing the related costs. Bekka and I had the opportunity to catch up with several of my classmates from Virginia Tech who had also gone to the conference.
We met up with my parents as well, and we went to a Colorado Rockies game. Actually, we went twice because we got rained out the first time we tried to go! The Rockies lost. Oddly enough, it seems like the Nationals win whenever we show up at a game they are playing at. We enjoyed Coors Field. It was a little confusing at first figuring out how to get to the top deck though.
We found an awesome pizzeria near Coors Field. The place is called Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria. It's on Larimer Street between 21st and 22nd, phone 303-296-7000. The pizza came quickly and was very tasty. The atmosphere is very pleasant; it is very nicely decorated but still a casual place. And, perhaps most amazing, Bekka decided that their cannolis are the best she has ever had — even better than what she found in Boston's North End.
