So I talked to a SW pilot this morning

Big Blue '56 : 1/31/2023 12:03 pm
from Denver (I was there for the Denver Vertical mile building stairs run-up followed by the brutal Manitou incline climb the following day in Colorado Springs) and he saw my Giants jacket, Frank Gifford shirt and NYG suitcase. The first thing he said was, I can’t believe the Empire State building lit up in green. He read the ESB rationale in the papers but was not happy, not buying it.

He mentioned Piscarcik and I said, “yeah, but given what came from it, that was a “good” thing.”
Don't know if you discussed this...

I can't even think of one way, let alone "so many ways!"

That was the ultimate slap in the face

To all NY sports fans. The Empire State Building is a New York landmark. Whoever thought this stupid idea up should be fired and forced to move from the state. There has to be a cardboard box in Philly land with their name on it. This way he can coexist with all the other shit lickers down there.
I am appalled.

Yes, the Denver Vertical is 56 floors up, you take the elevator down and do the 56 floor climb 7 more times for a climbing total of 448 floors..You have to do it in 2 1/2 hours or less..

The Manitou was the next day

you were no spring chicken when I met you 20some years ago.

But, what I read in your post was something about you, a pilot, and a mile high club.

Damn, that is impressive. How in the heck do you train in and around Sedona? I guess it is pretty hilly in parts a bit outside town.

That's nothing, I once cooked up and ate one of those hamburger patties you find in the frozen section of the grocery store, and my shit turned green.
