Trust me, it's tempting. At this moment, Denver is in the lead. It
looks like we may be out there for about a month this summer, so we'll
need to find two things:
1. A place to live that we both like AND can afford.
2. An opportunity for her that will keep her busy, happy and mostly
out of trouble.
The opportunities for me are mostly right around the DTC, so that
means we'll land on the south or east side. Anywhere from Ken Carl to
the south-west to Parker to the south-east and Aurora to the north.
Somewhere along the 470 corridor. Any jobs for me downtown would be a
commuter train ride in from the nearest train station. I'm not too
excited about the Aurora area, so we'd probably stay within a couple
miles of 470. We'd probably stay more west, and down in the valley, to
get the lower altitude and higher humidity and fewer tornadoes. And if
we're down there, it's literally a matter of five minutes and you're
in the mountains.
Mountains... Glorious Mountains!
Alternatively, if the opportunities for her are on the north side,
we'll consider that too, but it's much more hit-and-miss up there. Yet
it is closer to Estes Park... And much farther from the DTC.
DTC = Denver Tech Center
