Meet today’s additions to Singles who Mingle

April 25, 2014

Christie, a “50-ish” real estate appraiser and Colorado native, says her idea of a perfect date is dinner with conversation, and a glass of wine followed by a walk in the park.

In her spare time, Christie (below) loves to hike with her dog, casual bike rides on the Cherry Creek trail, cook, play board games and spend time with friends and family.

Our newest male mingler is Richard, a 46-year-old who was born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana.

This Southern gentlemen’s ideal first date includes a very dirty Grey Goose Martini, Fanny Bay oysters on the half-shell, followed by an amazing dinner whereby he will spend hours getting to know the very confident, mildly independent, easy to converse with, clearly attractive, fashion conscious (but not addicted to it), intelligent (but not brazen about it), versatile, potential queen of his heart.
In his spare time, Richard (below) enjoys scuba diving, riding dirt bikes, skiing, fly fishing and just about any outdoor activity. “And sometimes just doing nothing,” he said.
Richard is the principal owner of a company that services restaurant equipment, heating and air conditioning as well as refrigeration equipment.

Today’s laugh line: Eavesdropping

April 25, 2014

Eavesdropping on a woman with a 6-year-old who wanted to try Motto Sparkling Matcha Tea at Whole Foods in Colorado Springs. Not knowing if the “Tea for Life” was kid friendly, the woman asked a store employee if it was something kids would like.

Her response was, “Well, King Soopers kids don’t like it, but Whole Foods kids do.”

Craving a Larkburger? The Colorado burger joint and Frontier Airlines are helping soothe your hunger

April 23, 2014

Larkburger, the popular local burger joint, has been getting lots of tweets from Colorado students attending colleges out of state hoping for a Larkburger being sent to their dorm.

So, Larkburger teamed with Frontier Airlines to bring a Colorado student back for a taste of home. To enter Craving Colorado, which launched Tuesday, entrants must submit a video via Larkburger’s Facebook page (or post to Instagram and Twitter using #CravingColorado) in which they explain what they miss about their home state. The winner will receive a free meal at Larkburger, $300 toward a Frontier Airlines flight and other Colorado goodies.

Larkburger President Adam Baker said, “We have a high level of social media engagement from people — including students who live outside of Colorado. A lot of these tweets are from people lamenting that they miss Larkburger and jokingly asking us to send them a burger or some truffle fries.”

Sounds a lot like those days when college kids would cross state lines to buy cases of Coors beer? Guess Larkburger is keeping up a Colorado tradition.

Susie Wargin leaving 9News for real estate

April 23, 2014

Has 9News installed a revolving door at its entrance?

Kirk Montgomery is leaving; former Rocky Mountain News columnist Sam Adams and ex-Fox31 anchor and former 9News sports anchor Ron Zappolo are joining forces on a regular weekend gig at Channel 9 and David Krause left 9News to return to The Denver Post (return, who does that?). And now longtime weekday morning sports anchor Susie Wargin is leaving to join the real estate business, The Post reported.

Wargin told The Post she’s  had her real-estate license “since June (and) my mom’s been in the business for 38 years (with Re/Max). It’s a good family decision for me now. Mom wants to hand down the business and I’d be an idiot to refuse.”

The Pro Challenge cycling series, which ends Aug. 24, likely may be her last full-time assignment at 9News. She has been the morning sports anchor at 9News since 2004.

Tommy Chong officially becomes Pueblo marijuana shop co-owner

April 23, 2014

Tommy Chong‘s comic career is not “Up in Smoke,” nor is his newfound interest — as marijuana entrepreneur as part-owner of Marisol Therapeutics in Pueblo.

According to the Pueblo Chieftain, Chong became a partner in the Pueblo West business — for an undisclosed amount. His  chief role will be as a face of the business, a huge benefit for Marisol as it enters the marijuana market place in southern Colorado.
Chong made a public appearance at Marisol to celebrate his deal on the eve of “4/20,” the unofficial holiday for marijuana enthusiasts.

Chong and his comedic partner, Cheech Marin, performed their comedy act on April 17 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver before the 4/20 weekend celebration at the Civic Center.

Boulder second happiest city in America, poll claims

April 21, 2014

Apparently Boulder is not only skinny, but it’s happy city, too.

Coming off a recent study that Boulder is the least-obese city in America, the People’s Republic of Boulder is ranked second among America’s happiest cities, according to Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and as reported by Westword.

The Gallup-Healthways report said: “Boulder is famous for its colorful Western history, being a choice destination for hippies in the late 1960s, and as home of the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state’s largest university. Furthermore, the city of Boulder frequently acquires top rankings in health, well-being, quality of life, education, and art.”

Fort Collins was ranked third in the study, which said the home of Colorado State University “is known as one of the towns that inspired the design of Main Street, U.S.A. inside the main entrance of the many ‘Disneyland’-style parks run by The Walt Disney Company around the world.”

The Provo-Orem, Utah earned the moniker as the happiest city in America in the poll?

Really?
