- My lifestyle here (in Colorado) - drag into work at 8 am, sit
- at a desk/go to meetings/write/sit behind a computer all day. Yes,
- run in the morning, ski on the weekends. But let me suggest (rather
- strongly) that not all of us Coloradoans get to enjoy the great
- outdoors all day every day. I have a feeling part of this fond
- reminscing of "the Colorado lifestyle" has more to do with this
- person's life situation than location..... don't really mean to
- flame but the original post seems a bit misleading.
