On Wednesday night we had a project team event : going to an ice hockey game here in downtown Denver’s Pepsi Center. (Yes, we DO work here in Denver as well!). We had great seats ($103 said my ticket, a good thing I did not have to pay). It was not a sold-out event, but there was a pretty good turn-out, given that it was a week night, and that it was pretty cold outside.
