Moxie, DRD, and ramblings

Got my hair cut at Moxie the other day, right there on 13th and Sherman next to Watercourse. It's a great haircut but I swear this is the second time they've screwed up the scheduling and I arrived at my appt. time with no one there to cut my hair. The stylist rescheduled and gave me my cut for half off, but jeez, people, quit sniffing the hairspray. With the discount and friendly service and good conversation, all was pretty much forgiven. Anyway, Moxie is having a Halloween party 10/28 at Bender's Tavern

One night before, 10/27, Denver Roller Dolls has a Halloween bout at the Denver Coliseum. Tix are $13 now, or $15 later, so get your tickets sooner rather than later

The next night, 10/28, is the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls' bout

Check out the sail hotel. Where Brangelina stays.

Toys. Inventing toys can be just as much fun as playing with them

Golf. Does this explain why the corporate world is mostly one gender, one color? Maybe Tiger and Michelle Wie will change things. But a friend who works at a private high school for troubled kids was saying how the school tends to recruit fellows with affluent backgrounds who have trouble relating to the students, some of whom have parole officers or parents who don't have time to devote to their education, etc. The school is in the mountains of Colorado, and so it's hard to recruit young staffers who can deal with noncity life. Colorado has always looked at its outdoors lifestyle as a great selling point. But if you think about it, most of the young people who are attracted to the remote mountain lifestyle are into mountain biking and skiing, which require some money or are not really part of the inner-city life. Thoughts?
