|  Moving To Denver
So after leaving Harvard in May, I spent the summer working with racehorses. I worked for Michael Matz (Barbaro's trainer) during the Saratoga meet, and I just moved to Maryland to continue working for him. However as much fun as racing is the pay and QOL sucks - work starts at 4:30am, 7 days a week, you get no health insurance, vacation, or 401K and the pay stinks (CFI's are rich compared to us). So my girlfriend and I decided we wanted to move and settle down, get real jobs, etc. We were discussing locations, and we decided Denver. I have lived there before and really excited about going back, but it is quite a big move for her, a Boston native, who does not like long car trips! A really exciting move for us! |

a town I love near there is Boulder-- great college town, real affordable (still is, I think) and sits right up near Estes Park. Good luck and have a safe trip! JM

I'm sure she'll enjoy Denver, it really is a pretty laid back place, and some nice things to do/see to boot(it sounds like you know that already.) Just tell her it's worth it to get away from the Boston drivers I hear the M&G action, we were discussing it in a couple other threads, and with this much momentum... planning? I was thinking Wynkoop downtown for great food / pool / beverages? -Mark |
