Anyhoo, for my first posting, I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to introduce myself. My name is Mike Graf and I just recently moved to Greenwood Village, CO. GV (as I like to call it), is a suburb of Denver, located about 20 miles or so North of downtown. For the past 5 years I had been living it up on the beaches of California, but not too long ago, I decided it was time for a change and, luckily, got hooked up with a great company here in beautiful Colorado.
I definitely miss my friends and family in California, but I'm finding Colorado to be nicely suited to my needs! I love being outdoors, whether it's hiking, mountain biking, camping, wandering aimlessly, hitchhiking, loitering...OK, I think you get the point! And so far the weather here has been amazing! I'm not necessarily looking forward to winter (I'm originally from Michigan, so I SHOULD be OK), but I am looking forward to frolicking (Yeah, I said it) in the snow and picking up skiing again.
Since I moved out here I've rediscovered ice hockey, which has been a lot of fun, and I'm finding that I've got quite a few friends from past lives living in the area. I suppose that's one of the perks of being ex-Air Force!
I should also mention that I'm a huge sports freak! I'm completely loyal to all the Michigan professional sports teams, though rooting for the Lions is more painful than you could possibly know. And I'm a Michigan State Spartan through and through, and I'm so thankful (read: relieved) that we beat the University of Michigan in football this year! Onward to the Rose Bowl! A guy can hope, right??!!
