So where have I been for nearly a month?

I was in Boulder, Colorado, USA. And before you make the inevitable joke, No. I was there for a wedding. And every moment Not dedicated to that wedding was spent either hiking in the mountains or drinking at a brewery. It was glorious.

I double-checked; there were no children nearby upon whose behalf these people could be appalled for by my obscenity.
