Liz is working (in Denver)
Congratulations to Liz Kellermeyer who found a (paying) job in Denver after just two weeks of residency there.
Liz moves west (Cats on a Plane)
You would assume a passenger on JetBlue would experience fewer tribulations than a pioneer travelling in a covered wagon, but that assumption does not appear to hold in Liz’s move to Denver.
Liz is moving to Denver
In her latest blog entry, Liz of urbanhonking says she is moving to Denver at the end of the month. Hopefully her move will not mean the end of her competitive eating writing career. There are currently more upcoming southwestern contests than northeastern ones.
