I'm also eating way too much. The Cheescake Factory has called me twice already, and there's an awesome diner up the street from my hotel.
Is it OK to have a Denver Omlette in Denver?
I had hash-browns and eggs.
Maybe it's just me?

I'm in Denver for the International Christian Retailers Show (CBA).

Bank On It
My Credit Union (bank) does a monthly newsletter. It usually is awful. This month it rocked.
1) They provided the phone number and web site for the Opt-out of credit card offers mailed to your home.
https://www.optoutprescreen.com/
1-888-567-8688
Do this and do it now!
You have to provide your SSN, but that's because the three credit reporting agencies sell their lists and you are known by your SSN which provides your credit report. The opt-out process flags your information so they can't sell it.
2) They provided the phone number and web address to get your free credit reports.
https://www.annualcreditreport.com/
This is the real address - don't make any typos or use the stuff you find in pop-up ads. Those are scams and are a quick way to go down the road to identity theft.
1-877-322-8228
You should do this at least a couple of times a year and keep your report up-to-date.
3) They provided a whole FBI fraud alert article.

It really gives you the heads-up on common scams to avoid and what to watch out for when trying to deposit a check that might come from a scam.
GO CREDIT UNION!
Way to go!
Also...
Last night I ate a sampler platter of evil at Damon's.
This sucker had skins, cheese sticks, onion strings, wings, and ribs.
Glorious... simply glorious.
maybe it's just me?
PS - it's my birthday today

Pancake-o-ramma
Every 4th of July, for several years, I've gone to the Graafschaap (just south of Holland, MI) volunteer fire dept. pancake breakfast fundraiser. It's pancakes, sausage, butter, syrup, nasty orange juice, and milk (2% or chocolate).
Pancakes are great, make no mistake, but seriously - people line up out the door for this thing.
I'm starting to recognize people I don't know based on their outfit. Yes, I'm implying that some people wear the same red-white-and-blue paraphernalia every year. There's one woman who really looks like Jane Fonda. (Not the "workout" Jane, but the recent "monster in-law" Jane. Please everyone out there, makeup should look natural. If I can see your makeup, then you are doing it wrong.) Anyway - she wears a flag. OK, it's a shirt that looks like it was made out of a flag. It's not good.
But the pancakes are pretty good, and it's all you can eat. What a better way to celebrate the bloody way our country declared it's independence from socialized medicine, high taxes, tea and crumpets, than to spend the rest of the day in a carbohydrate induced coma.
