July 16: Boise's where it's at

I spent this past weekend with Debi and Deanna in Boise. Except for being god-awful hot I had a marvelous time. The kids are absolutely adorable and were definitely the highlight of my visit. I already can't wait to go back, but not until it's a leetle cooler or I am less fat and sweaty.

In honor of my trip, I Googled "Boise is" and here's what I found.

Boise is...

• booming
  
• at an elevation of 2704 feet (824 m) above sea level
  
• fluttering with bright colors thanks to a butterfly exhibit
  
• not San Francisco
  
• here. Captain Poop to the Rescue!!!
  
• good, it’s clean and people are friendly
  
• diverse and vibrant
  
• waiting for a check
  
• a great summertime destination
  
• second to none for all your computer repair needs
  
• as green as Dublin
  
• near the bottom
  
• absolutely for real
  
• too far from where you are
  
• online!!!
  
• smaller than Portland, yes; but the goth scene is almost the same size
  
• aging me
  
• in Idaho
  
• not bulletproof
  
• a lot like Honolulu
  
• adorable
  
• being dodged by the traditional powerhouses
  
• pronounced "Boi-see" and not "Boi-zee"
  
• a great guy
  
• cursed
  
• the capital of Nowheresville
  
• not a large city with as high of a demand for marijuana as Los Angeles
  
• indeed blue
  
• the perfect city for a memorable visit
