WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. . . 
Bar reconnaissance
 
Bob and I sacrificed mightily today and did some bar recon in Englewood, looking for a great place for our next happy hour. 
 
We didn't find one.
 
However, there are several newish spots in Englewood that are interesting, just too small for a group of 15 or so.
 
There's ZOMO, zomoeats.com, which bills itself as Asian American. The young proprietors have Vietnamese and Chinese backgrounds. Food sounds yummy. It's a cute, contemporary venue, but, again, too small. 
 
Our happy hours are best when we have some room to stand around and chat, ideally in our own room.
 
We also looked in the windows of Acres, acrescolorado.com. Very interesting. Short, innovative menu that changes according to what's in season, etc. Had a really nice patio and lots of wine. But Very Small.
 
We ventured a little north on Broadway into Denver, and I poked my head into The Post Chicken and Beer. Quite interesting. It's part of a brewery group. Chicken and waffles, garlic mashed potatoes. Looked like a good bar. Heavy garlic aroma. And too small.
 
Anyway, I share this because they're newish, and some of us might try them out on their own.
 
Meantime, probably tomorrow morning, we'll nail down a happy hour venue, probably back in the DTC.
 
Oh, we wound up in the DTC at Griffin Tavern, which also is too small. But we were starving at that point and had lunch. Food was quite good. I had a steak salad and Bob had a Cuban sandwich.

This week's program
 
It's Donna Ralston talking about the South Metro Medical Loan Closet, which I've been telling you about. This is a great program.
 
As I've said, there are service opportunities here for us and the possibility of promoting free medical equipment on loan to the people of Englewood. 
 
Donna is a forever member of Hope United Methodist Church, where she has led many mission trips. She has a heart of gold. 
 
Her husband died about a month ago, so it would be nice to offer condolences.
 
You also may recognize the Ralston name, as her son Aaron survived a climbing/hiking accident by hacking off his own arm. His story became the movie "127 Hours."
