...that merely requested jeans and a collar. I had a joint bank account and dental insurance. Yet, on any given day, if you'd asked me about my greatest accomplishment, it invariably began with my second life-the one in which I was a seven-foot blue elf whose hobbies included firing crossbows, trapping wild boars and reenacting the video for Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." In May I quit because I didn't want any illusions about which of my two lives were more important...

The streets are lined with rows of crumbling, freestanding Italianate façades sprayed with bullets, splashed by rocket-propelled grenades and showing clear blue sky where their roofs and walls used to be.

...High City is seen as a good jumping-off point for a West eyed hungrily by Democrats. Of course, Denver has long been a Democratic stronghold - with Mayors John Hickenlooper and Federico Pena and Congresswomen Pat Schroeder and Diana DeGette - though the state of Colorado can tilt red or blue, depending upon the whims of independents. The past election marked a transition from Republican Governor Bill Owens to Democrat Bill Ritter.
