Can you believe it's May tomorrow?

I really can't, I feel like the year is just getting started in some ways. 

I do have to run today, kind of got down to the wire so...

Let's get into it...

## 🏔️ Crew Bits

**Denver Airport** has the [second-longest walk from the terminal entrance to the farthest gate](https://www.instagram.com/p/DXxBNchCQ57/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) in the entire country at **over a mile** \- and I do feel like I've been flying out of that gate a lot.

Local charity **BGOLDN** needs [help with drivers](https://www.instagram.com/p/DXu7%5FjUEqkM/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) on Thursdays & Fridays!

There's [a fairy & elf festival](https://boulderdowntown.com/events/tulip-festival?ref=jeffcocrew.com) up in **Boulder** this Sunday that your kiddos will almost definitely find entertaining.

And **Cafe 13 in Golden** is giving you [a free coffee](https://www.instagram.com/p/DXwji-Gx5MR/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) if you show them a parking ticket you got in the last 7 days!
