The move to Colorado! If it’s near Fort Collins I’ll buy you a coffee, and explain how to pronounce the state name so you aren’t mocked. That is, if you’re not from around here…
LOL, wait. There's a trick to pronunciation? I'm not a native but my boyfriend is. Interesting... and thank you for the offer. We're not far from Fort Collins. We'll be in Denver.
So many of us learned to pronounce the state's name from John Denver, in Rocky Mountain High, where he sings about Col-o-RAH-do. But when you actually move here, you learn that the natives all say Col-o-RAAAAA-do, with a nasal thing going on. It's taken me five years to migrate toward saying it like the locals. I'm still self-conscious about it...

Best of luck for a good move and lots of rest in your time off, Lani.
