Gasping for air in Denver
Conventions are unhealthy affairs -- nearly a week of eating bad food (or not eating enough) indulgent cocktail parties and little sleep. But some Florida delegates have found time to exercise.
State Rep. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach slipped out at noon today to play basketball at the Denver Athletic Club. He got a mean introduction to the mile high altitude. "We are not in Kansas," Gelber joked hours later. "This air is thin. ... I told some of the guys that if anything happens to me, 'My name is Gelber and tell my wife and kids I love them.' "
Delegate Jon Ausman of Tallahassee spent Monday morning climbing Mount Evans on his bike -- all 14,000 feet. He still seemed winded on the floor of the convention Tuesday night.
