After about 15 minutes of announcements and Paula's opinions on how to spend recreational marijuana tax revenues, we bring you fresh footage from the St. Paddy's Day PARADE through downtown Denver, mostly because we did this parade last year and we love parades and we think this parade is among the best in the area.

Soooooooo, we also squeezed Liz Gerdeman of the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado on the end because of some of her good news about better funds at the Brain Injury Project, formerly known as the Colorado TBI Trust Fund.

Also:  look for the Brainstorm Boulder speech of Melissa Abate, MA, who has spent 9 years at Craig Hospital of Englewood, CO., helping families deal with the severe injuries of a loved one.  She has far more than a "unique perspective" on this difficult subject: she has the most practical advice and strategies for people facing something many don't have words for. Her speech allowing numerous questions from the audience runs almost 80 minutes long, and can be found in the archives at www.denveropenmedia.org/project/6254/shows. It's a goodee.
