At almost 8,500 feet in the Rockies, it can take a few breaths to walk up Central City's steep granite hills lined with Victorian homes, souvenir shops -- and an opera house that has served 19th-century gold miners as well as modern-day visitors.
You get what you pay for. And that means you don't get much anytime you fly these days.

Question: My 63-year-old mother earns about $1,200 a month, has $90,000 in savings and, as a result of a recent refinancing, has a $90,000 30-year mortgage. In three years she will begin collecting an estimated $1,300 a month from Social Security. A financial adviser suggests she put $60,000 into a variable annuity that is guaranteed to double in value in 10 years. Is this a good idea? --David, Denver, Colorado
I started sewing when I was 4 years old. I was using my mother's sewing machine when I turned 10, and in college I earned extra money by making and mending clothes. I would buy $5 suits from thrift stores, and then rip the seams apart and reconstruct the jackets and pants to fit me.
If there is a heart to the city of Denver, it is the Weil family. Two years ago, Mayor John Hickenlooper even named a street named after the patriarch, Jack A. Weil, who at 106 still heads to work every morning at Rockmount Ranch Wear, the company he founded in 1946.

It seemed inevitable: to the 50,000-plus who showed up at Coors Field on Monday night, waving those white towels and adjusting their ski caps and chanting "Too-Low!"; to the hundreds of thousands more around the city, giddy with anticipation, who wore purple blouses and purple ties and smiled at strangers, buzzed on communal belief; to the street vendors selling purple brooms for $5 at the corner of 19th and Blake; hell, even to the players and managers themselves. Before the game, there was Bob Melvin, Arizona's manager, quietly telling reporters, without much conviction, "We just have to find a way to win that first one," while Rockies manager Clint Hurdle was basking in his team's surreal run, saying, "This is one of those things where you get everybody back 10, 20 years down the road and you have a reunion gig."

If you like surprises, basketball hasn't very good to you this year.
After more than 10 extraordinary seasons in Philadelphia -- his gutsy, MVP-worthy performances unfolding against the backdrop of his numerous clashes with authority -- Allen Iverson is aiming to lead the Nuggets to their first postseason series win in 13 years. At 31, the almost waifish guard with the third-highest career scoring average (27.9) in NBA history is sharing the spotlight with Denver's young star, Carmelo Anthony, and, three months after the trade that shook the NBA, finding peace.
While the bottom feeders in the Eastern Conference are seemingly doing their best to stay out of the playoff race (the difference between a legitimate shot at Greg Oden and a first-round sweep is frighteningly small), their West counterparts are battling for the conference's final two playoff spots.

My wife and I are newlyweds and have just begun saving for a home. We put $6,500 into a money-market account at our local bank that pays just 0.3 percent interest. I noticed that several banks on the Internet are paying 2 percent on their money-market accounts for the same deposit. Can there really be such a huge difference in rates -- and is it worthwhile for me to switch?
Are you lucky when it comes to air travel? If you live near an airport that's the hub of a low-fare carrier, you are very lucky to be blessed with low prices and few restrictions.
