The Colorado Restaurant Associationheld its usual shmooze- and booze-fest on the first day of the new legislative session, giving lawmakers a chance to graze through some prime snacks while Colorado State Senate President John Andrews got to retell that tired old joke about what his wife makes for dinner: reservations.
