Nice video. You looked fine. I was at the Denver airport once, but that's all I saw of Colorado. I was changed planes there during a trip from Wyoming to Providence. I'd been in a rollover motor vehicle accident in Wyoming which had resulted in over 1,000 stitches in my head and a few behind my shoulder and in my wrist. I was in the hospital for several days and under general anesthesia both when the stitches were put in and removed. I would have flown any route to get home! I was lucky that the accident happened where it did, though, because the doctor who stitched me had had experience in 'Nam, so he'd had a lot of practice putting people together again. This was in '73. He suggested when I get home that I see a plastic surgeon, and I did, but I never had the surgery, so I'm missing the top of one ear and have some lumps and bumps in my forehead. The way of fixing my ear would have been to take skin from my armpit (I think) and graft it on. Didn't seem worth the bother, so I just make sure my hair is long enough to cover the tops of my ears!
