Month: August 2007

Day Nine was spent blissfully relaxing high in the mountains at my parents’ place in Estes Park, CO. This is a beautiful place, over 7,800 feet high, with the mountains all around me, a real bed to sleep in, and a day with absolutely nothing to do. Well, nothing other than: Sunday brunch at The…

Memories of day eight… Waking up in Taos, and yet more blog updates. I’m always surprised at how much time I have to put in to keep this kind of thing really going. However, I’m also pleasantly surprised at the feedback people have sent me — thank you all. It’s great to hear. Warning: free…

I’ve just posted blog entries for the last four days…I’ve been away from real Internet access (that is, besides my iPhone, which is good for little snapshots but not for anything real) for that long. Take a look if you want — two posts per day, one with words, one with pictures. I’ll try to…
