Travelogue: Colorado

I recently flew to Colorado to attend a good friend’s undergraduate commencement ceremony, and took some time to visit with friends and play tourist a bit. Of the 300+ shots I snapped over 10 days, here are the ten pictures that best capture my trip. There are several other important moments as well, and some of them are on my Facebook page, so mosey over there for a few more.

Music & Where It Takes Me

Ok, so, with the ability to edit, re-edit, and edit again, I’m going to compile an expanding list of music that has seeped out of my life. Some I should have held on to a bit tighter and some I was right to let slip away, but each artist speaks to a specific moment in my life. Even if an individual song makes me shake my head in wonder it’s the moment that I’m after. I , therefore, make no apologies *snicker* * snicker*

I suspect that most of these titles are out of print but this will serve as a starting point for memories familiar. Some are albums, some are individual songs.
