smile Andy...


yup, usually how it goes - the man just does not smile easily for pictures...he's not upset or irritated, he just doesn't smile for pictures much. He's still real handsome to me though. ;)

14er - Grays Peak

Our venture to peak this 14er actually began 3 miles before the trail started! The road was impassible for my little honda so we hoofed it up the 3 mile hill to the trail (which was another 4 miles to the top from there)

it was a beautiful day at Grays Peak!


This was where we turned around...we had gone about 5 miles and were worried about the weather changing - they say you should be heading down from summit by noon because of quick weather changes. But we did great and will be back later this summer to reach the TOP!

Goodbye Michael


I remember, for my 18th birthday, all i wanted was a large portrait drawing of Michael Jackson's face. And that's what my parents got me. All through college i had that picture posted in my residence hall room or apartment. I loved him and his music then (and before, really), and I love his music just as much today. In fact, I have been listening to his number ones album lately...and now will probably keep listening to it for a while.

I'm sad about his death, but it has caused me to stop and realize how he has been a presence in my life (through his music) for so many years. Someone i always admired, even when I didn't understand the life he lived. It feels strange to think that he is gone...
