Last night brought back memories of the sand volleyball days. I was able to go out to the courts here in Boulder with friends from my indoor pick-up games and have a blast. It's wild to think the "old days" of v-ball are literally old days, 4-5 years gone. I think Kirk is the only other player still around who would be up for sand v-ball from those times. Still it was a lot of fun and the views from the court are stunning.

In PR news, my book is out n' rolling so order your copy today! Colorado folks: ask at your local bookstore by name, it helps with orders and supports the hometown shops (Boulder Book Store in Boulder and the Tattered Cover in Denver are great places to check out). And if anyone would be as so kind as to write up a quick review, which I'm sure will be glowing but not too glowing, for Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble--well that would be plum awesome.

Also, it's been the dog days of Boulder out here--yes it's been hot, but I've also gotten to watch Mystic for the past 6 days, since Sheila has been out on a mini-vacation. I cannot express how cool this dog is, he's a bit wild when in the wilderness (makes sense) but he's a really fun, cuddly guy when the day is done. We've been watching Rockies games on TV, chillin with Xanadu (who loves him) and it's going to be tough to give him back! Never fear, I'm still a "cat guy" but the ratio is probably like 51/49 when the dog is as awesome as Mr. Mystic.
