Yet, as of this morning I just took on two freelance assignments for the Boulder Weekly too good to pass up. The first one involves interviewing Eric Weihenmayer, famous for climbing Mount Everest (not to mention the "seven summits"--the highest peaks on each continent). You may also note that Eric is blind, which makes the whole thing a bit more tricky. I'll be interviewing him regarding a new film he is starring in called Blindsight. I'll be at the premier here in Boulder in a few weeks as well. It's a fascinating project and too good to pass up.
My other assignment is covering a few new road-bike events in Boulder. While not quite as philosophically gripping, I actually get in touch with two of my friends I haven't seen in a while since they are the race reps. So again, this falls in the category of "good busy".
In the category of "crazy scary" comes this wild homicide story from Loveland, Colorado. The extra scary part is that this happened in my friend Krista's neighborhood (her blog is over there "Krista Stories"). Without getting too much into it, she was there to watch some of the madness unfold and thankfully, she wasn't involved. Having something happen like this in your own neighborhood is bound to rattle you a little bit and of course make you wonder about the nature of people. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, you know?
So a lot going on for a Friday, good and bad. I'm sure there's some kind of all-compassing tie-in to all these things but my brain is too dull to piece them together.
