It’s been quite a while since I’ve used my humble blog as a forum for some actual personal recollections.<\/p>\n
I had a good day today. As I write this, my dark room is lit by the soft glow of a low-watt lamp. Fremont is contentedly chewing away on his busy bone, Xanadu is half asleep on the desk in front of my monitor and with all apologies to Robert Frost, I have miles to write before I sleep. A mix of good writing music is playing in the background, right now it’s Neil Young’s Heart of Gold. <\/em><\/p>\n If the younger version of myself circa 1999 could get a snapshot of this scene, he’d be pleased. It was 10 years ago today I was out here to stay, the alpha day of my Boulder life. And what a beautiful day to commemorate the occassion\u00a0— I had a glorious afternoon mountain bike ride at Hall Ranch, got the 99% approval on a new townhouse I’ll be likely renting starting in December and spent quality time with my pets. I could have never imagined the stories I’ve lived out here, the people who have come and gone and the places I’d see in my time out here but… here I am.<\/p>\n All those memories are mine to swirl around in my head.
