whitewater kayak and mountain bike with Stella, my dog who follows behind me. Those are the biggies. The others, ya know... dancing, singing, and occassionally doodle on my mandolin when I decide to motivate myself to play it. Music, ah music. One of the few things that can make my soul ache.
This picture is real. This was on our way to home from the Arches Nat'l Park. this huge storm rolled in bringing an incredible contrast with the red and orange mountains.
I'd like to meet:
Catch up with old friends, keep in touch with the present good ones, and enjoy a good conversation. I'll pretty much chat with anyone ... AS LONG AS I'm not tempted to wash your mouth out with soap. (keep it real, keep it clean) But don't worry... it won't stop me from talking to you. Well, it may if you're really vulgar.
