August 8, 2005 — This weekend we went to the annual Crestone Music Festival. It’s a delightful two-day event, with many local and regional groups. I always feel that it captures the essence of our community. This year I was struck with how many of the pre-teen kids I can remember as toddlers. One of […]
July 5, 2005 — On Independence Day, we enjoyed our small-town parade and saw lots of friends. It seemed the fitting time to announce what we had recently decided for sure… We are going to sell our home in Colorado. This doesn’t mean that we are going to buy a place in Mexico anytime real […]
July 3, 2005 — Every now and then I play around a while in Photoshop Elements, learning more of its features. It has a whole bunch of filters, and the other day I found a photo we’d taken at Media Luna, a lovely lake outside of Rio Verde in the state of San Luis Potosi. […]

There’s a story there, the tale of four teenage boys in West Phoenix who had a couple of dedicated high school science teachers. The team took on […]
June 20, 2005 — A couple of days ago, Kelly and I went to a talk given by a photographer we know. Bill Ellzey has been a professional photographer for over 30 years, and his eye for natural beauty is vivid. One of his photos has even made the cover of National Geographic, something of […]
June 28, 2005 — Last night Kelly and I had dinner with a friend of ours here in Colorado. She is here part of the year, at her house in Italy at times, and recently got back from living on the Oregon coast for several months as a house exchange for her house in Italy. […]
June 24, 2005 — I find I’ve been mulling over my life in Mexico a lot in the last few days here in the US. We are still trying to figure out just how we want to lead our lives… I’m surprised at how many people that I chat with in my small town (Crestone) […]
