Estes Park Sept 2007

2007-10-14T17:31:00.000-05:00

This is a video of our drive through Estes Park and up into the mountains in Colorado at the end of September. You can notice that it was raining when we were at lower elevations, but stopped the higher up we got. At 10,000 ft, the road was blocked off, we parked, and I walked a little ways higher to see if I could see anything else. Needless to say, it was VERY cold and I only had shorts (brought no long pants with me to Colorado) and a short sleeved shirt.

Sandy and I went to Boulder to go to a dear friends wedding. On the first day there, we went to Pearl Street Mall and found a fantastic candy store...it had all the candy you could imagine. We also did a little other shopping. As you watch this video, you will see that when we travel, we only buy the essentials!

I meant to put this up two days ago on the second anniversary of hurricane Katrina, but I didnt have it finished. Please watch this. I think that it is important we remember what happened, so that if we ever find ourselves in circumstances where this might happen again, we can prevent it.

So I was away this past weekend for a convention/contest I will put in a different post, however the hotel I stayed at was gigantic...it reminded me of biodome because in addition to all the rooms for the guests, there were a ton of plants, waterfalls, restaurants, etc. I was actually just beginning to get a sense of direction in the place on the last day I was there (3 days)...which was also the case for other people there who you could overhear saying they were lost. Anyway, this is just a bit of video I took while walking around the hotel/resort.

I would never claim to be an authority on the meaning of this poem...as a matter of fact, like most people, it takes a lot of work on my part to glean things from poems... but for me, this poem has universal value. There are things that hold people back in life-self imposed or by others-and this poem uses the panther behind the bars at the zoo (that Rilke saw in Paris) to illustrate this point. The last part of the poem is particularly interesting to me because it suggest that though our innate desires can be stifled, these instincts don’t go away...they are still there...is this hope? Maybe our passions never die...and we are doomed to live behind these bars. I dont know. What does this poem mean to you?

So this is the first attempt at trying to get something online using some things I got while in the subway. Please forgive the extra background noise that apparently reverberates much more than I expected in the subway.
