    Bummer about the balloon. That wind out west is no joke. We came back a nice rust red color in our hair and clothes after our jeep ride from all that blowing sand.

    Would love to do Antelope! I was trying to work it into the itinerary, but it was getting tight. By the end of the 10 days, kids were starting to drag a bit.

    Same thing every year August in Tokyo. Going on 18 years straight.  Too hot but the hospitality and food makes up for it.

    The road trip was gonna be to see Madonna, front n centre, with only three rows in front of us. I had hoped to impress Pipsqueak with Madonna's artistry, dancing, and costumes so she could compare the experience to the younger female vocalists, Olivia Rodriguez and B. Eilish, she saw last year.

    Of course, my daughter's concert experiences may never top her playing the tambourine alongside Pearl Jam at Ohana, with a version of Rockin in the Free World promoting female reproductive rights, but Lady M would have given PJ a run for their money... oh well, reschedule it is...

    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    View from my hotel balcony. The wifi sucks but the ocean is really warm. So I am very happy right now.

    I kicked the summer off w/a trip to Denver in June to go to Red Rocks where I meet up w/some old friends and spent the night doing yoga and dancing w/Michael Franti.

    In Aug I fly to Bozeman and then up near Glacier for a week in a sweet Air BnB  house w/ friends from Durango. 
    Glacier is my favorite place so far. And Durango may be the area I spend my retirement in. Have a blast!
