Brandi Carlile - Have you ever ….. Have you ever wandered lonely through the woods? And everything there feels just as it should You’re part of the life thereYou’re part of something good If you’ve ever wandered lonely through the woods*
Have you ever stared into a starry sky? Lying on your back you’re asking why What’s the purpose I wonder who am I If you’ve ever stared into a starry sky*
Have you ever been out walking in the snow? Tried to get back to where you were before You always end up not knowing where to go If you’ve ever been out walking in the snow If you’d ever been out walking you would know

NO PRESSURE OVER CAPPUCCINO ALANIS MORISSETTE
Oe..They’ll throw opinions like rocks in riots
And they’ll stumble around like hypocrates
And is it just me or is it dark in here? *
You may never be or have a husband
You may never have or hold a child
You will learn to lose everything
We are temporary arrangements *
And you’re like a 90’s Noah
And they laughed at you when you packed all of your things
And they wonder why you’re frustrated
And they wonder why you’re so angry
Is it just me or are you fed up *
And God bless you in your travels, in your conquests, and queries
Drove about 10 miles toward the Continental Divide this morning. I was going to hike the Columbine Trail to Lake Columbine but there was still a lot of snow. The trailhead is Meadow Creek Reservoir so I hiked around there and took this photo. Once the snow melts I’ll be back. The mountains are part of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and the ridge is the Continental Divide.

This is the view from the hike Abbey and I do every day. It’s looking north with a view of the Headwaters Golf Course. The mountains in the background are part of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Never Summer Wilderness. Earlier in the day I drove up Rt 34 towards Rocky Mountain National Park and there was a storm brewing: rain, thunder and lightening-and 10 degrees cooler.

This is the view from the hike looking east at the Sol Vista ski resort in Granby Ranch. The hiking and biking trails are well maintained and there are so many of them. I’ve been exploring new trails every day.
Interesting article from WSJ.
The wind’s in the sky, and the blue’s in the ocean The thought’s in my mind, sending me into motion I could fly or I could fall, but to never have tried at all Scares me more than anything in the world*The leaves on the trees, and the color’s in flowers The thought’s in my mind, and I toss it around for hours I could win or I could lose, heaven above will have to choose.*
Scares me more than growin old Scares me more than growing cold Scares me more than being told:
It’s all on me, loss or victory*The sun’s in my shine, and the clouds in my coffee The thought’s in my mind, and it slowly consumes me
I could hit or I could miss, but just to sit around like this Scares me more than anything in the world

I just love Carlile’s sound and her lyrics are amazing. I first discovered her music on Grey’s Anatomy and have been listening to her songs on Napster. This is a really good song and I really like the lyrics. Listen to it sometime:
Turpentine:
I watch you grow away from me in photographs And memories like spies
And salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was was ten again So I could be your friend again*
These days we go to waste like wine
That’s turned to turpentine
It’s six AM and I’m all messed up I didn’t mean to waste your time
So I’ll fall back in line But I’m warning you we’re growing up*
I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play and there’s no one allowed in
Then just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again*We’re OK I know we’re OK
and
Wasted:
Every time you close a door and nothing opens in its place you’ve wasted
And when you speak the words you know to those who know the words themselves you’re wasted,
You’re such a classic waste of cool, so afraid to break the rules in all the wrong places
Then again it’s good to get a call Now and then just to say hello
I found this picture today while going through some boxes. I*think it was taken in 2002 by Bee-Rad, at his house and right before I left Bethel to move to Killington.

This is the baby moose that was in the neighbor’s yard yesterday.
