Very glad that the last two years have been formative parts of your world, even if it wasn't necessarily Boulder or late night shenanigans with me or sporadic writing binges I would take out on you – - – Colorado is such a great place to be a part of your history. Use lots of atomic tangerine in your palette! It's a very happifying color :) Will miss you g, even if I was never around to begin with . . .

I've been to Boulder once and Colorado many times. You describe the beauty that I recall in my memories, the color that I see when I close my eyes and think of the fall aspens, the pristine white and the ultimate silence of freshly falling snow in the winter, and the warm, soulful, spirit-ful people who live there.

Thank you for the beautiful post — and the reminder.

(p.s., Good luck in New York. 'Tis a great city. Our daughter spent almost-four great, life-changing years there… and has just returned to Cincinnati, Ohio for the next chapter in her life.)

Boulder is just that place! And you're the perfect guy to say it's so! It's awesome to see how your life was transformed. I know you left a great mark on that fair city.

As you know, I too was transformed by the 'West” and all these years later, you finally put it in words for me! :) You're doing what great writers do best, inspiring others! All the best and prayers for your Dad!

You will be missed! On the plus side, NYC is a great place for all of us to visit.

Absolutely poetic, George (and you KNOW I like me some poetry;) ). What a lovely tribute to a place and the people who clearly not only touched your life but enriched it in the process. You sound like you leave Colorado wiser, not just a few years older :).

{{was popping over to send my thoughts & prayers to you for your dad, but when I read this I had to comment about your post, too.}}
