and now, we’ve gone. Gone from Colorado Springs and on our way to Tucson. From there to Orange County. With our final destination by the end of next week, Berkeley, California, where we’ll finally drop our bags for a stay of more than a few months.

Thanks to Colorado for the hospitality, the beautiful weather, the reasonably unique people, and of course the great family that will keep me coming back.

Dan gets all the fun..

His last night in Tucson Kira sets up a dinner and a potluck of a scavenger hunt down 4th ave. Dan accepts, Dan performs, Dan cuts some corners, but we’re several drinks in and no one can figure out his magic. Dan buys the next round. Dan wins at pool – or did he lose?

Dan’s gone the following day, only I will see him soon.

Kira & Tara share the mic. Tara not so much, Kira a little bit much. Who’s that in the background, won’t you be quite? Where is this girl from, someone get here a gig – or at least a snuggie.

A quick rundown of Dan’s new direction. Will this change how he lives life? I think it will contribute to the amount of cash he spends in the coming months, and perhaps the amount of cash he’ll spend in the coming years.

Good school, but will he be okay going to ‘that school which should not be said.’ If you lie with dogs you rise up with fleas. Does that fit here, or is he bigger than that?

We’ll see.

A master of disaster and of recovery. Chad’s up on his feet and finally takes a look at his bike. After a bit of time turning wrenches, a couple of eBay purchases, and some psycotherapy, Chad straps on his boots and knoggin-knockin-protector and takes Fizzer for a ride.
