The Coffee Is Ready. The Hurricane Is Already Here. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Good morning. It is chilly up here. Elevation has its benefits, and temperature is one of them. It never gets too hot in the summer. We run ten to fifteen degrees cooler than down the hill. Mornings and evenings hand you a chill and remind you of Colorado’s only real rule: layer up. I like the chill. It is the season changing, which is just nature’s way of pointing out that humans can change too, if they feel like it.The coffee maker is gurgling in the background. Her morning song. A bird, if th

Monday morning, about 7:30. Parker’s already been out. She’s in there eating her curds and whey like she’s got a meeting later. Pretty soon we’ll gather the stuff and hit the road. Another fall trip with one of the kids and their crew in the books.It’s chilly. Snow’s coming. That’s the deal up here. Beautiful place. The people live in a different zip code of existence. Owning anything in Vail is a feather most of us will never put in a hat. Nice to visit. I wouldn’t wan

Good morning from Vail.We’re sitting at 8,161 feet, which is a hair lower than the house at 8,232. Close enough that nobody’s gasping. Between you and me, I think altitude is a longevity hack.

Good morning from 8,232 feet.I slept like a king next to my Queen. The sunrise started doing that thing it does up here, so I got up to watch it. Have you ever watched a sunrise from eight thousand feet? It’s mind-blowing and calming in the same snapshot. Most people never see what we wake up to. May I say we are grateful.If you’d told me this would be my life at this age, I would’ve thought you were out of your mind. I thank God every day for a brief window in His creation.We’re moving more t

Read excerpt
Good morning from Lawrence, Kansas. Home of the Jayhawks and, more importantly this week, a decent place to park a dog and a Tesla for the night.Woke up to rain. We’ve got a six-mile hike planned later. I am choosing to believe the sky will remember its manners.This is day three of the crawl back from Indiana to Colorado. Last night was a loft in St. Louis that felt like somebody had just finished hanging the art. Tonight we’re in a two-bedroom condo on the edge of the university. Walkable. Park
