There is not a more magical place to listen to a concert on this planet than Red Rocks. The clouds to the north, on the left of this photo, backlit the stage with a playful lightning show Wednesday throughout the evening.

Karen and I met with friends for dinner in Golden before the show. First time to see Jed and Gretchen post-apocalypse. We had a blast.

I still have my Lyle Lovett CD from thirty years ago. This is the first time I’ve seen him play in concert. His voice was as sweet as Texas tea – experienced, melodic and enchanting. Imagine listening to a Texas country twang backed by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Great show.

The Slacker Half

Brit ran a two-hour half marathon Saturday from the Loveland ski area to Georgetown, termed the Slacker Half because it’s mostly downhill, but it’s also quite high in elevation. Meanwhile, her husband Eric paced his buddy Matt through the Western States 100 mile ultra in Tahoe. It’s a running family.

Karen and I took care of baby Margot in a comfortable townhome in Keystone while Brit ran. Great location just past Loveland Pass. When I drove Brit back over the pass for the race start, we saw deer crossing the road at an actual road crossing sign and a herd of big horn sheep near A-Basin. It was a good day for running.

Rainy Runs

I think Margot and I were both falling asleep in this photo. I can tell you that she lasted maybe ten more minutes with me stroking the back of her head. I’m still tired, but that’s age.

I’ll tell you what this cool weather and rain is good for. Running twelve miles on the LoBo Trail. This sign was my six-mile turn-around.

The rain has been good for the grasses too. Everything is so green. It was a good run.
