This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.
The first part, with the rain, we used to do in elementary school.. always amazing to see how effective that can be, even when it's kids doing it. As far as "Africa" goes, there are so many good acapella bands out there... I always liked the Brown Derbies (from Brown University) and the Cayuga Waiters (from Cornell University). Check 'em out! (And thanks for sharing!)
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

(And NetChick sent me, of course!)
Gee, this video looks familiar, hehe. I love randoming YouTube, I always find something that amazes, amuses, or inspires me.
I hadn't thought about the "storm exercise" for roughly 26 years. I'm amazed the memories my brain holds that are never triggered.
I flounced my way over here from NetChick's. Hallo!
This was great! Thank you!
Ok, now I am addicted. I have watched this at least ten times and I keep pulling people in to see it as they walk by. It's really very good!
