I grew up catholic with much more of the Sermon on the Mount Christianity; most of what I see now is the emphasis on the Old Testament and strict adherence to rules, especially for women and children.

Yes. But I was really struck by the plethora of testimonies of,nearly always, fathers beating their kids and claiming it to be biblically sanctioned.

In the 80s I hung out with people who were James Dobson fans. Not my jam, but it seemed benign. Then I saw a ton of trauma coming out after he died yesterday, recalling physical beatings as a result of his promotion of corporal punishment. So disturbing.

Sending our boy off to UNM in Albuquerque. It’s harder than I thought it would be, but proud he will be a Lobo.

The Smithsonian is a revered institution, and now it will be ruined.

Thank you Joe!

For 27 years I have been fortunate to celebrate my birthday with our son, since we are back to back. Great dinner in Arroyo Seco, NM.

And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.

Happy Colorado Day; 149 and counting. I am luck to have been able to spend nearly half of my life in this beautiful state.

This weeks marks 35 years since our first date in Gainesville, Florida. We married in New Mexico, lived in Nebraska and Montana, and settled in Colorado. Two great kids, a perfect son in law, and two wonderful grand kids later and here we are.

In June I was fortunate to visit five national parks and one monument: have you been and what is your favorite?

Happy Canada Day to friends on here; we love your country.

Great Joe; that looks incredible.

Awesome Joe and that looks fabulous.

July 1, 44 degrees, Rio Grande in southern Colorado and the sun coming over a new month. We are now on the backside of 2025 and I sure hope we see better than the first part. Not optimistic, but this view gives me inspiration.

This does not apply to most of you, but some of you are connected to the SLV or Adams State and might find this of interest. We are having a celebration of life for Ed Crowther tomorrow, a gifted and significant professor of history. 10:00 am Saturday, Richardson Hall www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjnC...

Nice, Joe. I grew up about 30 miles from Fort Robinson, site of his murder.

On a Montana hillside today where dedicated people defended their way of life.

Hitting the national parks in Wyoming and Montana this week.

One of the most haunting sites in Nee Mexico. Dawson cemetery, holding the graves of some 400 victims of mining disasters in 1913 and 1923; two of the worst in U.S. history. #NewMexico

Cimarron, NM. Triggered the Colfax County War.

Hey Joe: I wish I was going some place exotic; but I split my time between Denver and Alamosa and I was just flying back to Alamosa after catching a ride to Denver.

I was at DIA this week and saw the Lufthansa airbus pull up; the largest passenger plane in the world, coming from Munich. I can say that is a big ass plane.

Spanish Peaks one week later.

Cloud-capped Spanish Peaks tonight, hopefully indicative of the much-needed gathering rain over the next couple of days in southern Colorado.

Clear and sunny in Denver today.

Carmelo Anthony in the jockey’s room is quite a spectacle.
