Sekar Jamming with the boys...

So it was a good week... work was decent, had some time to be outside in the BEAUTIFUL fall weather and then went to see a band Fri night called March 4th. They are a funky marching band I saw in Strawberry last spring and got to see them again here. Had a great time dancing, hanging with members of their band family and got a great lamp! (you have to visit to see it)... Then worked a flu clinic sat til noon (ugg I was tired) and then came home and cleaned up for a party at our house last night. GREAT group of folks and tons of kids, awesome food, wonderful people and music. It was really nice. Sekar who is 7 and never played without sheet music who has been studying music about 2 years DID PHENOMINALLY playing with the band. She stunned everyone with her natural talent, great ear and amazing rhythem. She had a blast! Today we are going to a local Burning Man party and then back home to clean up, catch up and get ready for the week. hope you are all happy and healthy... much love, Kim

recovery...

Had a fabulous weekend of sleep, cleaning, organizing, paying bills, seeing friends, being outside etc etc etc... It feels good to be human again. Back to work tomorrow. Actually very happy I didn't go on the rafting trip with Brad since he still isn't back yet and I got SO much done with him not being here. If I had gone I would be exhausted starting the week and wouldn't have been able to do any of the things that currently make me happy when I look around my clean and organized house.

was gonna talk about my 140 hour 8 day week

but for some reason i couldn't publish it... maybe the universe doesn't want me to complain. ok so i won't. life is really good except the fact that it snowed the last few days and i am not ready for winter... ok maybe i will complain a little....

a very busy week ahead of work but with sign language class, working with Shinta, meetings etc interspersed. along with call...

hope you all have a healthy and happy week... get your flu shots :)

being back home and aspen colors

Sorry this is a late entry... Had a good week at work and got to see the Aspen colors change... truly magnificent. Then this weekend spent time Fri night on call, Sat working and then walking with Clifford on a beautiful day. Went on a date with Brad to the Glenwood Springs Vaudeville Review by some of the same folks that used to do the Crystal Palace. It was dinner theater and fun. Then went to a friends house and hung out with them. We stayed in Mercy and the next day had breakfast with our friends and came home, put the final picture we have of this summer's adventures in Mercy (the Grand Canyon) and enjoyed another beautiful day. I have a VERY busy next 2 weeks while others are on vacation and I am at work with lots of make up call but this is the last of the VERY hard stints since Jenny is on board and life will be so much better.

Hope all are happy and healthy... lots of love, Kim

missing burning man

Back at work and missing some of the fun things about Burning Man. ie the playa water skiier, exploring the art and the dessert and some nice times with Brad. It was really a spectacular experience. This week work was good and then got to spend Friday night at a Nepali place with Shinta and her family celebrating her getting her green card! This is huge since now she can work and they won't be SO strapped for money. They are so happy and I so enjoy being with her. She really is a special person! This weekend we are upgrading our server at work and that is an expensive and scary thing. Tonight I went to a party of a friend (Anna, a rocket scientist) in celebration of her moving. She is very cool and I will miss her. It was a tribute to her that the party was an 80s party and tons of people were there in costume and dancing up a storm. That is it for this week. Hope you all had a good week. Lots of love and peace, Kim

beautiful hiking near telluride

Sorry for the late update... was at Blues and Brews celebrating Brad's 45th bday... had crazy weather from rain, snow, sun etc but weathered it all in Mercy which performed stuningly. Listened to great music including live performances by Willy Nelson and others... hung out with friends and had a superb meal for B's bday. Had a great hike up to these waterfalls and did it all with a cold. Not a bad way to spend a weekend... back to reality and work though :)

Burning Man 2011

Burning Man 2011... we are no longer Virgins! WOWOWOWOWOW... I can't even describe the experience...

The pictures tell you so little since you can't hear the sounds, smell the smells, feel the heat etc etc. It was a mind blowing, wonderful, jaw dropping show of humanity, imagination, artistic talent and SO MUCH MORE.

There was TONS of love, lots of helping each other, working together, community, love, love, love...

You can see more pictures by checking out my facebook page or google Burning Man and go to their web site to learn more about it...

I loved the philosophy of Burning Man with no commerce but rather gifting as the philosophy.

People were very free with their hugs... it was SO GREAT! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
