Mountains and music
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010It’s September 28, and on tap to be 92 degrees today. While I am seriously perturbed at Denver’s unwillingness to budge into fall, the good news is that there is no snow in the mountains, and I was able to get several more 14ers under my belt this past Saturday.
I did the Decalibron – that is, I climbed Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross, all mountains over 14,000 feet high. I don’t know that I have a goal of climbing all 54 of the Colorado 14ers, but with 12 down, I’m well on my way.

On Sunday, I bought a piano. I know I’m only 36 hours in, but I am absolutely giddy over this new acquisition. For the last two nights, I’ve stayed up playing it for hours. It’s a necessity for getting ready to record some demos when I’m in Nashville in December.
That’s right, folks: new songs are on their way. I’m stoked (yes, I said it: STOKED) about sharing them – even if a few aren’t entirely finished yet. Nothing like a deadline.

I’m pretty sure that my life these days could be summed up this way:
“You climb a mountain because it’s there; you write a song because it’s not.” -Jon Foreman
