It feels great to be home. However, I will say that I miss the Texas sun. Summer isn't summer without the sun's warm glow, and I certainly haven't felt it yet back in the mountains here.
Without the sun
We would all freeze
Sort of like a refrigerator full of monkeys
Nothing but clouds. Nothing but clouds and rain. I know that sounds depressing, but not to my optimistic mind. Yeah, maybe the sun is asleep on the job, but that gives me a perfect opportunity to play guitar without any feelings of guilt for being inside. Not only that, but I am able to sleep later in the morning without the pesky light sneaking into my room and disturbing my sleep.
In order to keep things fair, I wrote a little poem about it for all you pessimists out there:
Life is no funWithout the sun
We would all freeze
Sort of like a refrigerator full of monkeys
I think it's a good poem. Maybe it could be the lyrics to my first song? I'll work on that...back to the guitar...
Things are heating up in Bakersfield, California! We have already gotten all 10 inches of our rain already, so no cloudy skies for us. I went swimming for the first time about a month ago, and will be heading out for my first wakeboarding expedition of the year in the Sierra Nevadas. Will be a little chilly, but what are wet-suits made for?

Hey Taylor! Sounds like an exciting expedition you've got planned...do you have any pictures of you tearing up the waves--I mean wakes? If so, email 'em. Good to hear from you, cuz.
send some of that rain down here to h-town! my goodness we need some.
today we actually got a bit of rain...and it lasted for more than ten minutes, quite weird for Colorado. But seeing how it was warm and I hadn't run amock in the wet stuff in a while, I took delight in actin a fool in front of all these tourists, splish splash baby!
Well... I did not get around to wakeboarding, the water looked to cold for submerging my delicate body.
I did get to jet ski, even though there was snow on the bank and you could not feel your body.
