That title is/was a great performance by Ten Years
After at Woodstock all those years ago.
Alvin Lee on lead guitar; he was absolutely amazing. It is still one of my favorite performances
to watch of all times!!

and to be honest, I’m not
impressed. A few factors contribute to
my impression. One, the United Airlines
(timeliness of flights? What’s
that?!?!). My flight from Durango was an
hour and 20 minutes late taking off, but that was okay for me as I had a 3 ½ hour
layover in Denver; until I got to Denver and found out there’s another 1 ½ hour
delay! I won’t be on the ground in
Atlanta tonight until after midnight!
Hey, that’s another day’s per diem.
Oops! That doesn’t apply anymore.
Then,
the cave that the regional planes come into is one of the worst I’ve ever seen
in all my years of flying. It’s like a
tunnel, jammed with way too many people trying to do what they’re supposed to
do, long line, poor signage and NO flight monitors to let you know your next
gate.
Okay,
the whining’s over. The flight from
Durango was an amazing visual performance.
There is a LOT of snow up in the Rockies! Absolutely stunning views. As we left Durango, we headed northeast and I
wondered if I’d get to see Lemon Reservoir, the one John and Patricia own,
(well, they don’t really own it, but it’s theirs!).

Today, I was able to take a picture from the
plane of both Vallecito and Lemon Reservoirs, John and Patricia’s front and
back yards!! Here’s the shot from the
plane. Not the greatest pic, but
particularly memorable as two days ago I was hiking up the west side beyond
Lemon Reservoir!! Incredible! Thanks John!
Thanks Patricia!

I
had a chance this morning for coffee with Chris and some good conversation and
then he dropped me at Diane’s. Diane and
I had a small amount of time to connect and the conversation was amazing.

I’ve
got lots to process from this trip. I’m
certain this is an experience unique in my life. I’ve never had an opportunity to do the
things I’ve done in the manner I did them and for as long as I had. God has truly blessed me and I know that my
life is enriched by what has transpired.
I also know that I will be processing the events and experiences for some
time to come.
I
am indebted to the folks here in Durango that I encountered. And I am most certainly ready to be home and
with friends and family back in Georgia!!
I
am truly a blessed man!!
