Returned recently from a trip to visit my buddy Steve in Colorado. A large part of me has become intrigued by the world around me outside of home. Don't get me wrong, there truly is no place like home...it's that there are billions of people who will never see anything outside of their neighborhood and that saddens me when there's so much beauty out there. I think this hit me at some point during a hike in the Rockies; it was one of those moments that hits you and you say to yourself "whoa, I'm really here". In my case, the Rocky Mountains were that place. Imagine- those of you who do not live near mountains- waking up in the morning, looking outside your window, and seeing breath-taking, white-capped mountains. These colossal hills just aching to be explored and experienced....and this is your daily life, your reality. I'm curious to see what it is about the world away from home that people don't at least want to visit. To me, it's been a no-brainer, seeing different parts of the country and the world...
Anyway, Colorado was great. Saw a lot, experienced a lot, caught up with a good friend...and I think I left a piece of myself out there, which means I'll be back to pick it up some time. Managed to catch Shannon Sharpe Day at the Broncos home opener, as well as a Rockies game, which makes me happy. Upon my return home, I decided to buy a ticket to the last Twins game at the Metrodome (barring a last-minute push to the playoffs)...before realizing that it's over a thousand miles to Minnesota. Fuck. Oh well, stranger things have happened...and there's a chance I may make the trip anyway. It's a life-long goal to visit every MLB ballpark, and this is the first opportunity I've had to get myself to one that's closing...so I'm conflicted as to whether I should make the trip. Anyway, September's just about over, and the results are mixed. I'll update more tomorrow, though it's going to be a big day...
Talk to each other.
