On a roll

Can't even count how many days in a row it's been just downright gorgeous weather here in Telluride... highs in the upper 60s, not a cloud in the sky, cool, crisp air and just enough wind to cool us off while we hike.  The lows are getting down to in the 30s at night, so first thing in the morning it's a bit nippy, but we are still able to hike in shorts and a t-shirt.

Jim and I just finished doing our door to door voter registration effort on behalf of the Obama campaign. It went pretty well; we hit nearly 70 homes, got to meet some of our neighbors, and never ran into a McCain supporter. A good afternoon, indeed.

Earlier today I had a meeting with a couple of new acquaintances with whom I am going to be producing a documentary film about how (when & why) people found and stayed in Telluride. We plan on getting grants and sponsors from the community such as the Telluride Museum. Fortunately, my co-producer has experience in this area, as she is a former Mayor of Telluride.  
I'm not exactly sure how it is that I've become so busy and entrenched in the community here, but it sure is nice. 

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Love the updates. Really enjoying them. And it sounds like both of you (especially Susan) are really having way too much fun in all that volunteering stuff in that "next life" of your's. It's supposed to be 90 in Charlotte on Sunday - I am so envious of that cool weather you're getting in T-Ride now.
