What Is

My article this week is sort of personal - and revealing. It kind of implies that I never clean my house - just spend my time out in the backcountry with my dogs whenever I get a chance. That is only true in the summer months, when I don't have any visitors coming.

In my defense I mowed the lawn this week, and I loaded the dishwasher last week. I think the week before that I vacuumed, but I am not sure.

Well there could be worse things than living a cheerfully irresponsible life, free to climb up to experience the beauty and mystery of the high country with a couple of like-minded canine companions.

Like I say in the article, I am not a total recluse. My social life consists of dancing every Saturday night at the country dance hall I have been going to for the last fifteen years. I am pretty excited, because on July 1st our entire state is going smoke free, including bars and restaurants. (Colorado). That means for the next fifteen or twenty years or until I drop dead I can go dancing and not have it be bad for my health.

I don't drink any alcohol, or have any caffeine, ever. I guess my only vice is enjoying the firm feel of those gorgeous Saturday night ladies, and seeing how beautiful they are when they smile. I am not sure that is a vice though - more like good karma.
