Graham, my nephew, visited for a week at the end of August. Just now getting around to posting it! He's almost 15...and has renewed my faith in teens. Another great Seyffert kid! Wow, Will and Linda are amazing parents.
Some fun things we did with him are go the a Willie Nelson concert at Red Rocks (pix below), mountain bike, play guitar hero, go to Elitch Gardens (roller coasters and water slides), and chow down on hot pot.

Red Rocks Concert - Emmy Lou Harris & John Prine
Went to our first concert this season at Red Rocks. Emmy Lou Harris opened for John Prine. Both were wonderful. Emmy Lou seems to be more beautiful as the years roll on. She has such an ease and gentle charisma on stage. You can imagine her being a country diva on stage; instead she's simply at home.
Prine, what a consummate performer! I think the last time I saw him was about 15 years ago at the Strawberry Festival. Unfortunately for him, he's not under the same graceful aging spell as Emmy Lou. He stiffly walked with a slight limp to the mike. I wondered how this would affect his performance. But the moment he began, he was lively, light and playful. Whether he played alone or with his 3 piece band, Red Rocks resonated with his presence and music. It's still hard to believe that a 3 piece band can "fill" so much space. They also treated us with several duets; twangs intertwined, her's crisp, his lilting.

Getting into Video
Wow, I had fun putting together those home gym videos! As you know, I'm more into photo and haven't done much in the motion realm. I found a free video editor program that's pretty robust and easy to use (once you figure out how to use the features). I ended up paying the lifetime fee, a whooping $29 bucks, to avoid the watermark throughout and open up all functionality. Worth it!

Found an amazing music tool - Music Locker! Unlimited free uploads so you can access ALL your music online from anywhere (w/ computer and internet access of course)! Just dropped in into my website as a gadget.
It requires my log in (if you want to try it out, email me and I'll send it to you...if I know you!) From the "Make Selection" drop down list, select either one of the play lists, e.g. "Sampler D", or select an artist/album and navigate to anything on the list to play.
