We Have A Plan

This Thursday, I'm flying out to Denver. It's the first leg of my grand summer vacation vacation. For a week, I will be enjoying the wonders of nature with my good friends Murph and Crinus, who were previously involved in such memorable geologic outings as San Salvador (pictured), back in 2004. This will actually be the first time we're all reunited since VespaMan's wedding a year ago, which was only one night anyway. This time around, Murph and I will be trucking all over Colorado, doing as much nature-loving hippie stuff as possible. We've got a car, our field gear, a sufficient amount of wanderlust and money to spend. Oh, and for two days, we'll be hitting up Crinus for some free lodging in Boulder. It has the makings of an excellent trip.

After that, I get from Denver to Huntsville (by way of Atlanta), to join the fam in the new digs as El Presidente and SeƱora Primero of the University of Alabama at Huntsville. Mom mentioned recently that this is the first time in our family's history that none of us have seen where any of the others are living. The 'rents are in a dinky apartment in Alabama awaiting their spacious mansion, I just moved into my new place, BrynJoe is somewhere in East Africa, and Art-History is in a Baltimore ghetto. None of us have visited any of the others' respective places of residence yet. As is the curse of the eldest brother, I shall be the first to do so. Don't worry, BrynJoe and Art-History, I'll make a full report of the 'Bama lodgings as soon as possible.

word. Have fun in colorado. I hope you get to go to Casa Bonita.

Plus, I want pictures of the new abode.

I'm crossing my fingers in hopes of secret passageways behind book places and fireplaces.

And schematics.
