Wowwwwwww....

Listening to: Grateful Dead, Workingman's Dead

Back to the "real world" with the holidays behind me and a house full of kids but still smiling with the contact buzz from my mini-vacation in Crestone - where I've been the past few days and why I haven't written. It's not that I stepped away from society but more like I was in an alternate universe... check out the link for http://www.crestone.org/ for a bit of enlightenment... go ahead, I'll be here when you get back...

- See what I mean? Groovy little place and although I'm a skeptic in all things, the mellow energy in Crestone was palpable; a little slice of Nirvana in the San Luis Valley.

So I came home to my soon-to-be dismantled Christmas tree and a sink full of dirty dishes but everything was cool. No rush to log in and re-enter the blogosphere but when I did there were a half dozen comments telling me I'd made it as a finalist in the BoB awards for "Daddy Blog". It's as if all the cool people followed me home from Crestone...

Wowwwwwwww... if you feel up to voting for my hippie-dippy grinning-as-big-as-the-Great-Sand-Dunes ass, by all means, it's all good sisters and brothers. I'm sure glad to be back here with my kids and in the company of extremely cool supporters and I'm humbled that so many people figured this little blog-thing was worthy of BoB consideration but spending my last minute of the old year and the first minute of the new year in the embrace of a blissful sangha is more than I could have asked for or anticipated.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! The universe is sweet...
