You were so close to me! I live just a few blocks from the college. I graduated from there in 2009. I am also originally from Massachusetts.

Very pretty, Crankin. We flew through Grand Junction a couple of weeks ago for our Moab trip. We went to a really great cafe in downtown Grand Junction for lunch, although I can't remember the name. It looked like a cute area.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Very nice pictures Crankin, and glad you had a good time! I've been in Grand Junction, but it's been so long that I couldn't even swear to the year. It was back in my young/wild days (as opposed to my old/wildish days) so it's been awhile
You look great and it looks like the weather cooperated!

Yes, he is a unique young man. Very similar to my DS #2, who is a Marine and the former cyclist. They both are "selfless," as opposed to selfish. I privately joke that he turned out better than my own two kids, but that's not really true.
Grand Junction reminded me of Tempe, about 30 years ago! Indy, we stayed downtown and ate in a couple of the cafes. One particular one, the Italian bistro, was lovely after a hard 5+ mile hike in the Monument. Of course, that whole bottle of wine we drank at lunch helped that warm feeling
