As a fan of this series, I am excited to watch this upcoming Season. While I didn't love the third as much as the first two, as it was not as realistic for others to replicate, it was still exciting to watch.

Anyone else a fan?

This year, I celebrated the so-called "Double Nickle." My ever-supportive wife gave me the greatest gift — "to get lost!" So I did my best in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico.

I'll write about these places later, but if you have any questions about locations, please ask. Some Highlights —

In light of recent news, it looks like I will now make the time to watch Conclave finally!

Remember, US National Park Week is April 19-27!

This year, the free day is April 19th. This can be a great day to visit, but if you are an NPS Passholder, it might be a good day to avoid the park crowds.

Doing my best to stay up to see the upcoming Blood Moon. There are many interpretations of the Blood moon- but many Indigenous North Americans see this as a time for reflection, renewal, and storytelling.

That’s the one I’m going to embrace.

Not a bad way to wake up. Exploring the roads around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe Loop today. Looking for “Tahoe Tessie”

Arriving someplace more desirable at some future time is an illusion. This is it. — Jon Kabatt-Zinn

I was not familiar with Wake Self. It's sad that artists often have to pass before they are noticed. I took this news as a prompt to learn more about other similar artists who actively share their talents with their communities. Thank you, @newmexiconomad.com for raising our awareness!

As a lover of the journey, I just realized I don't mind going back to the same places, which I used to think bothered me.

What I enjoy most is finding new ways to get to familiar places!

Well, actually, Joe, you were different.
You didn't want a perfect life, a typical life, or even a normal life.
You wanted a one-of-a-kind life.

How we doing? —  The Universe

I couldn’t have said it better myself; I'll take it. Thanks Universe!

I do not want to be influenced.

I want to be Inspired.

I do not want influence.

I want to Inspire.

There is a difference.

Today I vow to eat the Damn Marshmallow!

We can hoard our knowledge and wait for someday (metaphorical marshmallows) or give ourselves a break and recognize when we've prepared enough to turn Someday into Today!

Happy Friday! Dreaming of warmer days and open roads. UGH! And winter hasn't even started yet!
