I was unaware of Charlie Kirk until this morning. Gwen and I have been exploring Zion National Park since August. We've been staying at Watchman Campground mostly but we did backpack out to Lava Point and primitive camped for a few nights. This is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Hanging out in Salt Lake City now. Then taking a trip down I-40 to Tennessee. I have some business to wrap up there bore heading back to Wisconsin. Life has been pretty good. We had almost no cell coverage in the park and almost never turned the radio on. The world is a wonderful place if you can just divorce yourself from all the negativity. Hope you guys are all ok. It's been a while. Sounds like a great life, nice one GD I cant imagine not being connected to news but it clearly can be done and it sounds very healthy "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela

Glad to hear you are doing well. Yes, Utah has some really beautiful scenery. I never appreciated it until we took a photography tour down there. It's a terrific place for sunset lighting. Of course, the geologist down there blamed us up in Washington for "stealing" all their rain.

LadyCrimson Posted Friday at 02:07 PM Author Posted Friday at 02:07 PM Time moves faster every day, but I woke up this morning and it's apparently still Trump (and Trump-think)-era, so it's not moving fast enough. I occasionally still watch docs re: international/S. Korea adoptees (60's-80's, culture, psychology, trauma), because it's interesting/explains a lot, at least for many of us. I mean, it doesn't mean tons to me personally at this point, but it's still extremely relatable. I still feel like an alien sometimes, in that "I don't belong anywhere", culturally, social-class/status perception, other. Anyway, hubby and I the usual, he took today off, we're going to go waste the day somewhere for a while, spend some cash, eat some good food. Then probably come home and nap. 1 Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
