My baby book, after a mere seven years of gestation, was born today, May 12. My first reading will be in less than two hours!!! It’ll happen in Hotchkiss, Colorado, just down the road from Paonia, where I spent 12 of the happiest years of my life. I wanted my first reading to be here
o, paonia!
because in many ways this still feels like home. Stanford really wanted to come, too, because he’s met at least a dozen of my friends from these parts, some of who traveled up to Wyoming several times to help out around the ranch, sweat, and generally hang out. But last week he had to go in for surgery to keep up the fight against the bedsores that are the bane of every quadriplegic. I just hung up a bunch of photos from his place and we’re about to start setting out chairs. Okay, it’s almost rock n roll time. Toodles for now.

Greetings from Bolivia! So sorry to miss the kickoff in Paonia, but we’ll see you in Boulder. What a long strange trip it’s been… for you and for us. Blessings from the land of Pachamama and the beautiful llama spirits of the south. May Broken touch many hearts. Abrazos!
