Some More Music
Alright, quick music post. Two things. Some times you get a song in your head that just burns itself into your mind and won’t leave. I listened to the Brandon Flowers album (lead singer for The Killers) and hi is song Magdalena has been on constant repeat for four days. No idea why. Now! Music that has a real reason for being played. It has been raining since I got to Pucon. It’s been a very rainy spring kind of vibe since I got here. When I feel that there... Read The Rest →
Pucon
So my schedule got changed up for a couple weeks at work and I’m back on R&R faster than I expected. I didn’t really know where I was going to go this time so it worked out well with work.

Tour de France – Grand Colombier
Oh, the French Alps. Beautiful, lush, green mountain views. It’s also a wonderful place for spotting the common Frenchman in his natural state. You may not see it in the picture but, I’m sure he’s smoking a cigarette. I mean, he’s French, with a baguette, on a bike. He must be smoking, and I think the rest of that bag is full of wine. But what we were really there to see was 170-some men in spandex sweat and suffer over a mountain. This, is the Tour due France.... Read The Rest →
