After a busy day, Lori and I were out of here a little after 3. We made it to Jeff and Tina’s around 5:30 or so. Tina was going to go with us to the concert but was too tired from gardening all day. We visited for about an hour and then took off for the show.
We made it in around 7. The first band was super loud, and frankly, hard to listen to. It was almost comical. After about an hour, around 8:30, Tesla went on. It was a great show, and the band was great. For Lori, it was a flashback seeing them again and hearing all the songs live. Fun time and the Mission Ballroom is a great venue.
We were out of there a little after 10pm. We decided to try to make it through the highway closures and get home. Looking on our phones, we went up Clear Creek canyon to try to avoid the closure on I-70. We almost made it to Idaho Springs but at the last turn off, it too was closed. So up to Central City we went. We cruised through town and headed down the back way to Idaho Springs where we could get on I-70 west. There was roadwork on and off all the way to the tunnel, but we whizzed through most of it, avoiding the 20-minute traffic holds at the tunnel. In the end, I had us home by 12:15 which was 2 hours and 10 minutes.
We went right to bed as Lori is in Frisco today. It’s almost 7am now. Super nice up here. It’s going to be sunny and warm today. Probably close to 90 degrees. Phoenix is looking at 110!
Lastly, Lori has a doctor at the hospital who has Parkinson’s and is the head of hospice. Yesterday he wrote down the five things his patients in hospice say. I don’t remember them all, but the first one was, I wish I didn’t work so long, then, I wish I stayed in touch with my friends. Next was I wish I did more things I always wanted to do, and there were a couple others. Makes you think. Any day could be your last. Are you really living your life the way you want to? For us, with us both now in our 60’s, we’re going to do more things we want to. That includes travel, working less, and more things with the kids. You always hear hindsight is 20/20. Well, here’s your chance to see into the future. Just make it happen. You’ll be surprised at what you can do if you really want to do it!
God Bless.
