Jonah has finally recorded a whole Album! It was meant to be a Christmas present, but it didn’t happen in time. Most of you reading this have probably gotten the CD already. If you’d like a copy of the CD, but haven’t gotten one, let us know. Otherwise, here’s all the tracks available for download:

There’s a few pictures from our Colorado Appreciation Weekend Drive up in the gallery. Additionally, there’s a little video of me driving Colorado 92, which is probably my favorite road in the state. There are better roads, but they all have traffic.

Saturday

02:00 pm: Arrive in Durango. Stop at Serious Texas Bar-B-Q to split a Texas taco (smoked pulled pork, onions, peppers, and potatoes in a soft fluffy tortilla) and two sweet teas.

Google Voice isn’t really all that bad, but it doesn’t like messages left from handsfree devices in cars.
