We're not in Michigan anymore!

I have taken a job in Denver, CO, so over the next few months we will be ripping up our roots again. I'm afraid my roots have been pulled from the earth so many times that they just don't grow very deep anymore. Our poor kids, their roots are still fresh and not accustomed to such disturbance. They find this process quite disconcerting, maybe even painful. I really hope we can find someplace they call home. I'm feeling really positive about this job opportunity, and I'm hopeful that this one will last as long as I do.

We're not exactly sure how this move is going to work out, since we've got to find someone to buy our house in Michigan before we can really settle in Colorado, but we are moving. In the mean time, I'll be hopping between Michigan and Colorado quite frequently. For my trips to Colorado, Bob and BJ have been grateful enough to let me stay in the guest room in their house in Boulder.


That means I get to enjoy Boulder. Today I rode north from the house in Boulder to explore the Boulder Valley Ranch Trails. These are out on the plains, not in the mountains, but I chose them because I was pretty sure they were dry enough to ride. I had a lot of fun, but I was lonely. I sure wish I'd had the whole of scaq with me.

    I suppose if I were to live anywhere in the middle-USA, I would want it to be Boulder. Real estate there is pricy by local comparison, but not so much compared to big coastal cities. You may have to settle for Denver for a few years.

    A suggestion on your blog. One reads this post, gets to the end, sees nothing more, and moves on, missing your Iceman post. I think you should either set the home page to extend down further to be sure the previous few posts are included, or you should make long posts appear on the main page abbreviated, with a "read more" link, allowing previous posts to percolate up.

    Boulder is definitely unique. Who wouldn't want live here? Nonetheless, since my office is on the south end of Denver, I don't see us ever living in Boulder. At least until the kids are both out of high school, we will try to keep our daily traveling distance (and time) to an absolute minimum. Maybe by the time both kids are finished with college we'll start thinking about buying a house again.

    I tried displaying multiple posts with the 'jump break' and a 'read more...' button. I didn't like it much.
