Colorado really is a different state of mind. The “Rocky Mountain high” jokes just write themselves. We had a pretty great weekend getaway. Many highlights, but Built to Spill the first night had to be tops. We even got Doug Martsch to sign a concert poster for us. Had to endure an eye roll to

I was saddened to hear the news that Ray Liotta passed away today. But I was downright mortified by my friend Ashley’s response. You know what? I was salty!
