Yes, Kat, it is Eldorado Springs, or was. The cabin we lived in has been knocked down to make way for some enormous monstrosity. Not that I am so nostalgic for the good old days that I miss the way our neighbor's septic tank used to overflow into our yard...I was pleased to see on my last visit back, however, that the road is still in as bad a state as ever...

Apologies to those of you who do not have the pleasure of knowing Eldorado Springs, Colorado.

Anyway, back to the subject. When I was in the hospital after Jamie was born, the other members of my band came to visit and we all stood around him singing "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby" (from the Oh Brother soundtrack). We got some pretty funny looks from the other folks in the ward, but I'll have fun telling him that story when he's older. Yes, start them young-- I agree.

Cheers for now, EG
