Aug 2015

We were watching a football game a month after I had moved back to MD after getting divorced here in Colorado. (I didn't have any family here and my folks were getting older, so I thought I should move back there to be near them.) Anyway, a Coors commercial was on...one of those old ones where icy water was running down through snow and ice-covered rocks on a mountainside...and apparently tears (which I was unaware of) were running down my face. I missed Colorado soooo much, the ex not at all. Took me 8 years to get back and have been here 25 years in all.
