Lightning Storms
I’m in the midst of the most incredible lightning storm I’ve ever seen. There are some sparse clouds hanging over the underpasses as I was driving that looked like a party fog machine dissipated. There wasn’t a lot of rain on the road so I could drive pretty fast. The lightning kept the sky lit like it was daylight while the spiderwebs light surrounded me with light. I tried...
Bike ride to Cherry Creek reservoir, swim in said reservoir, Cherry Arts Festival, Girls Rock Denver meeting, friend’s going away BBQ. Sounds like a winning Independence Day Eve celebration to me!
My musical background is my father playing a grand piano all throughout my childhood.
Inspiration
I have a lucky life. I get to experience many things that most people don’t get to. Currently, I’m in the studio recording bass with an amazing vocalist and friend Jennifer Leigh. We’re recording a doo-wop song called Where E’er You Go. It’s really catchy and I’m so excited to be a part of the creation.
Being a studio bassist is something I’m really pumped to have the opportunity to do. It’s a...

“Nice car
Where’d you get your ride?
A trophy? Badge of honor? Overcompensation?
Price tags advertise your pride
Since when did what we pay for colored cloth gauge our gravity?

Now go and try and sleep in the bed you made
You should be careful what you wish for
Cause everyone of us has the devil...

Hard decisions
“Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.” - The Fray
I had to make a very hard decision recently. It affected me, some of my friends and some of the people that I work with. In time I will be able to tell you what this decision was but now is not that time so I will be talking about it as a decision and nothing more. Life is full of challenges and choices. Some...

There are over 1300 of them, but they are organized by the day. I hope you enjoy.
Reflection
I’m sitting on a shady bench outside of Cherry Creek Mall in Denver. Most Wednesdays I have music students but summertime has given me this and next Wednesday off. At times I’ve worried about the financial ramifications of not working, but right now I’m happy to have nowhere to go.
I got to spend the morning with my lady. She teaches yoga so I went to her sunrise class at 6:15a...
