Dear handful of readers including my mother-in-law -

My life fits into about 35 boxes. That includes my wife's clothes, shoes and books. I've learned that this week -- moving week. I'm happy to report our neighbor Vicky inherited our wooden rocking chair. Our friends Jenna and Sam drove off with our bed frame. Yesterday our grill sprung a gas leak, nearly setting the neighborhood on fire. Luckily, I put the fire out soon enough, but not too soon so that my hamburger could finish cooking. (So long, old grill, you've been good to me. But it will be nice not having to pack you in the U Haul trailor.)

Last week I was selected as the emerging artist for the Four Corners Folk Festival in Pagosa Springs. This means a lot to me. It's nice to have people every once in a while say, "Hey, we think what you're doing in life is great." Everyone needs doses of that, because a person can only go so long before their belief in themselves begins fading. Anyway, If you're interested in summer folk festivals in the Colorado area, click the link above and consider this one. They have a cool line up. FYI: I'll be playing Friday, August 29th at 2pm. Maybe 3pm. One or the other. Thanks for reading,

Aaron
