NYC and Radiohead

This past week I (Bryant) had the incredible opportunity to visit New York City and then head up to Boston for my first-ever Radiohead show. I did all of this with my good friend Tim, who I've known since I was in fourth grade.

I flew in on Tuesday and that evening we ate at a very cool Italian restaurant a few blocks off of the main strip of Times Square. I hadn't been to the city since I was about eight so it was just awesome to be there again.

The next day we drove up to Boston for the show. I've been a big Radiohead fan since I first heard OK Computer (which is considered by many to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time) when I was a junior in high school. More than 10 years and 4 Radiohead albums later I finally got my chance to see them live. The show definitely lived up to my high expectations and was one of the best performances I've ever seen.

And for those Radiohead fans who are reading this I've uploaded a few short video clips of the show...

Zoe: "Being a mountain dog is harder than it looks."

Hi, my name is Zoe, and I'm a dog. I just want to make one thing clear for any of you who might be jealous of my life in Colorado: being a mountain dog is harder than it looks. Sure, I get to chase rabbits every morning on my walk, and I get to swim in lakes and streams all the time. I get to explore the Flatirons of Boulder and the Rocky Mountains off-leash almost every weekend. But this life is not for everyone. For example, I am currently on the 5-day Disabled List with a torn carpal pad, which I received during a hike this past Saturday up to the Royal Arch in Boulder...and my dad (Bryant) didn't even give me any beef jerky like he usually does when we go hiking. And did you know that sometimes he makes me wear a pack to carry stuff? (please refer to earlier posts for photographic evidence). Well, I would like to write more but I can only type with one paw right now as the other is bandaged. Have a nice day.

Heart,
Zoe


P.S. People in Boulder actually converse with their dogs as if they are people.
