The next morning we drove to Boulder Colorado to visit my stepbrother, a musician.

An amazing night with great people, great music. HUGE thanks to my stepbrother TK for taking us in, feeding my dog, and treating me to a good time.

Here’s a video I took of another DJ:

We headed home the next day. It’s always comforting to see this sign:

You really can “find yourself” on the road if you look hard enough. Use your time in the car to think about where you’re going (in life) and make plans for where you intend to be. Interact with your surroundings, meet new people, and try new things.

After a month on the road, I came home from this trip feeling like a much different person.

As for my Cadillac Seville, what an incredible machine.
