As beautiful as the landscape in your photo. It's always a bit tough looking back. It always amazes me how much emotion comes surging back from looking back on a mere photo, or hearing a familiar tune. Such a beautiful post. As beautiful as the landscape in your photo.

Hood Timberline Lodge for dinner. After a splendid meal, we started the trip down the twisty, mountain-hugging road. It was late September, a perfectly clear evening with a new moon, so I pulled off the road and told everyone to get out so we could take advantage of the cloudless night to really see the stars. Almost as soon as we had all gotten out, Kurti, a lady from Santa Clara, CA said, "Allen, it's not cloudless. See? There's a cloud right up there." "Kurti, that's not a cloud. That's the Milky Way." She was so overcome w/emotion she wept, saying over and over again, "I cannot believe I'm actually seeing the Milky Way. I cannot believe this. Oh my!" And had I a sleeping bag in the Suburban I'm sure Kurti would've stayed there all night. The point? What was so obvious to me was a new revelation for Kurti. And that's how life continues to skip along, with new revelations arriving around each bend in the road or beyond each "cloud" in the sky. Years ago I drove a bunch of colleagues up to Oregon’s Mt.
