WOW

I have been traveling this month. Two weeks ago, I was in Indianapolis at GenCon (and I have a half-written blog about that on my home PC). Tonight, I am in Seattle getting ready to attend the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) with the team from Cryptic (our new corporate masters).

Anyway, I have never been west of the Mississippi -- until today. I really wish that I could have taken the time to drive this trip. There's something about seeing something from the ground (or there is for me). However, I *must* share this:

I woke up from a nap on the plane today, looked out my window and there were the Rockies. WOW! Good-googily-moogily! WOW! I mean, I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains and I get to see them everyday. And, they are beautiful, bucolic; but these were giant, sharp-peaked, tall. I guess that I already knew that. But seeing them for myself that head knowledge became heart knowledge.

I feel very small thinking about those mountains. The world is such an amazing place, so full of beauty. I am glad for the opportunity to see more of it than I ever had before. And, I look forward to coming back here and seeing it again.
