Next Door Drummers at Utopia



Bob intent on getting those tones!


NDD opened for J'Ouvert Steel Band at Utopia bar and grill.
Although we were missing a member - Clint - we held our own and had a great time.

Place of Peace

One of my new projects is creating a documentary on Furman University's sustainable programs.
Heidi and I went up to tape the blessing of the Place of Peace - a temple dismantled in Japan and put back together on the grounds of Furman.

UTAH

Spent some time in Utah this summer.
Wow! I had no idea how diverse and beautiful the area around Salt Lake City is.

The aspen forest was magical with a soft lush blanket of ferns.

Canyons galore, craggy jagged mountains that jut into the always blue sky. Dry hot. So much better than our humid drenching hot here in SC.

The land of LDS they say. Mormon country.

They have state alcohol stores where you have to buy your beer, wine and liquor....can't buy in the grocery store. Makes me feel a little sassy but... there are many great pubs tucked in various places.
Silver Fork Lodge in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Most of these places are ski resorts but it is sublime in the summer.

No Name Saloon in Park City. We had an excellent buffalo burger there.
Well, it was our birthday weekend so we lived it up...
We both did excellent in the gift dept.!


Water falls, vistas that reach forever, wild flowers and streams. It was lovely.



Is that a mountain goat? Oh it is just Kris.




Hung out with Kris Kornegay and had a marvelous time!
