My once-upon-a-time home, Aspen, lost its considerable New Year's Eve celebration income because one guy didn't feel like celebrating...he planned to place 5 bombs around town in out-of-the-way locations like banks and bar and blow the hell outta the town. (An old Aspenite, his friends said he would never have blown up the town, just bitter.) He loved the Old Aspen, things like Ajax chairlift no. 1 and the unpaved roads thru town that disappeared in the 60's, to be replaced by seemingly endless decades of bling...he's gone, he did himself in, and his imagined explosions would have done little to slow the bling...meanwhile in the Mesa County Jail sits an old friend of mind charged with being a courier in quite a large weed-trafficking operation that authorities say stretched from Arizona to Maine...he was quoted at the time of his arrest in early December as saying "Now, this is really going to ruin Christmas for everyone!" I'm rooting for his early release if, in fact, he is ever convicted...
Then, tonight, I have news from the coolest person in the world who has been in a Mexican ritual sauna lodge all day and ready to conquer any obstacles in her path...this is a person who cares more about the state of the world than anyone and, believe it or not, will someday be a great leader of many people...energized by struggles she has witnessed.
