On Friday we went to Michael Lucarelli's art opening "lyrical meditations, " followed by attending the John Flander's and Double Helix concert at Westminster (the inaugural performance for the series that we will play with Red Rock Rondo in May 2006). After the concert we went to Michael and Shayla's birthday party.
The next morning we spent the morning on the porch and in the garden, followed by a hike to Dog Lake from MillCreek Canyon with Phillip and Charlotte.

The UK Terror plot: what's really going on?
From Craig Murray's
site. Given the level of deception our governments are willing to
engage in, it is worth considering seriously.
I have been reading very carefully through all the Sunday newspapers to try and analyse the truth from all the scores of pages claiming to detail the so-called bomb plot. Unlike the great herd of so-called security experts doing the media analysis, I have the advantage of having had the very highest security clearances myself, having done a huge amount of professional intelligence analysis, and having been inside the spin machine.
So this, I believe, is the true story.
None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn't be a plane bomber for quite some time.

Flavia, Harold and Coco "in Utah this week"
On July 21, 2006 Kim Burgess interviewed us for an article on our home that appeared in the August 3, 2006 issue of "in Utah this week" magazine. The original online edition of the article (different from the print edition) can be found here.
(The following is a stripped down copy of the online version---which is different from the print edition---in case the original link disappears.)
HAPPY COINCIDENCE GUIDES COUPLE TO DREAM HOME
Home Tour by Kim Burgess
Synchronicity is not only the name of a great Police song, but a real-life experience that sometimes guides people to exactly what they need.
Red Rock Rondo recording at Herc's
We, Red Rock Rondo, did a test recording at Herc's today. Unfortunately, some band members had allergic reactions to Herc's dog, so, no matter how the recording turns out, looks like we won't be doing more here.

death & rain
—for Andrew Voigt
another dead dad
summer—light rain
sounds on the rooftops
can hear death
bubbling up
—too proud
no one
makes it
til August
drifting in
& out of
sleep
clouds
cooler
sounds of trains
not a dream
a real live
loss
gone
is a word that says
goodbye
waiting
for lightning’s
thunder
(can I
even give this
to my friend?)
each small moment
makes a
day
even
the ones that
leave
the rain’s
thinking
water
the sun’s thinking
morning the day
after death
“after death”
so many millenium
answers
let’s make it
simple
absence
not here
not there
not
not yesterday
any
more
back to rain
rivers
oceans
small things
like sitting
in the mist
in the midst
of
forgetting
no
more
anymore
writing
while
waiting
to hear
him
move
even some
blue as the sun
moves through morning
take
your
time
echoes
