Steve and I don’t really have a home right now. In the words of some, we’re “professionally homeless.” People ask us every day where we call “home,” how many times we go “home” (Boulder, Colo.), if we miss it, where we have our roots, where we’re from. It’s a classic conversation starter, but opens quite a conversation for us! Everyone can relate to the idea of home. I am very much a homebody. I love to have a nest. It might sound materialistic, but I like to be surrounded by things that make me comfortable — photos, comfy furniture, a huge kitchen — and I like to have my bearings — knowing where the most awesome grocery store is, where the closest dirt trails are, what the fastest way to my friends’ houses is. That said, I don’t miss home right now. I miss my family and friends every day,

We “stole” this Avett Brothers album from Chris and Leslie. It’s very hard to tell our cars apart. Oops. I really love this track off the album, I hope you do too. The Avett Brothers – Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise

I have a hard time justifying liking this 50 Cent song, but who cares, I guess. I love classic soul, a la Helene Smith, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Al Green (the latter to Steve’s daily mockery — I’ve learned not to put Al Green or Marvin Gaye on a mix CD for Steve), and there are some soul revival beats in this 50 Cent/The Game ditty. Here’s the fitty song I like, followed by one of my favorite Otis Redding songs.

On Saturday night we made our way to Vail (quick drive from @coppermtn) to check out the Barenaked Ladies in concert. Did you hear that it snowed in the Rockies this weekend? It did. Which means that since the concert was outside, it snowed on us. Although my piggies were frozen by the end of the show, it was quite a magical evening. The Barenaked Ladies don’t put on a concert, they put on a show. That too was magical – comedic improv, snow angels, layers and layers of clothing, huge snowflakes, BNL hits and new songs, about 10 feet from the stage amongst a crowd of 8,000, and even Jason Biggs! Kevin, the BNL drummer, recapped the evening on the BNL blog, complete with some photographic evidence of the snow flakes. I think you might even be able to see us in the crowd in the second picture. I

I heard about the musical duo Matt and Kim thanks to Pandora, and have been hooked on this song ever since. The tune’s upbeat, and the video looks like it was a ton of fun to shoot. Perfect for a holiday week! Ahora: Matt and Kim, Daylight

Phew, it’s been a long week! As such, my Friday evening will likely consist of eating food, watching a movie, and conking out. Until then, here’s a tune to nudge me through the day. Ahora: Phoenix, 1901
