flippin' awesome

good news people! neepa jo got a new job! my wife is now the marketing director and events coordinator for the steamboat springs arts council. that's a big time job! and i just can't stress enough how difficult it can be to get this kind of job in a ski town. i'm so happy for her - she can't wait to start. she liked her old job, but this new one is more in line with what she was doing when we were in denver. celebratory dinner tomorrow night. sweeeeeeeeet.

in other news, the seed of an idea for a new song:

starbucks and robitussin

v1
i'm drinking coffee and cough syrup
and it's just about 11 o'clock
the television tells me to join the navy
with flashy graphics and a little punk rock

chorus
and headlights are sliding down fish creek falls drive

v2
it's so cold on a clear night
flakes crystallize right out of thin air
she cups her palm and lights a cigarette
and kicks snow at the foot of the stairs

chorus
and girls and boys are riding down fish creek falls drive

bridge
never thought i'd be here
but i'm so glad i am
neon lights buzz in liquor stores
i circle back but turn around again

v3
music escapes through open doors
corduroys zip to the beat
drunks giving what-for and much more
as college kids stumble down the street

chorus
and i'm driving home on fish creek falls drive
